you had all those problems with a mustang? that's pretty sad. I never had
any big problems with my 91 GT...but then all the suspension was kenny brown
and hotchkis...baer brakes, 351 w/a tremec 5 speed. The motor was fully
computer controlled and as a whole the car was totally trouble free until i
got rid of it. (Car was set up for autocross, that's my favorite thing to
do!) I recently traded it for a very nice 67 fastback (and some cash)
that's got a 289 w/a 4 speed manual trans.
