R.I.P.
May 5, 2009 to October 7, 2009
1992 Ford Mustang GT hatch. 302 5 speed. Born the same year as me.
The day she was delivered to me.
I bought it with a blown head gasket. Took it straight to my mechanics house where it stayed for 3 weeks until i could finally take it home.
All stripped down. Yes, that's antifreeze in the cylinders.
All finished up and ready for me to take home.
The Mongoose got new shoes today!! I was so pumped. I was texting everyone who might even remotely care. They're just 17x9 Cobra Rs, nothing too special but i got a pretty good deal on them so i was happy.
The last pictures of Maurice (For Sale pics):
Got the rear 5 lug swap done, but when i was pushing the studs into my brand new axles, i was a little bit worried about hurting them. That came around and bit me in the ass when my wheel fell off in the middle of the road. Luckily, nobody was hurt and the damage wasn't terrible.
And thus ends the story of the short lived life of Maurice the Mongoose. As sad as i was to see her go, the guy that bought her has much more time, money, and skill than i do (he owns a body shop) and im sure Maurice is in much better shape than she would have ever been in in my care.
