1996 Ford Mustang Base review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
While under hard acceleration from a rolling start (approaching a red light that turned green) w/defroster on the heater bypass hose from the t.stat housing ripped open about 4 - 6" spewing coolant all over a hot engine. Not a pretty picture.
Also I've had to have paint repairs due to peeling paint at/behind rear license plate cutout and under the hood on the lf fender lip/edge.
General comments?
Easy to upgrade, installed Mach 460 speakers in front doors, Mark VIII CD radio in place of cassette and Probe digital EQ in cubby below radio...KICKS
***
Installed Dual exhaust, 3.27 rear gears, K-N air filter.
