COMPLETELY TRANSFORMING the Ugliest Mustang in ONE DAY

It was the Ugliest Mustang I could find, but with these three simple upgrades we made it look way more presentable. I bought one of the ugliest mustangs in Utah, but thankfully I could see the vision of what this car could be. By simply removing a few changes the previous owner had installed, selecting a new set of wheels and adjusting the suspension, this 2003 New Edge Mustang GT now looks presentable enough to begin the serious modifications.

Mustang II - “am I a joke to you?”

These, 99-04 are the greatest looking Mustangs imo

I can't for the life of me understand why people want to live in an HOA! I do a lot of work in HOA neighborhoods and between what I see and what I hear from residents I don't see the benefits! You buy a house then still pay $300+ a month to the HOA for them to tell what you can and can do to your own home! That definitely isn't for me!

[danmitchell]

it definitely looks way better. I can't wait to see what's next ... Mini-tub? And all the other suspension and engine upgrades! Hopefully the HOA stays semi quiet about your line of work.

LT, those are OEM 98 Cobra wheels, they are NOT the same as the Cobra R wheels. I’d hate for you to buy the 17x10.5 rears to figure it out after they’re mounted. They look kinda similar but the spokes on the 98 Cobra wheels have a more aggressive bow to them and the spokes are slightly thinner than the 95 Cobra R wheels.

Btw, congrats on the purchase and my vote is COYOTE POWER!

Love the transformation. Go with 10.5s in the rear. A window tint, smoked headlights, and a Cobra R hood would go a long way.

[ProModsPerformance]

Looks alot better! Needs another 2”+ lower, but massive improvement

[justin.c_svt]

Those were all the right things to do to start out. Nice job. I would have done the same. The cobra wheels are actually 1998 cobra wheels. They were a 1 year only wheel and I had them on my 98 cobra. So they are not the 95 cobra R wheel even though they look similar.

What a great result. Lowering that car and letting the body lines speak for themselves makes it very nice.

Good choice on wheels!! Its amazing how much of a difference it made with removing the stripes and those wheels

Doing the same thing with my 2001 V6. Working on a LS Turbo swap and shooting for around 600-700hp. 4L80e and all that jazz. I actually bought a real Saleen body kit (front bumper, rear bumper and decklid with spoiler) at the big show in Charlotte earlier this year for $400. It totally transformed the look of the car along with the 17x10.5 wheels in the back. :) Nice thing is I got the car so cheap I feel like I can go to town on it and not be worried about doing something majorly wrong. This way I can keep my Shelby safe of any more mods. LOL

I heard somewhere where there is some kind of spacer for the rear wheels so that they're extended out. It's either that or get wider wheels and tires. The nice thing is that there are mods and upgrades that can be done that makes the car more modern looking. As long as one has the bucks to do all this. My hood has peeled after 21 years but it'll cost $1500 just to paint the hood. I can get the whole car painted for about $7k which will keep the paint matched.

[rotaxtwin]

Heck yeah, it looks great now. not a bad sized wheel, and nicely styled.

OK, so LT how about an old school Cleveland for this build? Lots of parts available, huge flow potential with the heads. Anyway huge mustang fan and looking forward to see what you do to this thing...keep up the great work!

[Blackv]

it's so nice to go from watching LT on TV to seeing him on YouTube which is 1000% better because better and cooler content on the builds he loves with out the stupid commercials

[Murf]

I just noticed how close you are to 100K. You’ll definitely exceed your target before the end of the year.

[nelsonramos]

I Just bought a 02 mustang gt, same stripes and 4x4 Stance haha, i am going to delete the grille and black housing headlights and for sure cutting my springs and save for somo good coilovers, awesome video!!!

[Whats-It-To-Ya]

As a Camaro guy, I like your style. Simple, quick and effective. I love that shade of blue. I've cut the springs on a lot of cars and never once had a problem. Great work overall!

[ezekielmoorejr]

I like the look, I definitely agree that the stripes had to go! And I like the wheels you put on it.

I was already fan for the truck content but now you have added Mustang content has me excited. My channel is based on my 97GT and my 99NBS
