Default Whats everyones take on these parts?

Was helping my mechanic take the diff out of the mustang, I my self have not been around the car when it's usually in pieces. I knew it was lowerd with Eibach springs and shocks,but I was surprised by the sticker on the shock, I have also included acouple of pics off the mufflers the were replaced some time ago. I recon the car might have an interesting history but might be hard to find out being an import.

Is yours an AUS delivered Mustang? May have been one of the early ones they tested out.

If it was indeed a mule for Ford or Eibach for that matter would explain some of problems I've had with it over time, mule are not exaclty driven to church on sundays. I've always had the impression it;shad a hard life before I got it. Never the less it is an awesome cruiser!

Good in a way though being a one off vehicle technicaly, most mules get crushed so it's rare to se one. makes it a bit spesh!
I've seen this car up close verrry nice!

Thats kind of cool though, aslong as your issues haven't been terminal you'd expect most of them wouldn't you?

I love that shape stang, do you have any threads on it?
