As a comp orange cobra owner , I appreciated this video of the old girl being saved

I liked the fact you guys kept it a 2 valve! I love all the v8 engines Ford came out with. But this is a nice build and the detail is great!

Haha I’ve felt directly with Landen for many years, great and very knowledgeable gentleman! I’m glad to have a Mustang again about 10 years later

Very clean restoration. Not every car has to be built to 1000 hP, just enjoy it for what it is. Come do mine next :)

YES love to see people saving the New Edge cars finally! That paint POPS

I own a Comp Orange 04 GT so to say that this whole series got the gears turning would be an understatement. Yours turned out amazing and is a huge motivator to see what mine would look like without peeling clear coat... Thanks LMR for the awesome content and being the place to turn for Mustang Info and Shopping!

C.O. Is one of the greatest colors for a muscle car, I love it, who doesn’t love this color 👍🏼 👍🏼

ive got a Competition Orange V6 I'm working on right now. pretty excited to get it back in good condition

Small world man, I can remember Tyler from back in the cavalier days!! Glad to see your still in Waco and working on the pony!!

Appreciate you sharing this in-depth restoration, it gives me hope. I got my late father's 2003 Tropic Green GT down to my house this year, and am about to start restoring/building it in his honor. 85,xxx miles and needs some love, but this video series is a good guide of how to approach things. Thanks again and congrats on your restoration!

You all did a excellent job!! Car is beautiful!! Congratulations on having a restored car that you can enjoy and appreciate all the work that was put into it! Another Mustang saved!!!

Quality people and an unlimited budget to do it right, anything can be accomplished. Nice result.

Those 18” mach 1 wheels are one of the best looking wheels for the new edge platform, I wish I had a set, they are not cheap

If I had the money, Team and resources... Hell yeah! I'd do it. I'm looking at used mustangs now.

6:51 I am totally using this as a GIF for when I troll someone about blinker fluid actually existing!

It looks perfect, and it looks tough. It brings back a lot of memories from 99'-04'. Now I want a New Edge like never before.

Now we need a SN95 build

Absolutely incredible work. Freaking night and day! This was awesome to watch. Thank you!

Wow, what a transformation. Great job and it turned out gorgeous

Great story and amazing restoration!!!!!

This car was really nicely restored. Impressive!

I have a similar story with mine. I bought my 2002 GT Mustang back in 2007, I think I was the third owner. Had it for about 4 years or so. Did some basic things to it, wheels exhaust etc. then I sold it in 2011. I sort of regretted selling it after that, searched for it off and on (new owner was from out of state) and eventually found it again and bought it back. It's currently in the process of getting a coyote swap with a T-56 from a 2004 cobra (I bought the car back as a roller). But more or less I'm making the car look pretty much like it did before I sold it. It had a lot of sentimental value to me (I had the car through my first overseas deployment to Iraq). Nostalgia is a hell of a motivator lol.

awesome work guys looks amazing.....

Inspiration for my build has been restored hahaha you guys did an incredible job and I love the build

She’s a beauty.

I love that you kept it stock 2v. I agree on changing the rims to stage 3 👍🏼

Nice build, guys!

This Video has Inspired my Build in many ways. Love it!

Awesome video. Keep the new edge projects coming!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. We got to see an ENTIRE build in one showing, none of this "episode" stuff. Great job! Add some boost to that car and it'll be icing on the cake.

GREAT RESTORATION VIDEO AND KEEPING THE 2V ENGINE! I have the same car in Black and this video is making me keep it for good!

gorgeous.....nice burnout!

Nice job!!!

Amazing work LMR ❤️

Awesome transformation; I probably would have kept the Mach 1 or even the 01 Cobra wheels. Way cleaner look 👀

I just got a 2000 mustang gt. it runs amazingly but it needed some body and interior work. I catch myself binge watching mustang videos and restoring them.

I have a 2004 GT convertible with 5spd. The color is RedFire with the same dark charcoal leather interior. Mine has 155,000 miles, and is in very good shape. Im happy with mine !!

One week in with my zink yellow 03 Mach1. LMR will be my go to for parts for my build. 130k on her and pulling strong.

I think you guys hit everything on the mark Orange isn’t really my color of Choice but this video definitely gave me some insight on what to do to my 2003 gt convertible

Mine is a 99 it’s getting painted and body work done to it. I had it since 2014 I got it from a junkyard and now I can say it’s the best vehicle I own.

I would have sourced a 99 4v na cobra engine and cleaned it up/replace anything that needs replacing, tremac t56 6 speed swap and sourced 99 or 01 cobra gauges. I loved every single wheel it had on there even the stock wheel. I will say that stock wheel is my favourite for older mustangs.

As a comp owner I gotta say this build is absolutely perfect

Car looks great 👍🏽

I have a 2002 Mustang GT with 225,000 miles on it. It doesn't burn even a drop of oil per oil change/4-5000 miles. I just got done replacing a few coil packs, a throttle positioning sensor, a mass air flow sensor, plugs, oil, wheel bearings on the front and i picked up a set of Michelin tires with 1/2 thread on them for a whopping $40. I do everything on a budget because i just can't afford to pay out the ass for everything brand new and yet the car is in much better working condition, still with very little rust on it. It still needs a few more parts [like a new windshield, a new gas pedal throttle control sensor and maybe some suspension pieces] but i am happy with this car over all and had no idea what kind of car i was even buying when i agreed to buy it. I just needed a car and my other one [a Saturn] blew up on me]. I bought this for $100 a month payments 5 years ago and paid $2000 in total for it. Because i have health problems and the previous owner gave me a deal on it and i have no family members left, i plan on giving him back the car some day in much better condition than when i first got it. Over the months to come i will continue to replace parts like the windshield and suspension as i can get to them in rather slow fashion and someday he most certainly won't regret giving me a good deal on this car as for the fact that he will get it back free and clear in such better condition. I would post a pic of it if i could but you tube don't allow pics here. It looks almost identical to this car!

I dig the whole rebuild, the interior is perfect, I even like those wheels, needs a procharger though lol

My favorite thing was the Mach 1 interior for sure 👍🏼

This is why I say please start making more parts for the new edges

Good build. Miss my 2V

Very cool! Love Comp Orange 😁what a difference after. Edit... maybe put a procharger on it? Looks amazing!

shout out to these guys !

Would kill for this to be done to my poor 2v, great vid! Last thing I’d do is the mustang rear bumper lettering in chrome!

amazing!

Looks awesome! I totally agree with the spoiler delete. I think these new edge stangs look way better without the spoiler. Would you believe I actually saw someone with a 2001 mustang bullet with the highland green and it HAD a SPOILER that they obviously had installed, because the bullets came without the spoiler. Looked horrible. But this comp orange looks awesome. The only thing I think you should have kept was that special looking gas cap that you had on the car, like the bullet. You painted over it in the competition orange and I think you should have kept that unique looking stainless steel or whatever gas cap and cover etc. But that's just my opinion. Overall the car looks awesome!

Amazing! Great job by the whole team! I have a '99 Limited Edition black convertible GT automatic. I'd love to restore it. Send me info on where or how to get mine done up like yours!

Replace door windows they are still scratched up. If its a base coat and clear coat paint u can buff and wet sand it the correct way real good to show quality paint job to perfection. Youre car is Amazing i like it alot.

A full out restoration and I would have added a mix of Roush, Saleen and Cobra body parts. A cobra rear bumper with cobra smoothed out, Roush side skirts, Saleen door/quarter panel fake vents Hood of your choice and Roush or Saleen front bumper

I have to wait to finish mine 😢, moving out of state and too busy with that

I have a Mineral Grey 01 GT that I built for autocross/roadcourse/canyon carving fun. The brake upgrade to the Cobra/Mach 1 style and a short throw shifter have to be my favorite mods as far as driveability goes. I had a deer choose my car as method of suicide and I had to replace the hood, bumper, and driver fender. I went with the V6 hood and Mach chin spoiler, and took off all the panels to take to the paint shop. Sitting in the driveway with the front body panels off, it looked MEAN

I love my 2001 new edge I miss driving it it's been a yr now but hopeful I can get it back on the road soon I miss driving I won't to start taking it to shows

Wouldn't you think the comp orange outer paint would be last to do? Low chance that damages to the paint would occur.

Looks great! Would like to ask if you upgraded the radiator and did you address the coolant pressure?

You took the scoop and wing off ,thats 2 of my favorite ,no go for me and ,no comp cams no trick flow heads ,no elderbrock,no bbk 78mm tb,and few other things to make her track ready

I absolutely love what you've done with the car however the only thing that I would have changed was the headlights... I have HIDs in my car I did have the factory halogens but the reason that I went with the HIDs is because the factory halogens weren't bright enough and unfortunately I ended up wrecking the front end of my car so I had to have the front end of my car refurbished when I ended up wrecking the front end of my car I actually blew the airbags I decided not to put the airbags back in because it's a muscle car I took the original steering wheel out because it reminded me too much of my truck and I put a three spoke steering wheel in it... I like the three spokes steering wheel because it looks more like the mustang should look... The reason that I did not put the airbags back in I opted out on the airbags is because it's a muscle/sports car it's a V6 3.9 L with a 5-speed manual transmission... Does it have the power of a 5.0 dual cam dual valve? No it does not but she will let you know she's a pony 🐎 now as far as the headlights are concerned if I were you and this is just a suggestion put a set of HIDs in it get a hold of SW lights the guy's name is Sean Wicca he does fantastic work and you can custom make the lights anyway you want them mine were $1,008 dollars but it didn't buy them all at once he actually let me make payments on them and then he sent them to me when you were paid off... I'm telling you I love my lights... It is a complete difference between night and day literally... Yes they are expensive but I'm telling you they are worth their weight in gold much better than those halogens... People do do this but it is actually against the law you can buy HIDs to put in your factory globes but know this it is against the law to have HIDs in your factory globes you must have a projector style globe to put HIDs in as long as you have a projector style globe those are not against the law... Like I said they are more expensive but they are well worth their weight in gold

Man im born in 93 and the fox bodies were the first ones i was around daily but I remember being eight or so when they came out and man oh man i loved the first look of the 99 when it came out. I just bought one thats an 02 and im ripping the drivetrain out and im putting a coyote in it

Thats my exact car. 40th anniversary gt comp orange.

The OME bumper skin for my 01 GT Deluxe vert was $879 in 2013, someone backed into it with a lift gate van and punched a $25 size hole in it and couldn't be repaired, it does not need be restore yet other then replacing the silver smoked headlights

Awesome video but wish you would have trashed the 2v and straight axle for a 4v and IRS. I did and LOVE IT!

Clean car! Time for a Coyote swap now

Ok so, I was gifted my grandfather's 00 gt convertible after he passed and I'd like to do something like this, what's the ballpark range as far as cost and time? I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable so it wouldn't be this in-depth. I still drive it but it needs major work. 205 on the dash, all original. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Loved the video, love the channel, love mustangs!

I recently purchased the series 2 in bronze. The barrel lips don’t seem to be as polished as yours do, or even the pictures on the website. They have a more flat machined look. Im curious if you guys polished these? Thanks!

I had an 04GT and now a 14GT and I sorta miss my 04. The SN95s get crapped on for lack of power but once you get over not winning races they are great first fun cars. Reliable and plenty quick. My 04 sounded 10x better than my 14 lol. And they noticeable weigh a lot less when you drive them. I actually miss mine and actually found my 14 looking for a mach1.

you almost made me cry

I have 2000 GT. And I wish i had the time to do this to mine

I will never understand guys that don’t like rear spoilers. I just think it’s missing something!!

how much would it cost to repaint one of these complete because mine is looking pretty bad

Okay but what did you do w the Cowl hood!? I’ll take it LOL

Only thing I will say is these cars NEED the rear spoiler. Just they look sooo much better with them than without

I've got 99 SVT Cobra Mustang with 64K miles. It's Highly modded everywhere for road course tracking if not racing and looks somewhat stock kinda like a 2000R on steroids but with a lot more performance. Many parts purchased thru LMR, MMM, Steeda, Summit to name just a few... The car is still purposely street legal Haltech ECU with Auto Blip going in presently to help manage engine HP and then it going thru the drive train more effectively keeping the car/tires hooked Up. Aero had to be quite seriously addressed too hence 2000R on steroids and hopefully not too "ricey". Lastly, need to address an ABS upgrade based on hopefully 200 to 40 treadwear tires

I don't have a 2 valve. I have a base model new edge with the 3.8l v6.... but I'd love for it to look stock plus like this gt in Acapulco Blue. Go ahead, and laugh. 😆

If you use that hood with a 03/04 style bumper will you run into fitment issues

Keeping it on the real,yeah,,,,yall

Love the car! Except the wheels.

Come on…. Boost !!!

Great video but WHERE can i get them plastic air lines ?!

How would i even start to do a resto like this, currently torn down doing timing chain and lifters on mine and i want to do a showroom resto, down to the carpet and prefect interior and body pannel fitment, what would be the price point on a simple garage resto?

2v gang!

Should have kept that cowl hood looks more aggressive and cobra front bumper. Also would do the chrome wheels but go with Saleens and also lower it

How many total man hours of work did you put into this. Including paintjob, cleaning, reassembly and troubleshooting.

Watching this makes me worried. I am just one guy how am I ever going to finish this project lol. I got a 99 GT I bought a few months back that I want to make look new.

Can’t wait to hear about an engine swap😩

Had an 04 CO GT, but sold it in 2018. Had a Terminator hood, Bullitt side deletes, and a duckbill spoiler (different from the Cobra). Had only 60K miles and was mint! Miss that car...

What wheels and tires do you have on the car?

someone wanna tell me how much you think that would all be?

Is there a Spanish variant on this channel my cousin would love this.

Paint the chin spoiler body color. Fills out the front profile and looks better.

Just bought my first ever car a day or so ago can't wait to register and drive it 2000s v6 auto convertible stock spent $3000 runs and drives insurance has me at about 600 really wish I could've got a gt anyone got tips got modding the 3.8 v6

Is the car lowered?

I agree that these new edge stangs look so much better without that ugly spoiler from the factory. I had made a comment about this and everyone was jumping on me in the comments. I guess a lot of people like that ugly thing on the back. To each their own I guess, but my opinion is it's ugly, so good move sir in taking it off and really improving the looks.

I wanna do this. As a kid I thought this would be my first car. I’m 25 years old in school and I drive a motorcycle 35 mins every morning in 30 degree weather and 45 mins back. I still haven’t purchased my first car. I could only afford a motorcycle.

All that work and no 03-04 cobra front bumper... That would've been the cherry on top.
