New Edge Mustang Project Car | Project Keeping Comp (Full Video)

[@streetcarmedia660]

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!

[@trevorshubin]

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

[@trenthuntsman2196]

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!

[@junior-pv9yk]

My clearcoat is peeling too 😂😂

[@whatsupryan]

I feel that I have an 01 zinc yellow Saleen and the peeling clear coat is killing me

[@selectyourtools]

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!!!

[@zeeelander]

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.

[@pchappy2.0]

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!

[@iworkhard2013]

How’s the restoration going? If you can post your progress. My father gifted me his Mystichrome 04 terminator. Needs just a little work on it as well.

[@pchappy2.0]

@@iworkhard2013 man I would love to get ahold of a Mystichrome, they are my fav. I had an 04 Screaming Yellow convertible Terminator a while back, loved it. Unfortunately not a lot of progress on my side to update on. I got an SLP Loudmouth 2 catback installed, gathered the Hurst shifter/bar/knob, and have some small items like new LED interior lights and dash face, but that is about it. We just found out we are going to have a baby so all mods are on hold for the time being.

[@knight838_]

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

[@HAL-dm1eh]

Nice score. Competition Orange looks really great on these cars. I just got a V6 too (what I wanted) but it's a faded Laser Red, best red Ford used by also the most faded and can't really be duplicated unless I want to spend $6000 and that ain't happening!

[@knight838_]

@@HAL-dm1eh I'm in the same boat with my orange. Faded and touchups ruined the original coat so it's going to be an expense but it'll be worth it.

[@Json.-]

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

[@steveengelking7998]

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

[@ErnieAcuna-w7b]

Yeah and access to a warehouse of parts. A 2v with under 50k miles can be had for well under 10k. I bought a 2003 GT for 8 grand with 43k miles. Original owner garaged. Navy Blue tan leather. The 2v is a solid motor. I drive them in taxi’s with 300k miles. It is what it is. Restoring these cars is not financially sound. A good paint job will be well above 8 grand

[@TDewar]

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.

[@ajdinhegic876]

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

Amazing work LMR ❤️

[@steveelrino1339]

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.

[@midnight347]

Dude u can make a new edge quick fairly easy. Just because it dont run 12s from the factory don't mean it can't go 11s or 12s with minor work even na. With boost you can go 10s stock driveline it's been done many times. The problem is everyone judges stuff by horsepower and not how it performs there is alot more to a quick car than how much hp does it have. I have seen new edges go 10s with just over 400 rwhp. They weren't gutted either.

[@steveelrino1339]

[@sonnyzehm105]

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

[@bluebeastsrt]

She’s a beauty.

[@NascarXprt]

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

[@Athletesperformance1]

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

[@hunterlogan2913]

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

It's tough to gauge since we do not know the exact condition of the car. Completely respraying the car and updating the interior, wheels, suspension, and brakes can be very costly.

does new edge 3.7 supercharger fit on 3.8??????

There was never a 3.7L engine in the New Edge cars. Judging by the displacement, I think you're referring to the V6 engine. If so, 1994-2004 Mustangs had a 3.8L and 3.9L V6. Halfway through the 2004 model year, Ford added a little bit more stroke to achieve the 3.9L displacement. Other than that, the engines are identical. -Landan

IMO the rust under the battery tray isnt from a leaking battery, but rather poor engineering. Water gets in between the crack of the hood and the fender and just sits in the battery tray. I recently bought an 03 gt with the same issue. There was standing water in the tray, the hold down bolt was completely corroded and rust under the tray. I drilled a few small holes in the tray so it can drain, hopefully that fixes it.

[@midnight347]

This is totally false lol. A nice new edge goes for 10k easily it isn't anywhere near that for a trickflow top end. Just fbo cams and boost you're well over 400 rwhp. It isn't that hard to be quick with these people focus too much on power and not just performance. Power to weight and gearing and stuff is what matters. It's not just about power level. A boosted 2v done right will walk most ecoboosts. I've seen them go 10s with 400 rwhp.
