That will be the best 6 hour return drive home ever!! I bought mine from Newcastle so will enjoy a 2 hour trip home. Same timeline - be at dealer tomorrow but he's going to try for Friday delivery so he can get his pre delivery guys to add some of my mods :) I'm not holding my breath though, Monday will be fine wth me too!
Yeah I've run the numbers and mine will be the 5th Grabber Blue GT Convertible in the country, so limited but not the only. It has been my favourite colour since 2010 when I saw it in the U.S. and changed my Race Red to Grabber as soon as the order books opened :)
Can't believe it's so close!!

The dealer is installing -

Roush Axle Back Exhaust - UPR Remote Catch Can - Black Pony & 5.0 Emblems - U.S Front Lower Grille - U.S. Decklid with Black GT Badge - Lakin US Style Number Plate Holder - Blingworks LED Exterior & Interior Lighting

Then I'm going to get over the next few weeks -

Loudz Creations DRL Tri-bar Modification - Black Stripes - Black Side Mirror Caps Black Tinted Tail lights & Side Reflector

Wheels are tba but leaning towards a 20 inch Velgen VMB9 style in black or gunmetal - need to see in person first. Also need to see some lowered convertibles before deciding what I'll do there but at least an inch will be on the cards - I have a driveway that tests the departure angle on my SUV at any speed so need to stay practical to some extent, which is so hard with a mustang hahaha :)

I would be interested to hear the rouch axle back as that was my original preference but I got worried it may be too loud. I am in the inner north shore, any chance you are in the area or around the CBD and I can get a listen when you have it installed?

It's definitely not too loud. Perfect cruising and probably the best sounding axle back system when you get on it. Nice and deep without much rasp - will be looking for excuses to cruise now so demo no probs!

Ha, not quite passed helping out. No updates for Parsifal - will send as soon as I get them, but I am going to the Grand Prix this weekend so might not be as efficient :cheers:
Remember, you're not allowed to stop helping til my pony arrives :lol:

My car is enroute to the dealer now - left about 5am so should be too far away from Newcastle now. Hey [MENTION=24455]Tango[/MENTION] - it has a magnetic fastback going to Taree on the same truck! I'm guessing your dealer should see it before Midday :headbang::clap2:

Got a text at 7:20am from the collective mustang network stating 3 car carriers full of mustangs were heading North.

A Grabber blue vert and a Fastback and of course Magnetic were on the vehicles.

As CEVA was showing my departure for the Port Mac destination being today and arriving today, I got excited, but when I refreshed CEVA after getting to work it showed that my car was no longer on the way to Port Mac but to the Port Kembla Vehicle Centre.

So f me if I know what is going on but I don't think my car has left Wollongong.

Doesn't matter as I can only pick up April 1 and that should be easy to hit.

Mine arrived at 11am this morning. No damage or issues, although I'll reserve my final judgement on that until tomorrow when I take delivery :)

My dealer knows I'm coming from Sydney with my exhaust and other bits and pieces so can only do Monday to Friday delivery for his PD team to fit parts so they've been getting it ready today and tomorrow morning so I'll be driving it back from Newcastle tomorrow arvo :headbang:

364 days after ordering, I don't think I'm going to sleep much tonight :D

Looks awesome Chris!

Congrats and drive it in good health.

Did you ask them to save the window sticker? Yours looks to be in better condition than many I have seen.
