Hi from Kent, my Mustang should soon be here

[Adester]

Just had a call from Haynes. My Mustang is now on these shores & heading to the dealership. Because of work/life commitments, I can't see her until next Wednesday. I've requested that all the wrappings are left on & she's not cleaned at all. I want to see her just as she is & take the wrappings off myself.

Haynes really have been good so far; I've been assured that no one will touch her until I get there next week - I do hope so. I'll get them to fit the Stow 'N' Show plate holder first & I'll see how I get on with the original clutch spring, then decide if I want to change to the Steeda one which I've already got.

Getting really excited now & a little nervous as well. Must be patient!

I remember that day! The good thing is it'll never get boring walking up to it and opening the door.

Take the number plate brackets away, just to mitigate...........

[MENTION=30432]Adester[/MENTION] Adrian, PM me if you'd like to know how my Haynes pickup experience went four weeks ago, mostly good but a few issues to look out for!

Hi there,

Just got back from Haynes after having my first look at our LB Mustang GT & I love it!

Haynes are happy to fit my Stow & Show for no extra cost & I've taken the number plate mountings away with me so they can't be fitted (thanks @LoneSurvivor for the tip). I've also taken the window sticker as well as the delivery printouts from inside the car. She's got 32 dlivery miles on her & I'm told this shouldn't increase as the est of the PDI / valeting processes should all now happen on-site.

I specifically requested they have it delivered with all the protective wrappings on so I could see it in its raw state, prior to any prep work. I've allowed them to valet it, which will happen next week, but asked them to take care.

Due to pick her up on Saturday 17th June. Here's a couple of pictures of her in the flesh.

Thanks for the tips on the check list, I can't check the paint yet but will do before handing over the money.

Sorry for the size of the pictures, if they appear a bit big, I'll try harder next time!

Cheers,

Adrian

Oh, the white interior, haven't seen a car yet with white inside as yet in person, only ebony and saddle.

32 delivery miles sounds quite a bit as well and it doesn't look like the dealership have done any with all the coverings still on, wonder why it's high. Mine was 17 miles and the 17th June won't come soon enough, it'll be like Christmas morning :clap2:

:lol: just spotted the "do not touch or clean this car" sign! Great work...

She looks beautiful by the way, great choice :cheers:

Very nice indeed, congrats and enjoy.

Thanks for the comments guys, we'll see how the handover goes & whether they fit the 'Stow & Show' correctly!

Congrats and good luck!... the LB is a stunner in real life... saw quite a few on the lots of the Ford dealers in the US recently and photos just don't do that colour justice (always seems to 'wash-out' in front of a camera).

we'll see how the handover goes & whether they fit the 'Stow & Show' correctly!

...And if they can't fit a 'Sto-n-Sho' correctly I'd be REALLY worried :headbonk: !

Get the spacers, exhaust and stripes on it ASAP !
