I think walking away is the right thing to do. You can't guarantee the quality of the repair job, and once you drive it off the lot - the car is yours for better or worse. Had I known of the issues on my Bullit I would never have accepted the car. In addition to the door jamb issues I reported...

Bump! Original price with import duties £400, yours for £150 (reduced)! Can ship to UK addresses, PM if interested.

With all the interest here - it sounds like Pete should name a package price and delivery time and start scheduling the work flow?! Any idea if they will pursue this end of the market?

Yes that was how I approached it. I called A-plan, said the cost was too much, and then went down the list of things 'how can we reduce the premium'. So 6000 miles a year down to the minimum 1000. Value of car reduced to market value from the brand new price I insured it for last December. I was...

Renewed my insurance for the Bullitt. Used money supermarket.com to reduce my premium from £553 (A-plan Thatcham) to £240 (General Accident/Aviva). It's proof I don't understand the insurance market at all. In the process of getting quotes from A-plan, reducing the mileage per year from 6000 to...

So assume you start with a wrecked GT350 - this would be a good candidate: https://www.copart.com/lot/31440120 Assume it sells for the current bid of $20800. The calculation looks like this: 20800 $ Bid wrecked GT350 2080 10% import tax UK 4160 20% VAT UK 27040 Total USD 21091 Total £ for...

I'm thinking hard about it! There's a breaker in the states called 'the parts farm' that specialise in Mustangs and have numerous wrecked GT350's. Engine, transmission, dash and all ECU's from LHD GT350 for $17.5K (22K miles, running 'crank a pallet'), rear end ca. $500, 4 wheel GT350 brakes...

I don't have the checklist, but happy to share my experience. 2020 Bullitt delivered Dec 2019. Door jambs and interior door (hinge side) showing primer through on both drivers and passenger side. Lift the rear boot lid and again primer showing through especially towards the top (rear most) end...

OK to be devils advocate - how about starting with an UK spec RHD S550 Mustang. Transplant the GT350 engine, gearbox, brakes, front & rear suspension, diff included, as well as the front fenders, valance etc. Leave the original wiring harness in place, simply replace all the control units from a...

Here's another idea to think about - Make a Shelby GT350 clone. Start with a RHD UK spec Mustang. Buy a wrecked Shelby and salvage the engine, trans, brakes and rear end, as well as bodywork/trim pieces. Go to: https://thepartsfarm.com they are always getting Voodoo engines in, gearboxes...

I like the idea of it. Start searching copart.co.uk for something like this: https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/28212600 All the bits needed are there, as long as you have the GT350 to start with..

@Voo Doo; thanks for the pics, that certainly helps!

Re: live with it or get it fixed.. I think now that I've seen it, it will make me crazy every time I open the door. So it's noticeable and guilty as charged it took me 6 months to be able to see it. The cars not a daily driver, in the UK the weather has just started to improve, and the cars...

Thanks all for the feedback! If anyone cares to post a photo or two of properly painted door sills that would be great, further support for the discussion to come. What looks like rust in the photos is simply bits of fallen leaf, and there are water drops visible as I had just finished washing...

You might want to add: Check that the door sills and jams are painted properly, no primer showing through. See these photos..

@Elp_jc; thanks for the feedback. I'm as anal as anyone, I guess I was temporarily blinded with excitement when going to inspect the car at the dealer as neither I nor my two car detailer guys who came with me spotted it. Didn't open the doors I guess! In all the 'what to inspect' / dealer PDI...

Good question. I just hope the dealer agrees this is a quality issue and addresses it!

I just washed my 2020 Bullitt for the first time and found the door sills are not painted properly. There is a green to gray fade, as you sight forward of the black door sill cover. See the photos attached. Has anyone else seen these issues? Thanks for the feedback!

Did they give you any idea of the production date or estimated delivery date?
