I'm pretty sure borbet are (or were) a very reputable OEM supplier to various German marques, similar to BBS.
Sold the Porsche, bought a Ford....

Looks like you have it in well in perspective so enjoy it!
Not massive on the wheels either, and hopefully the foggy headlamp plastic (or glass I don't know) can be cleared with a vent hole added? I've always wondered what an old school (classic) set of nice BBS 3pc rims would look like on a new stang.

That's what I like to see - a man with his priorities set straight - spending his money on a big car and making do with a small/cheap house 
You can always sleep in your car but you can't drive your house
Yeah - American built Fords really need to be garaged and driven regularly to prevent corrosion.

Borbet are good! Known in the VW circles, especially Borbet A's

Very little;
3x RFL @ £480 a year = £1.5k
1x Service = £500
2x 2 year warranty = £2.5k
2x MOT = £100
Misc work = £90
Depreciation = £6.5k
Plus fuel for 12k at 21mpg costing £1.40ish a litre.
So just over £11k for 3 years all in (minus fuel). The warranty did pay for itself in my ownership time and still had 15 months remaining which helped me get skiing price in the sale.
I expect the Mustang to be cheaper to run, but will spend about the same due to mods etc.

I was totally expecting a mondeo or fiesta xD damn nice car though OP!!! /jelly
to be fair, the black rims look pretty good on there. seen black on others and it just looks shocking but yours isn't a crime
and you knowwww you want a giant blower on that thing, not having one is a crime. get a plastic stick on one for the bonnet in the mean time hahaha!

Loads of people here run large engined cars as dailies. Ive done over 150k miles in 4 years in 3 different V8 powered cars.
Its not about balls, its about paying for the fuel

I know but some people buy cats just to look at in the garage and not actually drive.

Very nice, what suspension are you running and what interior spec did it come with?
Also have you checked who did the SVA conversion? The condonsation build up in the front light could be a sign of a poor job (hopefully not).

It's had some suspension work done, new polybushes and a few other bits I think.
Interior - erm it's pretty basic, lots of horrible plastic, a bit of silver trim, cruise, leather seats, air con, shaker 500. All pretty basic I think for the GT.
SVA conversion all checked out and was done to a high quality. The lights will be getting sorted and properly sealed when I get time.
Must take some better photos and a video or two in the next few days.

Good stuff, I know a lot of the earlier models had poor conversions with lots of inline bulbs wired in series to lower power. Expensive job to replace a fried ECU.

All the wiring looked fine and it's been passing MOT's for the past 7 years.
Just managed to get a second hand tuner and (I think) CAI, should help remove the throttle lag and give the car a bit of extra power!
