Looking at the first pic, the gas pedal seems to sit rather high compared to the brake pedal. Normally the brake will sit about in the middle of the gas pedal. It appears like the gas pedal pivot is about in line with the centerline of the brake pedal, which would be normal and logical IF the pedal ...

Just an FYI, buying a used T5, especially out of a mustang, can be quite a gamble. I bought a "good, used" WC T5 from craigslist a couple of years ago for $250. The guy was hard up for money, and had just wrecked his Mustang. By the time I had it rebuilt, and had to source another case sin...
