Lets see, bought a new Ford Racing 8.8 rear end with 3.55's along with a set of Moser axles to go with it...Got a Holley Systemax upper/lower intake to throw on my motor so it can breathe now...And recently I went out and bought an 86 GT and as most of you know I will be undergoing a motor/drivetrain swap and taking the best parts I got and putting them into the 86 GT. Also will be doing whole new exhaust to the car and its gonna sound nasty!!! SHOULD be ready to go by May 1st if everything goes as planned, wish me luck.
spit on it a few times as i walked by it to get in my daily driver. hahahaha, just kidding. new rotors/hubs, wheel bearings, calipers, thats about it as far as work thats been done so far.
and now im doing rear disc brakes, c-clip eliminators, 4 cylinder springs up front, 90/10 struts, 50/50 shocks, and a transmission within the next 2-3 weeks. i have everything but the 90/10s and the tranny.
I converted my 10" front brakes over to the 87-93--11" rotors. I used the 87-93 Spindles, New wheel bearings and seals, Installed Lincoln Mark VII 73mm front calipers and a 1985 Lincoln town car master cylinder with a 1" piston. Now the car stops alot better. I also installed new door and hatch weater-stripping. Had the rear end out and all apart to inspect the axles, gears, bearings, and the Locker unit. Readjusted the pinion angle. Going to change the intake manifold over to a Victor Jr. and maybe hit the chassis dyno again. If I have time. Next year I'll do the seats over and install a new carpet.

I sold my baby .. my 02 GT However I picked up a couple of 91 fox's to start my new project .. It's gonna be my low buck ... light weight... bottle rocket !
Technically I can consider CRASHING as something I did to it during the winter. So after that I bought all new parts (Fender, hood, door, rims) now just waiting on a body guy to make some little "body guy touches" that I cant do or wouldn't know how to do and paint :).
