Plans for this year are to install:
power passenger seat track
heated seats
backup sensors
sound deadening
upgraded speakers

With the suspension, brakes & tire upgrades my Mustang actually handles really good & stops way sooner than when I bought.
If I don't replace it in 2017 for a new Mustang or Camaro I'll probably be going with a twin turbo setup & installing a IRS.
My 1st car was a 1965 Mustang Conv which got a full resto-mod last year. Now it's powered by a 4.6L DOHC V8 and has a Jag IRS.

Looks like a mirror man! Great car!

As for the sound deadening, it is well worth it. The total job took me about 50 hours but it makes a huge difference. My car is BMW quiet. In traffic, and on the highway, it is so so quiet, I absolutely love it. I left the area around the center console, un-sound deadend so I could still hear the V8 roar. I still get the rumble which is nice. After reviewing all the products, I went with Second Skin audio's stuff. Feel free to look up my thread about it for me info.

My neighbors would tease about my driveway being a daily car show. I get random people that stop by with some really nice cars just to chat. When my 3 sons where in High School/College we all had our own project cars going on plus their friends would bring their cars over. For awhile it seemed like we are doing engine swap/rebuilds almost weekly.

In our spare time we would all go play on 2 wheels, including my wife.

Here's the bikes we had at the time.
