Gotcha. Well that's good then I guess. Did it come that way or did you take it off?

Well it looks like its going to happen this weekend. Gonna remove all the parts from my car thursday/ friday, do the trade saturday morning and then start on the conversion saturday night and finish it up on sunday.

Good luck man! Hope it all works put for you. Definitely plan ahead for extra time because I haven't really heard of anyone that didn't run into some sort of hitch in the install. Nothing ever big, but sometimes can be time consuming.

Awesome, can't wait to see ANOTHER person do the swap! Hope you've got alot of time set aside this weekend cause it's not a fast swap.

Funny I've got a fully loaded GT without ABS and Auto.

Well I spent the last 2 hours taking out the rear diff. It was alot easier then I expected. Hardest part was taking out the bolts for the driveshaft because they were so rusty. Tomorrow I just gotta take the exhaust, rear arms, and front springs out and itll be rady for the trade this weekend.

Well the drive to vegas was a success! Got home last night around 7:30 and got the front end together and got the abs sensors off of it sense I dont have ABS on my car. Now Im gonna go to a few parts places and try to find a few bolts to replace since theyre a little messed up. Then in goes the new rear end!!! Found only a few things i didnt like. Exhaust had a few dents in it, and the guy wasnt willing to trade the front springs because he didnt want an alignment. So if the front end sticks up more then the rear, ill be buying coilovers at then end of the week.

Gonna go MM with bilsteins up front?

Bpohlman13

No. I got some bilsteins off of an 04 cobra with about 15k. Not the best, but when the suspension gets redone, Ill go with diff ones.

Well I got it running. Runs pretty good! Didnt do anything crazy because my b rakes were a little softer then normal. So ill bleed the master cylinder and get it working again. Alot smoother ride though!!!
