Default Next Mod Suggestions?

Just lookin for some advice on what to do next -- I have an 89 GT -- Here's what I did so far -

BBK equal lengths
Custom made X pipe
FlowmasterSuper 44's dumped
Ebay CAI
Ford Racing 9mm Wires
Replaced Dist cap and rotor

I'm going to be putting in an Electric fan this weekend and getting rid of all the AC and Heating components
The car won't be a daily driver, but will be driven somewhat regularly- especially during the summer -- Garage kept over the Winter --I do have some money to burn, but obviously want to do things as cheaply and efficiently as possible -- Labor will all be free so my only expenses will be parts, just wanted to know what direction some of you guys think I should go in, cause I don't know that much about it -- Thanks

Gears, suspension. What are your ultimate plans for the car?

seems like you have nailed the basics, from experience i would do suspention components. upper and lower contol arms and springs (get springs that will fit how the car will be used ie drag car, DD and such) also get a pair of sub frame conn. all that stuff i said is fairly inexpensive compared to exhaust and engine mods.

Yeah I was leaning towards gears, but wasn't sure. My plans are to keep it as a somewhat daily driver during the summer -- Go to some car shows -- I'm redoing the interior and exterior -- I'm not planning on racing it -- but I would like to make it as mean as possible

The best advice, be sure the direction you want to go. I started out w/ one thing in mind. Then as time progressed, I wanted something else. I ended up replacing some of the things twice b/c of it. Tryin to save ya a lil money.

SUBFRAME CONNECTORS!!!!

UPR makes a great set
