Default Going to the Pull-a-part

hey going to the local pull-a-part on thursday if the weather is good... gonna see if I can find me a '94-95 stang with the front suspension still on it...

anything else I should grab aside from the front spindles, and calipers? I may grab rotors if they are in good shape.. I may also grab parts of the rear brake assembly, not the axles because I'm planning on upgrading to 31spline stuff down the road... anything else I should grab? master cylinder/booster? I dont know how well that stuff holds up on a junker... brake fittings?

I'm prolly going to grab the parts, clean them up, paint them then box them up until I can afford all the stuff I need, wheels etc... I wanna do the axles, but I want to upgrade the gears, and while its apart I may as well put in stronger stuff, so that is why I am holding off....



EDIT!!! what tools should I bring to take the stuff off? like what size wrench, sockets, do I need torx bits for the calipers?

I would get a new master cylinder, I wouldn't trust a used one on a boneyard car

do a google search on junk yards in your area. it'll give you phone numbers and websites and you can see which are pick n pulls should be pretty common on the east coast.

don't need a tie rod seperator just a nice size hammer and know how to get it off, WAYYY easier than the tie rod separator. as far as i can remember you need a larger size(maybe 45) torx and a general socket set.
