My car used to be kept at the dealership all the time and i could work on it all the time but it needed to be moved for insurance reasons. I keep it in a storage shed about 15 mins away so I have to load and unload every time i work on it. I could keep it outside in a lot at the dealership but I'd prefer not to keep it out. I'll ger her done

I chose them because they are right for my application and they were free.

Thought I should update this. The car is back at the body shop for them to finish up their end of it. When I get it back it will be lose the AOD for a TKO600. Driving to the Chicago area on Saturday to pick that up.

EDIT:I finally got around to putting this on Youtube. It is my car at idle. This was made the day after I actually got to fire it up, that is why the car looks incomplete. Exhaust setup is what I pulled from my donor car minus the stock manifolds. It consists of Mac unequal length headers, o/r h pipe and some mystery Flowmasters( I dont know what they are)

I thought it would be good to put some pictures up of my build. It was origionally a 2.3 4banger. I bought as my first car in H/S. Decided to fix her up and keep her after H/S. This is what I started with:






5 lug disc brakes






I'm gonna try and list what all I've done to it so here goes nothing.
gt front bumper with cobra extensions, with cobra grill insert
gt rear bumper with gt extensions
gt side skirts with gt extensions
smoke headlights and fog lights
2.5" Cobra R hood
gt spoiler
replaced hatch and right fender
hours and hours making body look good, black paint
rear seat delete
2001 gt wheels
5 lug conversion
disc brake conversion
3:73 gears
subframe connectors
interior is totally redone
added power seats, fog lights, electric mirrors to harness
1988 tilt steering wheel without cruise control
140mph speedo
new doors and hatch seals,
Engine Mods:
255lph fuel pump
24lb hr injectors
MAF conversion
EGR delete
electric fan
bored to 306
engine balanced
forged sealed power .30 over bore pistons
forged eagle rods (stock stroke)
e303 cam
GT40P heads
1.6:1 ford racing rockers
dual coil ford racing valve springs
hardened pushrods
GT40 intakes with TFS spacer
MAC 1 5/8" headers
BBK CAI
70MM throttle body
73MM C&L MAF
UD pullies
130 amp alternator conversion
Stuff that needs to be done:
TKO 600
PRO 5.0 Shifter
Steeda Superlite springs
UPR k member kit w/ coilovers
I have this stuff but I cant put it on until after my sister gets married on the 21st. they wanna use it to drive away in at the wedding
Need to buy yet:
caster camber plates
Steeda control arms
Mac Pro Dumps
