I got the go ahead from the wife (lol) to start with the mods I want to do to my car. I am letting a few exterior small cosmetic issues go until I complete my first round of mods. I bought a new T-Lok last night on flea bay and am going to get the following:
4.10's
Edge converter---stall speed to be determined
Denny's driveshaft
Upgraded fuel pump

I figure I might as well do the pump at the same time. I'll see how Laser's computer reacts with the mods. I might have to get a programmer and a custom tune afterward. I figure it is time to give gramdpa some balls.
 
Vert:
Complete paint job
Complete interior
Synthetic oil change
Oil filter
Trans Flush
Coolant flush
check\inspect brakes
brake fluid flush
install oe radio
install new 20 spoke wheels and brand new tires
misc small things im sure ill run into

What id like to do:
Cobra brake conversion on the 96
new wheels for the 96
actually drive the 96 this year lol
 
cobra brake swap, hub swap, 98 Cobra wheels, t-lok, maybe gears... maybe, restored headlights, hopefully fixing the cruise and installing a factory cd player... ive already spent way too much this month on both of my cars....
 
Built trans with a reman torque converter (can't afford a quality stall and got the reman for free, so...)
 
Will have the J-mod done, along with full trans flush/service.
Tune
Should have the new wheels on, and sensor lowered.
Re-tint the car, since I don't like being in a fish bowl

Hopefully get bigger front and rear sway bars
Want to upgrade to Nav deck
Might throw on nitrous, have the full kit (full bottle), just need to install if I go that route.
 
I have also been debating getting rid of the Octastars, but they contribute to the sleeper look.
 
My motor will be pulled out all the way, and rebuilt, and tranny will be dropped out waiting to get rebuilt, all of dash removed
 
fix my miss on the pass.side....maybe put some mufflers on instead of straight pipes.
 
I hope to remove my steering column, dashboard, engine, trans, wiper motor, hood, trunk , bumpers, and other assorted little parts, and get it the heck out of my driveway.

Red Mark.:D
 
Hmmm...

Well I had TONS of plans LOL:)

Still on track:
Murder it out
New wheels
Full custom Air ride
Full Custom Stereo
Trans, Stall
Driveshaft
Rear Gears with Auburn Pro
Rebuild Front end
Kooks
Full exhaust
Tint
work out the bugs
Plan for the extreme stuff next year!!!
 
I have a lead on a drive shaft and fuel pump cheap. Hopefully it works out.
 
the 93 and 98 will be trading drive shafts

4.30s on the 98
different rear bags for the 93s fastbag setup

actually, that all depends on how my tax return works out
 
I'll be starting on my car :lol:

F'ing winter!

My plans are:

Get the '88 mustang on the ground and 5-lugged

Get the Mark Viii's doghouse replaced, find a 4.10 gear, rebuild my trac-lok and get it installed, and maybe put a bigger fuel pump in it. and MAYBE drag race it!

Get my MAF meter recalibrated for my '94 GT to run with the 24# injectors... and clean the hell out of it from its neglect!

Get my '77 Mustang II back home and tuck it away, or put it into a locked storage garage.

Collect more parts for my 460/5-speed swap into my coupe

Get new tires for the Ranger.






I'll be broke as a joke. :lol:


But like the man in black said... "I built it one peice at a time"
 
Attempting to replace headgaskets myself. If that works out attempting to install cams and a ported Cobra intake myself. New fuel pump.
