Chassis guys and paint shops that are reputable can pretty much name their price and time frame.

For sorting out the wiring just buy the helm inc wiring and vacuum diagram book for your year car.
I think they are only like $15. Much better than going online a million times trying to figure out the wires.
They are the real ford books they dealers had.

funny thing is i talked to the best in the area and hes only like 2 grand higher for me to drop it off cut a check and come pick it up when its done. these guys want stupid money to use my supplied parts

This is my opportunity to request no-chit, real first impressions of the NVH after a swap... Wait, never mind:


I saw a dog, snow, some girl's feet, some more dogs, some more snow, then a piston rod.

I've been sticking all of these images into one of those little flip-books, ya know?

Now there's some coil-over in the last frame. I'm on the edge of my seat!

Do the dogs fetch the coil-over next? Which one's faster? That girl is going to need better shoes if she wants to keep up with the dogs in the snow.
 
haha i will get some more pictures of all the parts here soon... i have **** EVERYWHERE
Me too . No wonder my ex couldn't stand me and we broke up . Parts behind the couch in my old apt . Blower under the computer desk . I had stuff stashed everywhere .

nothing major but the wire i ordered showed up. and i ordered the gang bars i needed today.

i started cutting the plugs off the dash harness so i can figure out the ones i need for the tail lights and such. i think i found most of the wires i need. so once its all out i'll take pictures of the plugs and which wires anyone who wants to do it needs to keep

yes and no...
the X car still takes most of my time. but there just isnt as many races local for it any more so i have a bit more time there. that and i know going in its going to take a very long time to do this.

so i still dont have tons of free time. but more than i use too, and a better outlook on the time to do it. im in no rush at this point. my goal is have the chassis and the most of the wiring done by the end of the year
