Progress Thread 2000 4.6 GT build

So i guess Ill start a progress thread for my car. I picked it up as a single owner car with only 101k. With it being older the first thing I did was drop some money into changing every fluid it had.

12/18
flushing entire brake system, draining down each wheel till it runs clear, as I continuously add fluid to master, (sigh) but the new fluid blew the seal on the old master cylinder that had been running dirty too long. So new(reman) master cylinder, pain in the butt bench bleed lol and were off.

1/19
brakes pulling to left side, find caliper glide pin locked, grease it but to no avail, so new left front caliper

1/19
Can you guess what happened? no? the right caliper went out too so new reman right front caliper and bought new pads, and rotors since calipers were now new... YAY brakes

2/19
its second oil change and I decide to check the diff the fluid is old and cloudy, so i decide to drop the cover, drain, clean, new gasket and yay diff. while I was in there I decided to do a drain and refill on the transmission

3/19
wanted a new look so I bought some wheel paint and after a light sand and clean they have a whole new look

5/19
just installed a set of koni orange rear shocks and apparently my old ones were so blown that it actually picked my rear ended up a little

wow havent touched this in awhile.... work hours started to pick up then got crazy

so since then I installed a set of koni front struts, sr lowering springs for a 1.5in drop-just enough to not have to buy a bumper steer kit or caster/camber plates lol
nothing much else mechanical just alot of detail and cleaning. did a clay bar a few times, couple of waxes, interior carpet cleaning, leather reconditioning. I love the BAB color now that its all cleaned and smooth paint looking all proper. I'll still need to get the paint redone at some point because there are certain neglected spots but thats after all of the fun mods are done first. Still plan on keeping an NA car though
