    Progress Thread 1990 Lx 5.0 Dark Titanium "one Last Ride"

    Finally coming together interior-wise. I really wanted to prep some interior parts to paint but it was hot and humid all weekend. So yeah, not good painting weather. Finished installing sound deadener. I had a box recommended on here from Amazon View...

    I'm Back Into The Mustang Scene With A Rescue Project.

    Suspension: I'm with karthief that I would replace the BJ's and bushings myself, but if you don't have access to a press and some air tools, it may be worth just buying the whole new arms with new bushing and ball joints already installed. They can be a huge PITA even with the right tools...

    Confirmed last night it does have 3.73's and extra set of clutch packs. That will save me rebuilding assuming no noise, etc. it was leaking out of the the rear diff is why I pulled the cover. Cleaned up rear and cover with more POR15 and refilled. Hoping no leaks so I can eventually park a car...

    Thank brother! What's a good recommendation for outside mirror paint color in spray bomb? I restore 90's pinball machines (my own) and use a lot of Rust-Oleum semi-gloss black ultra over 2X for a lot of that stuff so have it around. Close match?

    Short video of it running with the exhaust finally buttoned down and finished. Mac 2.5" cat back, Pro Chamber, and BBK equal Lengths. Video was before the driver hinge bushings replaced/door adjusted. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8mCVVbv5L0

    A lot of progress over the past few days and the week although nothing really cool in pictures to share. Things done: · New front (unfortunately still 4 lug) brakes, pads, rotors with MM ss caliper sleeves. · POR15’d the passenger floor. · Removed original sound...

    Progress Thread Down For A Decade - Got The Job!

    No problem; figured it was worth mentioning since I needed a new bracket anyway. Yes, it bolts right up. Way overpriced but it was right after deciding to buy a car and thinking that was really all I needed to have car ready to drive. I should have known better!

    Progress Thread Down For A Decade - Got The Job!

    I can't comment necessarily on the importance of the sway bar, but having a car that had accident damage I was aware of, the sway bar mount was all mangled. I got the (expensive) Steeda sway bar mounts which at least look better and could be painted to match engine compartment. Just an option...

    Thanks for the comparison! Ironically the ones I got from Carlisle last weekend were PDI from True Blue. I assume there is only one or two of the aftermarket companies making these. It would be nice if there was an option to buy better quality versions/American made for those that are willing...

    Fox 87-90 Fender Extensions

    I see LMR sells the 91-93 versions since most people want the bigger openings. I have a 90 that has the 91+ style and fenders for that reason. They got mine from a junk yard as where I did years ago. So I'd look or post around with a WTB. Surely there's some folks that have moved to the 91+...

    No clue why the pics are upside down. Old headliner's out. New arrived yesterday. Need to do some POR15 in some areas of the passenger floor before I put in the new carpet. It spent th past few days on and off in the sun. It does help but it rained and sun came out over 5 times today!

    Today was a heavy ordering day. Ordered new front struts since it still has the originals and it never got an alignment from years ago when we did the Bullitt springs. Ordered a new FMS clutch cable to replace whatever crappy one is in there, all the brake parts, and some new plug wires to go...

    Thanks guys! Spent a few hours last night fixing things I saw or couldn't get at the body shop. Sway bar end links installed, attached lower front bumper cover that wasn't ever bolted (Needed to get some clips and bolts), pulled the crappy mid pipe off, installed the used Pro Chamber, and...

    I was able to pick the car up Friday afternoon and bring it home. There's a ton of stuff to do just to get it inspected and ready for the road, but slowly picking away at a few things. I made a list Friday evening for Carlisle Saturday. Lots of good prices (At least for what I needed) on used...
