I see a lot of clip on wire connectors on that wiring harness. Did someone put in an aftermarket alarm or something at some point?

Seems so odd someone would Un-Saleen this car back to a standard GT.
Didn't Saleen use their own Caster / Camber plates? They changed the suspension back to stock? That red sway bar looks like an ADCO, Steeda and Saleen sold these.

I would bet some of the parts were either robbed by a shop or sold to pay for repairs or something like that, either way, I love that it's being restored.
Saleen did offer caster camber plates. However a lot of their cars still came with stock ones unless the person buying the car ordered them on there. This car does not list caster camber plates so it wasn’t optioned with them. It still has the racecraft red springs and struts/shocks. The sway bars are also Saleen equipped. This car also had a panhard bar, subframe connectors and a torque installed but not by Saleen

Yea. Aftermarket. Weird crap wiring for an auto. Lots of idiot stuff done but on my list. I’m just going new harness anyway
Yep. This one will be a corner car. The 94 Cobra is a straight line car. So it’s a good mix
Next step is to dump the cheap cowl hood somebody put on this car and get the hood it should have. Even though this car came from Saleen with a regular GT hood, I’m upgrading it to a Saleen Heat extractor hood which was the hood some 94-98 Saleens were optioned with.
Another Saleen piece this car didn’t originally come with but I’ve sourced a NOS one to go on the car. If your gonna build a vert, this tonneau cover is a must have. This car did come with the saleen light bar but I also have a SA-20 light bar which is shorter. Not decided which I’ll use on this car
I detailed how I restore plastics and such in my other build thread. I’m sure someone could link it for you faster than me. Or you could check that one out.
Worked in some much needed restoration of the gauges and Saleen ID plate. The ID plate is now buried in some good clear coat so it won’t do that again.
This was also a good opportunity to add the correct NOS Saleen Fuel and Boost gauges in the Saleen Leather pod. Another item not with this car but Im upgrading it with them.
What's up with the Muppet Green Mustang? Sorry to sidetrack again.
Edited to add that you have almost the exact same wedding ring as I do.

The guy who built my engines back in the day had a Mustang in the same Muppet Green. I believe it's actually Kawasaki Racing Green, or something like that. The car was in the February 2002 MM&FF. I have no problem with the color. That's how you get in Magazines, paint it Muppet Green, or Orange. I was just curious about the car.
