EDIT: as of 4/14/2010, I decided to jump on the bandwagon & get a progress thread started. Rather than starting a new thread, I just had the mods change the title of my 5 lug swap thread to "EPIK's official progress thread"...
As some of u know, I have been working on putting together a 5 lug swap on my 91 Notchback. I tried to somewhat achieve this on a budget, but things have quickly snowballed into a very costly venture (typical of most of my mods)...I am still compiling a few of the parts & I should be done with this swap soon, but I will update this as I go, up until I finish....
Here is my list of current parts I already have...
-Deep Dish 10th anniversary Cobra Replica wheels=$540
-94-95 Mustang spindles=$100 (used @ the wrecking yard)
-94-04 Cobra calipers & pads=$250
-94-04 Cobra brake lines=$40
-13 Cobra rotors=FREE (used stock 30k mile rotors from my Mach which I replaced with slotted)
-New SN95 balljoints=$92
-New tie rods=$37
-255/40/17 BFG G force KDW2 tires (2)=$200 (near knew from a buddy of mine) I will reuse my 275/40/17 rear tires from my 4 lug wheels
-Ranger 5 lug axles & drums=$100
-Rear Fender rolling procedure=$200
-3.73 gears=$75 (used from a buddy)
-Bilstein shocks & struts=$500 (leftover from my old 95 GT)
Parts I will purchase this week....
-Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates=$170
-Ratech gear install kit (wheel bearings, shims, etc)=$109
-weatherhead brake fitting adapter=$8.99
So far that is a total of roughly $2,422 ..So much for a budget swap!!!
Here are a few pics of the progress in my compiling of parts....
Deep dish 10th anniversary Cobra replica wheels....
Cobra calipers. These came black, but I painted them with red Duplicolor caliper spray paint & then sanded the paint off of the Cobra lettering...Looks just as good as the 10th anniversary calipers....
Caliper brackets after I painted them semi gloss black...
Used 94-95 spindles & hubs. Still need to clean these up & paint em...
New SN95 ball joints & Fox tie rods...Figured I might as well do em' since Im in there & my chassis has 172k miles & who knows if the previous owners ever changed em....
Bilstein HD shocks & struts....
Ranger 5 lug axles....
Ranger 5 lug drums Freshly painted with Duplicolor semi gloss black High temp engine paint...Yes I know discs are better & it will have them one day...
FRPP 3.73 gears...
Fenders getting rolled....
Final results of the fender rolling....
Stay tuned ladies & gents....
