Other than a 134a conversion mines ready.

mustangjoe87 · Apr 8, 2008

HAHA thats a funny question, I honestly havent seen mine since Oct/Nov and its only stored a few miles from my house. Damn home renovations.

foxmustangman · Apr 8, 2008

I need new sparks. Maybe some wires to go along with those too. I'm also saving up to buy new heads and roller rockers. then I'll be finished!!!

Yeah right.

My car's ready for summer all year long. We only have two seasons here: HOT and Not So Hot.

mine's definitely not. i'm in the middle of upgrading my suspension right now. i've got all the rear stuff in, i just haven't had time to tackle the front struts and springs, c/c plates and sway bar bushings and endlinks. my pass. quarter panel is still in primer along with the spoiler and half of the hatch...the other half is blue. the rear bumper is still unpainted as well. i still need to order new cobra side skirts and install my cobra grill insert as well as body work the rest of the car before i can paint her. i was waiting til it warmed up to finish all that anyway. i need a new alternator, my 3g is only putting out 82a max. i still need to paint 3 wheels. the back half of my interior is still torn out as i'm still waiting to put my torque box reinforcements in. i need to replace my rear diff. cover and change the fluid still, and i'm just now about to pick up some heads and a cam. so yeah, i still have some work ahead of me. lol

No.

Still need to install the heads and cam. Still need to wire up the Mark VIII van. Still need to finish restoring my new doors and get them on. Still need to make my custom engine harness.

I might be ready for next summer.

i got mine running this past weekend. but the core plugs on the block started leaking, they rusted through. i also got my tweecer this week so once i get the leak fixed i plan to tune the car and flog on the car and get her to run fast.

curtisboyte · Apr 8, 2008

i just ordered carpet, new door panels, seats, weatherstripping all the way around and upgrading the brakes to 87-93 and a Eastwood powder coating gun. I got a lot to do. It is kind of depressing.

That's almost exactly the same list of wants/needs for my 'vert ... except add lower ball joints to there.

My starter hasn't crapped out, but it has always made a God-awful loud noise when cranking that sounds like the starter of the prop engine on a B-17 bomber or something - always scares people walking by in parking lots.

89CobraGT · Apr 8, 2008

Not yet...
1. Pariot heads
2. 1.6 Scorpion Roller Rockers
3. Polyurathane engine and transimssion mounts

Na, not quite yet. Items on the list to be installed are:

-3G alternator
-Wheels and tires
-Front pads and rotors
-Re-tint hatch glass
-Fix surging idle :mad:

I know I got other small things, just can't remember them right now.

90_Red_LX · Apr 8, 2008

Working two jobs to fund the damn thing so time is limited and the only thing left in the t5 is a bearing race. The mainshaft is assembled though at least minus a pin lol. She'll be driveable then but shes in dire need of a 3g alt swap, electric fan, and subframe connectors.
