Well, after 28 years of owning this car I finally performed the ever popular 5 lug/brake upgrade. I used standard SN95 stuff but WOW it sure does drive and stop nice!!!
We also installed a new steering rack because my original one was leaking. While we were under there I also upgraded to Maximum Motorsports rear adjustable HD control arms and Jegs upgraded but still 28 spline rear axles.
I picked up these used SVT Cobra Anniversay's a couple months ago cheap and refinished them. They really add a nice touch I think!

Just got it home, still gotta clean it up.

Excellent choice with the 10th anniversary wheels! I think they really compliment the tail lights.

Thanks, I think so too. My car originally came equipped with the famous Turbine wheels.

I call these new and improved, modern Turbines. LOL
