Got the drivers side skirt on last night for a local cruise in. Also just stuck my head unit in the dash to fill the hole up. Dont mind the missing kick panels, a pillar covers and sill plates as I'm waiting to get some clips and locate a drivers side 79-86 a pillar cover to run for the time being til I fab some custom peices. I also need to get a switch plate for the drivers side arm rest.
This thing is a blast to drive. I love the 4.10's and the Z Spec trans. The steering is super tight with the 98 rack and MM steering shaft. The brakes are surprisingly good too. And t-tops are the ****! Here's a couple pics for you guys.

The car looks great. Im not a fan of the black wheels on it though. It needs some shiny wheels to set it off imo.

Looks great...if it where me the first thing i'd do is put a black radiator hose on it and some red plug wires...they stick out like a sore thumb especially the hose, and i think red wires would tie into the strip and MSD stuff better than blue. It's the little things that make the big difference.

Lol I love the stance, eibach drags with a coil cut in the front. I'm not a coilover kinda guy haha. thanks for the comments. I'm gonna change out the hoses at some point. The wires are def gonna be red but my MSD wires took a **** and I had these so I threw em on. The hoses are def gonna be changed at somepoint too. And yea its weird with that dash but its just weird driving the car in general haha.

I was always a critic of those interiors until i drove a '94 GT. I could definitely live with it but i could never swap one into my coupe...it just wouldn't suit the car. I will someday own a '95 Cobra though.

Thanks for the comments, Im havin an issue with her tho. Starts and runs fine when cold. Once its hot, it doesn't want to start. Just changed the coolant temp sensor that talks to the computer and still no go. Its pretty annoying cause otherwise the thing is great so far. Took it for a nice long cruise with my buddy friday night and didn't have any issues except for that and my trans popping out of 2nd (my stubborness when I rebuilt it).

Gotta have the tach, the stock tach is so slow. And the tach looks huge in the pictures but isn't that bad in person. I like it.
