I agree, with something rare like a roush i wouldn't change the induction system on it either. At most Spray. Can't wait to see some pics after you get her all straightened out

Got the oil & filter changed and the glass cleaned inside and out today.

I had to grab some 2x10 lumber scraps from the shed to even be able to get up on the ramps, heh.

I would pass on that mate. The price is fine but the OEM pads are crap IMHO. New pads is a perfect time for upgrading...... do you have Cobra rears? Whats on the front?
Anyway, get the EBC pads. I have them on my Cobra and the thing stops unbelievably well They make verry little dust too. Get the Greens or Reds. The Reds are much nicer but they make noise when the brakes are wet. Kinda like a big rigs brakes make. But when they are dry they are first rate. I just have them with slotted/drilled FRPP rotors and braided lines and my Cobra stops way better then my last few Cobras did

Cool.

I'm not sure what's on there...haven't scoped them out, nor done the research required to determine if Roush upgraded the calipers (front and/or rear) to know for sure. I'm going to guess the rear are OEM sized, but I can't be for certain.

You're correct, unless the previous owner upgraded to the ROUSH PBRs (2 piston variant) and there's no mistaking the 4 piston ALCONs up front.

I like the plan .... but a supercharger on a Stage 2 wouldn't be breaking new ground.
Good looking ride!!!

Thanks for the information, sir. Appreciate it. I'll have more details on this (brakes, upgrades, progress, etc) as the weather warms and the funds flow properly.

Yeah, my plan is to keep it simple. Make a nice cruiser / mild racer to enjoy with my family on occasion.

Thanks for the compliment. I can't wait to get it looking how I think it should. To the average person, it looks great. To me, I see lots more potential for how much sweeter it can be.

That, my friend, is because you are a Mustang nut. It's like a horse's ass but way cooler
I am sure when you are done it will be quite the specimen since your starting point is such a nice machine

That comes next. That piping (the outlets from the mufflers) will require replacement. I'll do that after the sand/salt is completely off the roadways.

The next big item after the exhaust will be rear tires. After that, it's just maintenance and cleaning to-dos.
