Paint Job...

But good one's start at around $1500 so that is out of the question for sure...

1,500. our 86 only costed us about 800 i believe after buying everything. we did it ourselves. were doing the same to the 83.

Doing anything to that car besides a V-8 swap is wasteful.

WHEELS.... If you can't have power, might as well have looks! Since your already getting paint and a top... Only thing left is the wheels!

get this into you head guys........

one day a V8 will go into in it after i show my dad i wont do anything stupid with what i got. and if that takes to long them ill blow the lil 3.8 up and say it overhated. when that days comes i want to have everything else i want done already. To where then my main focus can be the drivetrain. A 5.0 a t-5 and a 8.8 rear end.

for now since it cant go fast. it mise well look good.

Then why waste shocks and springs on a 6cyl when you will have to change them to swap it to V-8.

when my 3.8 gets pulled and 5.0 gose in...in no way is it coming in contact with the front shocks. The only difference is when its all said and done the front end will sit a little lower and have alot more power.

the drive train will happen one by one. a 5.0 first, read end, then a transmission.

i do not get what your saying with this.

no way you have the same car, Mine is a one of a kind

The rates for the shocks are different because of the different weights of the engine.

We have cut springs on two cars lately...owners were attempting to SEE how it would work before poping for the cash. The results were excellent..two coils front and one and a half back and the car sits (both cars actually) sit NICE and angry.

From this 4x4...just to show you an option.

RsStanG1987 · Nov 4, 2006

Im just saying if Ryan buys v-8 stuff for a v-6 its going to sit even more like a 4x4 before the swap..

grey5.0beast · Nov 4, 2006

Yeah, my eibach springs that I ain't putting on yet, so i'm playing with them are so stiff, they won't budge, even when I am oractically breaking my arms lol, so I say lowering springs, but if you get them now, you'll have to get v8 ones later, or it will sit high.

maybe ill do that. cost would be free. all it would take is a couple hours to get it where i wanted.

maybe ill go for a new head unit and just cut my springs?

ask for a new mustang

grey5.0beast · Nov 5, 2006

I would think if you are trying to make your car handle any better, probably needs it being a v6 vert, Cutting springs would barely make a difference, and probably handle a lil worse.

but if you just want it for looks and don't want to take turns fast, go for the HU and cut the springs. Personally, I think it would be fun as hell taking turns alot faster than I can now with some decent susp. stuff.

"C" Springs are specific rate...
"B" Springs are progressive rate...

B springs will be a much nicer ride....

FordRacingParts.com says you should get "F" Springs because it's a convertible.... But personally, I've never heard of them...

just a few thoughts...
