Hey all,
Over the last couple of weeks I've been ordering / stockpiling / stripping parts off my old wrecked 5.0 (rear-ended by an old lady)
my loot pile:
The car as it sits now:
donor car:
I'm swapping the stock AOD out for a t5 w/ pro-5.0 shifter, centerforce dual friction clutch, HD steel ford throwout bearing, ford HD steel throwout bearing retainer, FMS-M-7600-A roller pilot bearing (couldn't find an HD version of this? could somebody clue me in on whether this is right or not?) -- and to top it off, a black fatknobs shiftknob.
also trying to score an aluminum driveshaft off a 92-97 awd ford aerostar van, but none of the boneyards around here have any.
For the interior, I'm going to use as many of the non-worn parts as possible from the wrecked car. Just got a mint set of door panels, center console and some cool door arms with UPR metal insert for windows and locks from a friend of mine. He is going to provide me with a lot of aluminum / billet accents for the interior.
Here are the SPR satin aluminum pedals that I am going to put in. In hindsight, I think they are going to be a bitch to keep clean......
I also ordered some blue WLED-x6's to illuminate the dash, don't know how they're going to look with the white-face guages.
Here's a pic of the car when I got it, after installing the knockoff 03 cobras (yeah i know, 4 lug.) -- The hood (with ugly hood scoop) is going to be swapped out with a stocker pretty soon.
And here's a link to the flickr photostream in case you want to check out pics of the wrecked LX.
