what i did this weekend

UPDATE:

not completely sure whats going on with the engine yet, i may be getting it, i may not.

regardless, the transmission and rear end are probably going in this weekend. I have since installed a BBK in fender CAI, MSD cap and rotor and Ford Racing wires. all these made a HUGE difference in the performance of the car. it runs a lot smoother now as well. I also took some time today to give the engine bay a good cleaning:

Wait, what does this post mean? Are you trading in that piece of construction equipment (yer truck) for a passenger vehicle? :loopie:

HE ALREADY DID SO HAHAHHAA…BUT atleast this time he didnt make any polls // pie charts asking if he should do it or try to justify why he did so.

When you buy a Fox-Body, it instantly gives you the ability to make the right decision. All the time, and always at the right time.

I agree.

good buy man…

i am gonna get new headlights, 5.0 Resto has the whole set of 6 for $80 and at that price its not even worth my time to try and save the old ones.

oh, and i discovered that despite what the previous owner told me, the pinstripe is a decal not painted on. not too long after i discovered this, it was gone because i despised of it since day 1. car looks 46149846416476541549865416934585x better. pics coming.

i have a driveshaft safety loop and subframe connectors for this thing… 40 bucks and you can have em both :wink:
