That's a wrap for the year. Changed the oil and stuffed the convertible in the corner of the garage for the season.
I did start picking up some parts for next spring. I want to address the rear suspension.
New rear axle bushings and Moog upper control arms. I'll likely pick up a set of MM Sport lower control arms. Also, discovered my limited slip is toast, so will be ordering up a kit to rebuild that in the spring. Should have done it now, but I wasn't prepared for it, and didn't want the car sitting right now.
Likely it for updates until early '25. Going to be wrenching on my Fox this winter.

Had to dig for this thread.
Couple updates.
--New rear upper control arms/axle bushings installed.
--Rebuild the differential clutches as I was suffering 1-wheel peel.
--Installed the 01+ hood scoop.
--Tinted windows.
Only about 72K miles on it now. I think i'd like to isntall the convertible light bar, but can't decide if i want to go parchment, or go with black. I have it in the back of my mind if i keep this car a few more years, i will change the top color to black as well.

Car is absolutely gorgeous tho!!!
Id say the black light bar is your best bet if you want to change the top color, but man......the car looks killer as is! If it were me, id keep the top and get a matching lightbar.....beautiful car!

Thank you!
The top color doesn't bother me that much because usually when I'm driving the car, it's down and under the boot.
I go so many different ways on the styling bar, which is why i haven't ordered one. I'm stuck between three colors. Parchment to match. 99-04 dark charcoal which would better match the boot color, or 94-98 black.
