Figured I'd finally make a build thread, even though it's going to be a lengthy process for a full build, but I'm in it for the long haul. Gonna just bring it all up to date.
1998 Saleen bone stock, nothing had ever been maintenanced. Bought from a guy in Iowa last May with 129k miles. All bushings in the suspension were shot along with the shocks and struts all blown, and a TOB making a bunch of chirping sounds.
On the Ride Home with it!!
First round of mods/repairs...
Bilstein shocks and struts, MM adjustable LCA's, UPR uppers, prothane bushings in the a arms, endlinks and sway bar bushings and dear diff housing, Ford Racing clutch kit and a upr o/r x pipe.
Decided I wanted to throw on some longtubes so I sold the upr x and picked up a set of ARH longtubes with a o/r x
Around same time I picked up a set of Bullitt brakes and had the windows tinted 20%
For Christmas my wife got me a set of bullitt pedals and a new Ford racing shift knob.
She also got me a new Ford Racing PI intake manifold and trickflow 75mm tb and upper plenum. I'm currently waiting on my gaskets to come in from tousley, so this is where I stand today.
Sold the rear 285's in favor of a set of 305's which I will pick up before the car comes back out when it warms up again!
Hope to have new updates sooner than later!
