Alright, I'v made some decent progress on my car, but I have not really had the time (or motivation :rolleyes:) to post progress.

1995 Mustang GTS. Plans include A full 03 IRS swap with FTBR bushings/toe links/ect, On3 turbo setup (with supporting fuel mods of course). MM k member and front end components, g-force t-5, And misc. cosmetic garbage that I keep changing my mind on every five seconds.

FIRST UP! was getting this chunk of iron out.

Is this bad? Before and after my awesome repair. :grin: what you CAN'T see is the crap load of mess that was INSIDE the frame rail. I had to rebuild my own crush tubes for the K member bolts, weld them to a plate, then box it all in. Needless to say I kinda overbuild the sh1t out of it.

Fixed a rot hole in the engine bay. I DID grind it smooth and fill it into the bay so It looks natural.

This is POR-15, topcoated with blackcote, then cleared.

Not worrthhyyyyy! Awesome! On that note, Orange you do have IRS correct? what did you do for brake lines? Did you just take the "T" line off the stock cobra irs and re-use it?

Nope, not me.

I could swear... It also kinda looks like pic of your car in your sig has some camber out back, Just wondering.

Just build your own lines from the t. It's not hard at all.

Well, I need rubber line to run down the control arms... so Id probably have to get oem lines? Just so they are the right length?

Great state of TEXAS
the fitting you find at the autoparts.. Even the stock irs hoses are not going to have the t fitting.. The 95 splits right diwn the middle there is a hose with a t fitting. You can just split off that. Just secure the rubber hose..

I have a quarter inch of clearance between the tire and the wheelhouse, I could notch the wheel well and add a few bumpsteer shims and go a lil lower... :shocked:
I'll work out stance when the car is on its wheels and I have the cosmetic stuff I want but It will be interesting!
