It's been alot of fun working together on the car.The Mustang was found locally on AutoTrader near Lancaster, PA. The windshield was cracked, 4th gear was gone, the exhaust was failing, two tires were getting thin, and there were signs of prior body damage having been repaired. So we picked it up for a decent price in September 2010. I had the windshield replaced, and bought two new tires so it would pass inspection. Jack and I drove to North Carolina and back in one day to pick up a 8.8" with 3.90:1 gears and t-lok for sale from a member I knew from several forums. That turned into a bigger project than expected because the LCA rear bolt on the driver's side wouldn't come out. So we got new LCA's from MM. We picked up a slightly used set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs from a different member, and have just now installed Tokico D-spec shocks/struts. The S197 Bullitts/Pirellis were found locally on CL for $100, being listed by a member on one of the forums, too. We had duals cut into the factory y-pipe after the cats, and run with a h-pipe to dual Thrush Welded Series mufflers that end at the bumper. We had the trans rebuilt locally (I didn't want to tackle that myself), and had the shop install a Ram HDX clutch at the same time. Jack used his money to buy a Cervini's Cobra R hood and a Cobra bumper, and we had the car repainted in the factory #FU Dark Satin Green Metallic.The car isn't done. We picked up heads and intakes for a split-port/Windstar swap. I may be picking up a spare split-port 3.8L and stashing that away for future consideration.</blockquote>
