Thanks to ram360 I received a black cobra front bumper, front bender, a pillar trim, and front rocker moldings. Hope to have some pictures up soon of the car back together!

I can't decide still. Initial plan was to leave black and keep it a very cheap project and just daily drive it and enjoy it. But, Since I do paint and body work and already have everything to do it, all Id be out money wise for a color change is the paint. Which is expensive and keeps going up. I already have enough Dupont Chroma-base to paint it black. Maybe Ill just stick with black.

Since you have it already makes sense to me. Slick black paint always looks good. Plus it gets you on the road w/ less work. Gets my vote.

got those flowmasters put on tonight. I'm still using the stock midpipe with cats, but it still sound really good. Its very deep and way louder than those stock mufflers. Hoping to get an o/r H soon to let it breath better, and sound better.

I love the sound of FM's.

no tips. Just flows dumped for now. Got the front end all put back on with new lights and header panel. Now my only issue is the drivers front wheels is not centered in the fender opening. Something is not right. It got hit on the drivers front corner. My first thought was either the crossmember got bent, or the structure behind it got bent. Nothing. Everything measures out just fine. It does how ever have a bent tie rod. Maybe that'll make the wheel go back that far.

So far:
Paid $1,000 for the car
lights: $120 for the whole new set
hood: $100 craigslist
bumper
fender
sailpanel
rocker $330(from ram360)

total: $550 invested in parts to get it together. I also bough a set of flowmasters from ram360 but I am not including that in the price since its not vital to getting the car going. Just something I wanted.

I'd like to get a different spoiler for it. Not sure what kind yet. A car used to run around local that had what I believe is a steeda spoiler that has the aluminum ends. I thought it looked ricey when I first say it, but it grew on me. Might look into one.

that would be a Steeda Race wing. it's about $300 beans +$100 for the ends. I'm wanting to get one too. But I'll make my own winglets.

wow more pricey that I expected. Does it mount in the stock holes? If so I may just use what I have until I decide to buy a different one and just paint it then

Nice to see you on here Jared. Get to watch the progress on here, hopefully get to see it in person when its done. You've done a great job with it so far. How did I know exhaust would be your first non-essential mod :p.

If you need any help with it let me know. I'll do what I can, I believe you have my number, if not hit me up on facebook.

Hey kevin! I haven't worked on the mustang in a while. After I got all the body put back together I found out the driver side front wheel was not centered in the wheel well, but the passenger side was. I finally got it in the shop a minute ago and it appears the drivers front spindle is bent. After a couple calls I found out that you cannot buy this part aftermarket from oriellys and places like that. Its a 94-95 specific part. Lucky me. Looks like I'll be making yet another trip to Missouri Mustangs salvage haha

I was just there today! Sorry to hear about the hard to find part. Mine is a '94 as well so I know how the year specific parts story goes. It looks good though! can't wait to see it done. We'll have to meet up sometime after you finish it.
