well the last couple days i havent done anything. been lazy and run out of money for now. i still need at least a mini starter, 30lb injectors, zex nitrous kit, ford racing quadrant and adjustable cable, 225-40-17 tires for the front and 275 40 17 mickey drag radial for the rear,full sub frame connectors, and maybe a upr tubular k member with a arms and coil over conversion kit. here are the wheels that are going in. oh and a SSBC rear disc brake conversion. i need too many things not enough money.

this weekend im going to install the maximum motorsport caster camber plates,ford racing bullit pedals, and driveshaft loop. or as much as i can.
