Some pics of my junk

I recently installed manual brakes, Strange 33 spline spool and axles w/ c-clip eliminators, 4.56 gears, Lakewood rear shocks, rear springs - 1-7/8 coils, front 4 cyl springs - 1 coil, M/T 275/60-15 DR's, swapped T5, and a PIP to get it going again.

Anyway, I put some pics in photobucket and thought I would share.  What do you think?

How are the manual brakes working? The master cylinder is from a mustang right? How is the pedal feel?  Car looks real nice good job!!

Thank you.
The brakes work very well.  They do require more effort and the pedal feel is what you would expect,  more effort = more braking,  very consistent.  The m/c is a 80 Mustang manual unit and I put a Summit adjustable proportioning valve in place of the stock one.

, I never realized how empty a spool leaves your diff housing.  That must be interesting going around hard turns.  And forgive me for sounding stupid, but it does look like there's an additional mounting hole for the rear lower control arm.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Ifixyawata, There are 3 mounting holes for the LCA's now.  I drilled one in the center of the 2 you see.  You can read more about it here.

Fila,  So far I've only been on the street.  I feel confident in them for street driving, but you have to remember they are manual and apply foot pressure accordingly.  There is no way I could lock the tires up with all my 170#s and in other than emergency braking they stop in the same distance as you would comfortably with power assisted.  Also, I don't reach for the pedal any sooner than I normally would.

You need to be sold on getting the car legal before you mod it more
It's Gumby's fault.
