I've got the diff installed in mine,along with about everything else.It's the tranny I want to do now.Thanks for the motivation.The parts are pretty easy to find aon Ebay.The tranny is the expensive part that will hold me up.With a senior and a 6th grader,funds for the Sport are on the back burner when it comes to these kind of things.I'll start hunting and gather parts one piece at a time unless I find a good local parts Stang that would like to donate.Once the weather gets nice,I'll sell my extra parts to fund the project,plus,I have a great AOD with a shift kit to sell afterwards to help gain back a little cash.

Nice cutout.Is there another one for the other side?My lers have built in cutouts.They are the warlock lers.Nice peices,and when I uncork them,it really does surprise a few people.How big is that cutout?Looks pretty big in the picture.

Well, note to self, dont do that again lol

I bought some cheapo Flowtech headers # 12104

ooooh boy were they fun. Got muh springs installed, gotta drill holes for the o2's and run the exhaust to finish up the upper half of the car. I need to buy a set of chuckie motormounts, my driverside one went to hell. uhm i had so many problems with the headers, but they look sooooo nice tucked right under the car :D now the saga continues. After tomorow ill have the weekend to work on her. im hoping to have the axles and get the rear back where its sopposed to be.

goal for sunday is to hear it run. corked or uncorked either way.







oh yeah,  THAT STEERING SHAFT!!!!!!!!
