Finally got around to a mod I had been wanting to do.  First, the tailights were taken completely apart and polished inside and out.  They came out fantastic!  Have a look...







Then we installed a sequential tailight kit...here's a video of it:



http://www.webelectricproducts.com/  That's where I got the kit from.  It went together so nicely; didn't have to run any extra wiring.  Just tapped into the existing harness with minimal cutting and splicing.  I definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to do this mod.  Doesn't take long at all.

No matter what I do to the Sport, the sequentials will always be my favorite part.

Where have you been, loser? Haven't seen you around in a long time. I've swapped intakes 7 or 8 times and valve covers 5 or 6 times since I've sen you around last.LOL.LOL.

Nice mods to the car. I did the same thing a while back. Disassembled the lights and polished the outer lenses, and the inner tinted lens. Came out great. What's next on your list? ...um...painting that black trim on the rear bumper....maybe?LOL

Haha everybody gets a laugh out of the yellow bumper.  One of the next things I want to do is save up for a paint job.  I have a whole different bumper that will be going on so I'm just going to wait until then.

I've been more of a lurker lately...just been driving the cars around and going to car shows.  Not really doing much work on them haha.

I've been pretty busy with the Sport the last three days. Feels good,too. I needed that "therapy" for a change. The Sport loved it as well.

A couple of weeks ago I installed the ChuckW mounts and new headers. Again, good feeling.

Good to see you back.

Ugh it's been way too long since I posted here haha...

So it's time for the next major project that I have been wanting to do for a very long time...get rid of the 4x4 stance.  I've already scored a set of Suspension Tech front springs, caster camber plates, offset steering rack bushings, and rear strut brackets thanks to ivygreen.  Next, I'm looking to order a set of these:

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/TOK-HB3026K/87-93-Mustang-Tokico-Hp-Series-Strut-Shock-Kit

The only thing now is to decide on what rear spring I want to use.  I already have a set of rear springs off of a 2002 Mustang GT...but should I get something else instead?  Haven't decided yet.

 If you don't have time or money for trim black paint you can always plasti-dip it.

The first parts have arrived!



Suspension Tech front springs , MAC caster/camber plates, offset steering rack bushings, and rear shock adapter brackets.  Everything is brand new, never used.  Huge thanks to ivygreen for the generous deal.  I couldn't ask for a better set of parts to start the project off with.
