Changing the trim to black makes it a lot better.  For the bags did you use OEM bags from lincoln mark Vii or aftermarket stuff?

Aftermarket stuff.
There are no Lincoln's over here, so it would have been difficult to source parts.

Yeah i've ordered some MM Camber plates, when i install those i'll see if i can get the front lower.
As above is bottoming out the shocks.

if that doesn't work, i'll see if i can find some fox mustang struts.

Forgot to update

Installed the MM Camber plates, which helped bring the front down.
Unfortunately overestimated hood clearance, so have a bit of a dint in it from the strut :/

excuse to get a cowl done.

It's obviously not the same car, but your before pictures looks very much like my first 'bird.  It was a 1984, painted the same way (white-out-everything). 

The memories..

In Aus, our ~1998/1999 Ford Falcon's had a Explorer Spec 5.0 available.

so Roller Block
GT40P's
Cranecam 444225
crane roller rockers
crow valve springs

I've got a Powerdyne Supercharger to suit the engine itself, but i think the Bracket setup will have it sitting too wide, so it may or may not be used.

either way, should pretty much double the power it had with the original motor :)

wow so weird seeing the firewall all backwards like that. :P  I'm being serious!  Also ya gotta keep the stock hood look.  Any chance to get a turbo coupe hood for cheap where you're at?

Nah not a chance.

I'd be surprised if there was even a Turbo Coupe in Australia.

slowly but surely.

Still need to work out the headers on the Drivers side.
as expected, the shorties interfere with the steering shaft.

Started cutting up some other headers i had laying around, but i need to get a new starter to check clearance.

Not much more to show yet.
Although its now running after finding 2 dud injectors.

engine bay is more Aussie Falcon then thunderbird now, which should make life easier for replacement parts.

Needs tidyup and to install the TV Cable before its drivable.
