BlueBird Reply #32 – October 10, 2018, 12:04:29 PM Yup, still accurate at this time. I have decided to keep this a running and driving project as much as possible. I roughed out multiple stages that should facilitate big upgrades in the winter and smaller tweaks during the driving seasons. Stages are somewhat modular and timeline will depend on several factors; I just need to stick to the plan and do work! Quote Selected
BlueBird Reply #34 – October 12, 2018, 05:16:28 PM I spent a bunch of time today organizing and cleaning my shop. There were piles of Fiat parts all over the floor which needed moved to my parts dept. and Tbird parts that needed moved in. Having only finished the inside of my building last winter and being busy all summer, I still lack shelving, benches, and cabinets that make a shop function well. I knocked together another set of shelves, raided my parts stash, and got all this moved in and put away. Quote Selected

BlueBird Reply #37 – October 13, 2018, 12:07:29 AM Are you going to change out the stock rear control arms while you're swapping the rear axle? Quote Selected
BlueBird Reply #38 – October 13, 2018, 08:01:39 AM Quote from: thunderjet302;467572Are you going to change out the stock rear control arms while you're swapping the rear axle?No. The main goal for this round of suspension work is to get the car back on the road and somewhat presentable. The right front brake caliper is locked up and I refused to replace it with another Fox caliper when I knew I wanted 5lugs to hang my wheels on. Similar situation with rear arms; I know they will get upgraded down the road and I do not want to be double purchasing a bunch of parts. When I get into the major suspension redo, I will handle control arms at all corners.5lugs, springs, and bars for now. I will probably toss the 15:1 steering rack on while everything is apart and regear the sn95 7.5 because I have all the stuff here to do so. Quote Selected
BlueBird Reply #39 – October 13, 2018, 09:16:18 AM Ah. Makes sense. I thought you were swapping in a 8.8 at this point. Are you eventually going IRS? I thought your white car had the IRS setup out of a 03-04 Cobra. Quote Selected

I decided my modded IRS was overkill for the intended do-all street car purpose. It will resurface under a Coyote/6spd Zephyr project I am consulting on. Quote Selected

That way if it doesn't fit well I'm not out the money :hick:. Quote Selected
