I completed that task In about may I think because I could only get up there part time... Thats right my car sat on that lift for about two months without moving at one point and the owner only fussed at me a few times!!! I really do owe his SOOO much!

Then I just randomly drove the car when I got the chance.

Mid july i blew the stock c4 transmission, hated it anyway because I couldnt really get on the highway with it since I had 3.80's(8 inch rear end lol)
So the car sat from then until about halloween because I was sourcing parts for my t5 swap trying to get things as cheap as I could. Sent it to a shop where the guy restores mustangs on the side and he had it until Christmas eve doing that swap since he was working on it in his spare time.

SOME CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO MYSELF!!

got new exhaust the first week of january: 2.5" all the way back to flowmaster 40's that are dumped

Just drove it like that for a little bit. Then we had some major snow here in the DFW area for the first time ever that Ive seen here...(that picture is on my old phone and I am having trouble getting it to the internet /: Its sitting out in the parking lot of my apt under a car cover lol)

About a month ago my rear started sagging to the driver side very badly so I ordered:
-new reverse eye 5-leaf leaf springs to get rid of whatever was on there before
-monte carlo bar
-subframe connectors
-shackles
-new rear shocks
-1" lowering blocks

Now if i remember correctly the front coils were 1" lower and then i cut them some...
Got those parts installed last weekend.
With the reverse eye springs and blocks out back it sits almost level and the rear will most likely settle another inch or so and then it will sit just how i want it to. The subframe connectors are bolted in but Im going up to the exhaust shop this weekend to have him weld them real quick.

Im also possibly picking up some "temporary" 17's this weekend. I say temporary because knowing me they will probably stay on the car for quite a while haha. 17x8's 245/45/17 tires. going to replace my 205/70/14 & 235/60/15's that are on there now.


should I leave them silver like they are or do one of these two paint schemes or does anyone else have any other ideas fro them??
