Been awhile since I've posted an update.

- I changed out the old faded headlights for some new ones...now I can at least see at night.
- Sanded and painted my side mirrors, since no one offers replacement manual mirrors for a fox.
- Had my fan crap out, so I hit the junkyard and picked up a 2-speed contour fan and wired it in to the ignition. I plan on adding a controller to it this winter.
- Finally, welded in some sub-frame connectors

This winter, the plan to build a panhard bar and 3-link for the rear. Along with boxing in the radiator and add some flares to the fenders.

Also, my brother grabbed this awesome shot one morning at my parents house

Nice picture. Glad you got those headlights changed out. I had a friend that had an 87 Mustang with headlights that bad. He drove with his high beams on to see. No one would flash him back to tell him they were being blinded.

What’s your plan for the flares?

The 18x10’s look great, do you think with a different offset you wouldn’t be rubbing, I assume it’s rubbing the outer and not the inner?

Keep the updates coming, there’s more than a couple Mustang guys around here.

I know how he feels. I felt like I could do better adding an old lantern to the front end.

For the flares, I have some datsun Z flares I'm going to put on.
The front actually rubbed the inner at full lock, I just added a 3/8in spacer and that seemed to help.

The rear rubs the outer but only when I hit a bump. The rear is from a 98, so little wider than a fox unit. I've been driving on it all summer and fall, but it needs to be addressed over the winter.

Looking forward to seeing the flares, I’ve thought about doing the same....what does JDM mean anyways?

I’m right behind you on my upgrades, I’ll be picking up my ‘95 5lug and brake stuff tomorrow.

Basher, it's Japanese Domestic Market. It means it is or was available only in Japan
