I've made a couple of posts so far, but only just taken some pictures of my car.
It's a 1992 GT that I found on Ebay.co.uk. Std gearbox was mandatory, good colour and as late as reasonable.
It's my 4th Fox, I've had 2x Hatchbacks, 1x convertable and a 2.3 LX Notch.
1st thing I did was make it handle and stop. i felt the brakes were rubbish as std. Brothers performance sorted me out a suspension kit, Powered By Ford supplied the bushes and an advertiser on ebay.com sorted the 330mm front brake kit.
Best thing I did was uprate the master cylinder to a Wilwood 1 & 1/16 version, now I get decent pedal pressure
Rear brakes are a Ford Motorsport conversion I found but the parking brake is nearly useless, unfortunatly it's a legal requirement to have a good one! I'll be making my own set up useing Cosworth calipers and disks, I know the p-brake is good on those.
Engine is std short block, Edelbrock heads, 1.7 rockers, Basani Stainless headers, Trick flow inlet, 30lb injectors and QS Vortec blower kit. Exhaust is a 2.5 inch off road H pipe with hi flow mufflers and dumps - does sound good!
Trans is a std T5 and the clutch is a SPEC version. A T56 version will take it's place rather than a 600 as I don't intend going any further.

Wheels are Enkei 8x17's, 225's on the front, 255's on the rear. Had a hell of a problem finding 8's for the car,7's were easy and finding anything in 4 stud was tricky. these are rally wheels, magnesium too!

I hope you like it. It's not as wild as some of your cars, but parts availability, gas at $9/gallon and a wife that thinks it owes me $6000 ($18000 really) is slowing me down!
