Oooh, Pull-a-Part crushed the FC parts car, ouch. There wasn't a whole lot left on it, although someone probably could've used the fender and doors and such.
Drive the 7! It'll do fine. My springs are shot and my TPS is bad but I'm running anyway. Represent teh rotareh!

Good deal, sounds like you're the one getting your way Derrick. So.... you gonna slap some paint on that thing when you put the new trim on?
Cody lemme know when you wanna hook that fan up. We also need to clean/fix up that targa and get it up for sale.

I might paint it, but chances are Ill get a quote first to have the dent pulled and my bondo patch fixed up, then get it done in bomber black. Will use my spare fenders and pull my bumpers and such before I have it sprayed. Ill still need a front lip and maybe some t2 sideskirts.
Man...just reserved a set of s5 tails....now all I really need is t2 sideskirts to hide a curb ride from an oversized sewer grating....in other news almost everything for the widebody is ordered as far as brakes is concerned, full 5 lug upgrade and FC T2 calipers as well, just waiting on the Re-Speed kit to show up then itll need exhaust and rubber seals for everything to be road worthy again, well and a set of wide wheels to fill out the fenders. A 16x8 starion wheel sits almost flush with the wheel well, with about a hand width behind it...so a 16x10 seems feesable with a perfect offset in the rear, but still havent determined what we need to fill out the front just yet...starion wheels wont clear the bigass FC calipers.
cuz for as nice as the hood and valence turned out...powder coating a steel NA hood is a waste of powder. And as for me spraying...I have too much to pull out and smooth back for my liking, and after seeing how the widebody turned out ill pull/hammer out my left corner as much as I can with the limited tools i have as well before seeking out body work.
Yeah....but the tails im looking at have all the diffusers removed save the turn signals, 1/2 modernized as they called it, might use the fakish l.e.d. lights instead of the usual bulbs....we'll see. But I will have the race rubber mounted and ready to go for DGRR.
ouch man, that bites. though if you ever get the bank to go nuts with the FB i suggest looking into the Re-Speed kits, FC conversion parts for brakes and even a new front crossmember with a mustang rack and pinion setup, the crossmember being made to utilize both the 12a/13b(fb)/13b(fc) mounts as well...just something josh was considering in the future when the motor is pulled for freshening next year maybe
yeah i said it....but lets face it...a new rack off a mustang will cost you less and possibly out perform the old and...bent out of shape stock turning controls. and a nice shiney new crossmember to hold all your favorite mounts so no more dodgy "front cover" swaps to make them 13b's hum to life lol.
