NON-broken front fenders are in! Car has been properly washed and now lives in the paint shop for the next few weeks. We'll see how long it takes them.
All 3 valve covers and calipers have been powder coated!
Aaaaaaaand on a different note, I may have bought a little something for the 240 I recently purchased. Oops?

I bought my next project for a year. 
I picked up an rb25 with a brand new ACT clutch, rb25 tranny and all accessories, uncut harness and ecu. It was just too good of a deal not to go for. Sooooo i'm going to start picking up parts for it piece by piece since I just want to build it. Right now I want to say 400rwhp is the goal, but considering the turbo is going to be one of the last pieces i'll buy, we'll see what happens between then and now. It is going to get build thought, that's for sure.
Only bad thing about this is the Mustang isn't going to be seeing any money for a bit.

Update! No pics as of yet though...
Okay, so we had a CLEAN 98(the most rare) fall into our laps with a salvage title. All the damage is to the suspension, however the body remains 100% clean. We started parting it out today and will be using the trunk lid, Greddy tower brace and Seibon carbon fiber hood for the race car. We're only a little worried the hood won't clear the motor as they sit a little high. If not, then i'll be using the hood for my 240!
I also ordered a brand new set of corner lights and European glass headlights. The Euro lights are the same as the JDM which moves the projector over a little but also has a larger projector. Already have the hi/lo HID kits from HIDGUY, which in my opinion are the absolute best on the market right now.
The car has been painted! I went into the paint booth today and had a look at it. I'm so happy this huge step has finally been taken and its a huge step in the right direction in what feels like the longest journey of my life. This has helped to renew the fire for this project. We should be getting it back next week. Problem is now that we finally have it back we don't have the time to work on it.
We picked up a Kognition chassis mount wing. This thing is SERIOUS! It creates a little over 1,000 ft/lbs of downforce at 140mph. We threw a Kognition on a customer's 280z and even at its softest degree setting it planted the car. We're completely sold on this product and cannot wait to feel it in action.
Kognition only made 2 of these and we've got one of them.
On another note, my 240 hasn't changed. However, because of this part out I now have all the parts for my front end conversion, except a hood and driver side headlight since it was broken. I should be receiving the new headlight in a week or two. I also have taken the tail lights which are rather expensive on their own. I will also be trading my grey interior for the black interior and i'm playing with the idea of swapping my 4 lug for the 5 lug. So that's some pretty big progress!
Pictures to come...
