With all that new found room, you could enjoy home cooked meals on the road!

Looks awesome!!!! As an aside, in pic # 7, to the left is that the grommet door wiring) that can leak into the interior and the elec. junction box? Did you check it for proper fit? I marvel at your talent! What a way for you to make some extra cash, doing this mod for other Stangers! (High five)

Thanks for the all the compliments guys. Gotta say this is probably my favorite forum to post on!

2k7gtcs - Yea idk if fun is a word that I would ever use for this project lol and dont act like your not gonna get bit by the mod shortly after the car is off the jackstands.

Torch_Vert - Appreciate it, this was a pretty big thing to do... let alone to get it done right with no problems lol

PTRocks - That sounds like some good bathroom reading material. I dont even like carrying food in my car lol

MustangGuy - Yep, I checked that grommet and it was seated properly and havent had any leaking as of yet(only has 10k miles on it). Idk how much to charge for job like this, but if the price seemed right then id do it in a second. Knowing what I know now, doing it a second time wouldnt be too difficult at all.

CJ428 - When it comes to something im passionate about, my car for instance, I have all the patience in the world butttt there are certain things such as bad drivers that my patience tends to run thin lol I wish I could get a job doing stuff like this because it would definitely be a job id love to have. Where are you btw?

**** scott, you could probably build up some extension harness and sell it. I'm sure someone would buy! It looks really good btw. With all that extra room, you should begin fab of your own turbo system. You could mount that puppy right in there with room to spare!

jodadejSS06GT - I was thinking about trying to fab up a premade harness for resale and I could probably do it but it would take some semi serious time and money to go from idea to creation. But Im not saying that I wont try over the summer when I have some free time! And if I had the money for a FI system then itd already be in the works lol

EagleStroker - shoot me a PM if youre serious about getting together to do this to yours.

Thanks James! Be sure to keep us all posted when you do yours.

Does anyone know where the best place to find the harnesses for this car? Im toying with the idea of buying some and making a drop in wire harness!

Friggin awesome!

I'm sure if you did some searching, you could find who makes the connetors etc for Ford and buy them in bulk.

Webelectic makes their sequentials with OEM harnesses. I doubt they buy harnesses from FORD and mod them.

I'm thinking Moroso and Canton aluminum reservoirs would look nice, too.

Did I ever tell you how much I like your color and roof combo??

835LTRGT - Good to know, im going to look into when I get a break from school and whatnot.

houtex - If youre serious about it, then shoot me a pm!

Dez - Posting this up has brought quite a bit of good attention and theres a strong possibility of me doing this to several cars. So there may be several mods coming for car in the near future if everything comes through

CO_VaporGT_09 - I agree and Id love to clean things up even more with some aluminum goodies so believe me their in the works. Thanks for the color/roof compliment and gotta say yours looks badass as well! It was the main reason I hunted this car down lol
