HOLA!

Springs are finally in! The front ones were a huge pain in the butt. But it's over! At last! It's definitely lower, but I couldn't get the best view of it in my garage. I'll try to take some pics outside before I take it in tomorrow morning.

Awesome. Same here. Worked all day no time for pics. So how much lower do you think it is...about 1" or 1.25"?

Here's a really bad pic, but it'll give you an idea.

I'm guessing 1" in the back, and a little under 1.5" in the front.

-Install strut tower brace
-Paint brake calipers and drums black
-Install new door handles
-Repaint mirrors and front and rear windshield molding/trim
-Tint windows (% )
-Buy and install additional amp, cap, wiring, box, and my other sub.

Later:

-Pro5.0 short throw shifter
-Better front sway bar (stock 5.0, MM, or eibach )
-Subframe connectors
-New shocks and struts

-Black leather e-brake boot
-Billet e-brake cover
-Replace seat belt sleeves, and various other worn interior items
-Replace rear package tray
-Replace roof rail molding
-Replace body molding
-Refurbish quarter window trim
-Either shorten the antenna, or splurge and have it shaved
-2.3T engine; bigger turbo, 3" dual (lol) exhaust, bigger rear end, and a few other things I can't think of at the moment. (goal = 300hp)
-140mph (white face ) gauges
and probably some other things I'm forgetting. lol

I know that feeling. I'd love to take advantage of this buyers market on cars, find a Vista Blue GT for 12-13k, I might could convice my dad to trade in my jeep, once we get my old truck fixed. Even though I dont have a garage, I dont want to drive the Stang in the rain, and i'll keep it under a cover

Santa will be here before you know it..........maybe he'll bring you some of the stuff you want! I know I have a few things on my list for my car

On a good note, I was granted a 2nd interview for the job that is the 30 mile commute. Not crazy about the commute or the hours (8:30-5:30), with an hour commute each way, it will make for a long day. But I've just been spoiled for so long with my last job, was only 10 mile commute each way, hours were 9-5 (with an hour lunch) and I could wear jeans, shorts or sweatpants........whatever I wanted which was NICE! But this new place seems like a strong company that will be around for a while. Now I just have to hope that I'm what they are looking for.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he's back!

Class ended early today, since it was the first day of this class, and no one had materials. Got a tour of the shop facilities, paint booths, etc. Definitely the most extensive shop I've ever seen Of course, I can't use most of the tools as a first year student, but I will eventually.

I've now been to 3 of my 4 classes and let me just say that so far everything is AWESOME. Expensive as **** (the supplies at least) but so worth it
