Went for a rip after ZR and Ross spent a few days working on my car. It was really nice. Thanks Rick and Ross for working when sick. I appreciated that
Talk about an absolute cherry, loaded n sporting only 15k on the clock.
Undercoating clean up before welding in a set of Steeda full length connectors. Gosh darn I dislike that dealer sprayed on black goopy stuff. :)
Hood struts do look good on there but the factory "goop" all over the inner fenders n rad support really took away from how clean this car really is. Without going nutz, Ross gave it a quick once over which improved things nicely. We also moved the alarm siren to the inner fender, was previously mounted to the alternator (nope, never seen that before). OE Ford battery looks way more at home under the hood, cables n hold down repaired from previous damage.
Stock ht n ride just wasn't gonna cut it. Ford Racing springs, Bilsteins shocks, new isolators and fresh pair of lower arms will control things out back.
Out front, matching Ford Racing springs, Koni SA struts plus Maximum Motorsports CC plates. Impossible to match the quality of MM plates.
To help the factory 17x8 rims better fill the rear wheel wells, set of one inch Eibach hub centric wheel spacers. Now that looks right for a GT.
Finishing touch on the front, Mach 1 style chin spoiler.
Mods are so subtle most peeps would thing this is exactly how the car came from the factory. Previous mods include BBK ceramic full length headers, BBK catted mid pipe plus Maggy SS cat back. Inside, Steeda shifter plus a light bar. BBK CAI under the hood.
Sweet car Brian, hope you enjoy it.

Why so much dislike? It makes welding so much more entertaining.

Entertaining is not the word I'd use but fair enough. Spotlessly clean + non powder coated rails = best welding n cleanest job possible.

Thanks guys. I have been collecting parts for 6 months or so, some from members. Also got and SCT X4 for a reasonable price so the tune and alignment will be the last things to do I think. If I find some nice 9"+ 18 " black rims I may go for some bigger tires. The parts selection was with the Rick's advice and many hours trolling here as everyone shared their views and experiences. With only 15,381 Km I wanted to keep it fairly stock looking. These low mileage cars do come with some issues though simply because they don't get enough use. Rick also spent time inspecting everything with that in mind. It also had to have new calipers and rear disks done. Changed out some of the fluids too. Amsoil syncro in the transmission (TR 3650) should make that work smoother.
