-new BFG G-Force 225/60/15's
-new Ford Racing water pump
-new timing chain
-new clutch fan
-rebuilt the original AOD

Future plans when I get back are to paint it back to the original white color, redo the interior with Opal gray cloth replacement covers from LMR and get rid of the ugly vinyl seats. Tint the windows and powder coat the wheels satin black. That is pretty much it. The engine is 100% original and runs well so I am not messing with it.

This will be a weekend driver so obviously I am not building a show car. Just a nice car to drive.

I pieced it together. Here is a parts list from North Racers that I used as a guide: http://www.northracecars.com/4lugreardisc.html
-Rotors-2 needed 5455 generic part for 88 Turbo coupe
-Soft lines from caliper to housing (1ea) Brake best 380371 380372 these are for a mustang but are much less money than the TC parts

Calipers Turbo Coupe loaded (1ea) #4509 and 4508 Loaded make sure they come with the support or pad bracket

New E-brake cables 2 needed 79-92 #M2809A

Optional equipment:
Dust Shields-2 needed (Dealer item only) #F4ZZ 2C028A

Well, I made it a few days ago. This place has changed since I was here last in 2002. Now I just need to grind out the next 8 months or so and get back to the real world.

Thanks for the support guys and...Your welcome......It is an honor to serve....
