Done so far:
-Had the front radiator support/shock towers realigned by a frame shop (previous accident that was not properly fixed by the agency it was assigned to)
-New front rotors and brakes
-new strut bushings
-NOS front and rear spring isolators
-New front/rear shocks/Tokico Blues (I already had. Looking for OEM)
-NOS front air valance
-Rebuilt the original OEM Motorcraft alternator
-rear disc conversion (i know what your going to say, but the OEM drums, brakes and cables were crusty and non functioning and I already had this disk brake kit on hand)
-new master cylinder ('93 Cobra)
-3/2 conversion with Wilwood PV
-new BFG G-Force 225/60/15's
-new Ford Racing water pump
-new timing chain
-new clutch fan
-rebuilt the original AOD
-FRPP aluminum drive shaft (already had and the original was in bad shape)
-Flowmaster Force II kit (NOS exhausts are too $$$)
-removed and cleaned the original carpet
-NOS belt moldings and window wipes
-Installed OEM radio and amp

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
