I am waiting on my passenger side roll bar, and I can’t decide if I like the side wings or not.

Also after reading all the comments about using the 1996 8.8 rear end from a gt mustang, and will the 17” halibrands from ffr work or not, which many said no, I tried it any way and they worked perfect on the mk4 with the wide fenders. The wiring harness instructions for the factory five gauges speedo said to hook the speedo to 12v constant for clock memory, not so for the gps speedo, hook gps speedo to switched 12v.

I am also so thankful for all the suggestions and comments on different things others have learned and shared on the forums. Especially when it comes to the body mount and body work. Thanks to all.
If you run a carbed 302 you can eliminate a lot of wiring from the harness and clean up the wiring to the engine. I have only six or seven wires to the top of the engine for ignition etc.

That must be Torch Red, code D3, or Ford code M7042.

She looks beautiful, and don't think i'm picking, but you might want to take a look and reroute the power steering lines. If that's what I see just above the pump. Maybe it's just the camera angle but they look a bit unsupported .

I got my passenger side roll bar and it went in with no problems.
I am wanting to slow down the steering at speed, what flow reducer are people using to put in the system. I am using ford power steering pump from stock 1996 ford 5.0
Thanks

"Finished but will it ever be finished" How true, I've thought the same thing, not sure if a build is ever really finished, there's always something to change, update, poke at. Great work on the car!!!
