88 lx 5.0... the modding begins


My car is a piece lol. Just bought about $1,500 worth of parts on day one. I just ordered:
a new cooling system(water pump, radiator, fan and assesories, and hoses)
New one piece smoked headlights and bi-xenon 8k hid kit
new door handles
wiper blade motor
billitt a/c knobs
new plugs, wires, and distributer cap
used t-5 transmission (aod went out)

Next week I'm gonna finish the parts for the t-5 swap(if someone could give me a list of parts i would appriciate it)
5 lug conversion with sve front and rear cobra brake kit
new 5 lug wheels (probably sve wheels)

That should get me buy for a while. I may look to do a vortech kit after that. don't really know what direction i want to go with this car yet. It's supposed to be my daily driver.

Here is how it sits for now...

Good to see you’re starting under the hood. Don’t forget to replace the thermostat. Did you replace the stock fan or go electric? I would get the battery and alternator checked out if you haven’t yet. Since it’s your daily driver I would do the suspension before the 5 lug conversion.
Late Model Restoration has everything you will ever need. CJ Pony Parts is good also but they always seem to mess up my orders.
I see you getting rid of the 3V and getting the new 5.0. You know Fords changing the mustang again in 2014.
