Well Late last night I started getting the Mustang setup for the front suspension swap.

Last night I stripped down the passenger side, and today I had to go get a few tools and started on the driver side, and eventually dropped the k member. Now I have a bunch of new parts, and I just have to figure out what everything is and where it all goes. Also will be needing a few other items before I can begin, first thing are some new engine mounts.
Enjoy pictures, I will update as I progress.

Big thanks to my brothers and dad, they stopped by today and put in a little work too, an extra hand never hurts!

Looks good man!!! Glad you found one of those engine holder upper things. Makes life easier! I seriously need to stop by!

Yeah man anytime, assuming I am home.

Got to love harbor freight, they have their place,not always the best tools, but for this it works great and was less then 50$ with my 20% off coupon!

Like I said, not I just have some details to work out, got to get a hold of Mike Bell and see about some of the stuff I have. At the time I bought it, I was focused more of drag and I rather go more toward street and have the ability to drag. Should have got the silver or black coil over kit instead of the blue, although that would give me a little patriotic theme, red brakes, white car, and blue coil overs!

As long as your coilover setup has the bearings in the top (which I think they all do now) you should be fine, even with a drag spring in it. But you can always change it if you're not happy. When are you usually around?

UPR is awesome, I have to agree, I went through Mike at Dayton performance when I bought my stuff, but also talked to Adam a lot at UPR and he is most helpful. He is letting me swap out my blue coil over kit for some silver ones, kind of a small thing but I like to keep consistent colors.

Yes it is, you like it?!

My buddy that I got the car from had a muffler shop make that up to help quiet it down, I have never heard it without so not sure how much louder it would be.
