I hear ya. That's one of my other problems. I do my work in a car port (the one in the pics). Spindles, lcas and struts are easy, but since I don't have the patience to deal with the bushings, or the manual dexterity to install sway bars without a helper, the grease monkeys can bolt it all together while they're at it.

I would have went with different tires (depending on your location that is).
I had the neros stock and switched to some summer tires and man the difference in traction is amazing.

What are the plans/ideas after the suspension? V8 swap? FI?

But why a v6 plan on swapping it to something?

Don't hate on the 3.8L. Its a very good engine. It had a good bit of giddy up in the Tbird I used to have, and the Mustang is lighter...so win. With some mods it would scream. It does lack a bit of aggressiveness though, atleast in the sound department.
I had the exhaust off the Tbird once, and it sounded like a tractor x.x

imo buy a 03-04 swap for it

190 HP, what a beast. It must be killing those Accords....
From what I have read they top out around 400HP with a blower. Not to bad but a V8 swap would make better power and be more reliable.
Plus you get that sound.

I plan on sticking with the 3.8 for now. It's got headers and the cats are out, and I'll probably throw on a throttle body, cai, coil pack, platinum plugs, and other minor stuff. For now it's a weekend toy kinda thing, nothin fancy. The actual next thing I'll work on is probably the interior though. Then I'll do body work next Spring.

Grrr, ups tracking now says Thursday... I don't like that. Means it won't be completely done til Monday.

on topic with title lol, keep it v6 just slap a supercharger on it later, my guess is a 3.8sc Thunderbird engine would fit in there easily if its not a direct bolt on.

v6 stang

wut

Yeah, saw one with an m113 sc recently. It was a monster. The 3.8sc is a direct bolt on, but I probably won't mess with that for some time, as I don't want to do it on stock internals. I had also considered the twin turbo setup I saw the other day on v6power's channel on youtube. Put out 400ish at the wheels, but I didn't much like the exhaust note.
