Thought with some new faces around that I'd bump this thread.
I am now almost at 75K. Last week I tore off (almost disintegrated) OEM quad-shocks for a set of KYB gas quad-shocks. Good improvement.
Just ordered today (URP products): Mustang Billet Battery Tray Hold Down Kit. My stock tray is beat-up and I keep failing tech at AX so I got fed-up lol.

Bump to an old thread. what's everybody progress for currently 2013??
My Zephyr had about 60,000 miles on it when I tore it apart. I'm pretty sure I'm the 4th owner. The original owner had it until pretty recently and traded it in on a Hyundai. The odometer on the '90 Mustang parts car read 54,000, but I'm thinking that's 154,000. My 302 is pretty beat. Anyway, the drivetrain in the Zeph is all '87-93 Mustang now. T-5 trans and 8.8 rear. Brakes are '01 Mustang in front and Mark VII in the rear. Ford Racing 4.10 gears, Qa1 tubular K-member and caster/camber plates, BBK strut tower brace, Steeda lower control arms in the rear. The rest of the car is a hodge-podge of parts from various different Fords. I'm slowly getting to where everything works well together, but the suspension/wheels are a major concern. It has '01 Bullitt wheels on it now, but I need more offset so I can lower the car to a more reasonable height. It sits WAY too high and rides horribly. The mixed bag of shocks and springs contributes to that too, i'm sure. I'm going to finish this year's projects with subframe connectors, get the car weighed and put some proper coilovers in the car to work with that weight along with some different wheels.
I'll bet I've put less than 10,000 miles on the car since I've had it (between swapping dashes, I'm not sure). I've always been dis-satisfied with something about it, so it mostly sits and gets driven to car shows. I really hope that changes in the near future.
