TomB Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 What are you guys doing over the winter to make your fords quicker or cleaner?
pauln Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 Just fitted adjustable TCAs and compression struts. Need to mod the arb to drop links and I 'm thinking about 4 linking and panhard rodding the rear. Fit the rear calipers and discs. Fit the throttle bodies and a new ecu and make sure i'm still getting out in it during the winter.
60ftman Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 Complete new ignition electronics. 'Funny car' style drivers roll-cage. Fit the headlining that's been in the cupboard for three years(!). Get some of the paint re-done as it's starting to look a little tatty.
