Some of you know of my recent mishap accident with a SUV that rear ended a taurus, causing me not to be able to stop in time, so i rear ended him as well [mecry]

Anyways, since i had to tear the front end of the car up, might as well do some upgrades in the process!

* SVT sub cover
* Massive cam gear bolts
* Massive header bolts
* Reinforced grade 10.9 bolts for entire exhaust
* JayRacing custom coolant line

* ...probably more, just can't think of it at the moment!

New parts to be installed during rebuild include:
* New pass. fender
* New hood
* SVT fascia kit

* Euro grille
* Steeda badges
* CFM shorty antenna
* TS color code matched interior bezel/handles

...and a few more minor things probably will have to be done, but I think thats the majority..

I will keep updating as I do more work on the car. It's taking a while because I don't have a garage and i just work on it in between work and the crappy rain!

Let me know of any good ideas!!

Thanks guys!

I have also dropped the rear ~1 inch to even out with the front, debadged, and installed the CFM shorty antenna, steeda emblems, and SAP diffuser.

Time to go clean up the headers and finish painting the radiator mounts!

Haha, i only wish i had a check. We just exchanged info and left it at that, so we each are repairing out own damage...needless to say, this was way more than his damage

me too!

I have to change out my front driver control arm also, i damaged the joint when i did my svt brake swap.

I think i may install power windows/door locks/mirrors along with everything else if i can get to it all in time!

wow its nice to see those cool headlights held up decent in the accident. i ahve a quick off topic question on those, did they use the vw plug (like the st170 lights) or a stock focus plug?
