Front Suspension Install Part 2 - Foxbody Restomod Part 36 - Installing Foxbody Mustang UPR Coil Over Kit and Tubular Control Arms - In this video we install the UPR coil over kit with Koni non-adjustable orange struts along with the new tubular a-arms and the SN-95 steering rack.
Foxbody Mustang UPR K-Member Install - Finally starting the installation of the front suspension! In this video I installed the UPR tubular K-member and the SVE caster camber plates. I also prepped both coilovers for installation.
I painted the engine bay and the front wheel wells with white enamel paint in my home garage. I setup a quick paint booth on this side of the garage by stapling painters drop cloths to the ceiling and to some boxes across the floor.
Just doing some random tasks here and there to get ready for engine bay paint and trying to put together my coil over kit. Not a lot of progress but some stuff that needed to get done.
In this video I cut off the driver side sway bar bracket, prep and prime the frame rails, and remove the pedal box and steering wheel so I can mask off the engine bay for paint.
In this video I cut off most of one of the sway bar brackets and rust prep the passenger side rear wheel well of my 1989 Ford Mustang GT Foxbody that I'm restoring. This was in the middle of a heatwave so I couldn't get that much done and the work was a bit physically exhausting.
Cleaning up the engine bay again. In this video I started drilling out the spot welds on the sway bar brackets, another coat of glazing putty on the strut towers, priming in the radiator support, and painting one of the inner fender wells.
Garage Extra Part 10 - For all of the grinding and metal prep I have to do, I decided I needed to replace my foggy, ill-fitting Dewalt goggles and 3M respirator combo with a full face respirator/shield with a light and a camera mount. Unfortunately I couldn't find any cheap full face respirators that had what I needed so I just bought some adhesive mounts and made my own on a budget.
Happy Fourth of July! More underbody and wheel well restoration. More sanding, wire wheeling, rust reformer, and general strife. This is another liminal video of grinding progress. I started working on the rear wheel well but instead went back to front and cleaned up the front wheel wells.
My father came up to visit and I immediately put the poor man to work sanding my engine bay with me. lol it was a blast, and we had a great time!
