If anyone needs advice or parts websites, etc, I have been "legworking" that for my Mustang for a year now.

I have done much legwork and research in the past only to be defeated by indolent American suppliers who won't supply the UK or won't take credit cards lest you're a terrorist fraudster from Nigeria or somehow contrive to send a part by "Gold Service Interpol Private security" so that the shipping costs more than the car. In the end, however much research you do, make sure you ask the fundamental question which is "Will you put yourself out to supply the UK".

As a result, I've set myself up with a Paypal Verified account. It means no credit but even Americans accept money...sometimes.

I'd still be interested in the fruits of your research as I'm about to embark upon my own 2005 Mustang project. So far, I've ordered a Hurst shifter with chrome stem and white ball (maybe not the best but the best looking and no locknuts to mess round with plus at LM Performance, you can buy some cracking Hurst badges for the back and fascia), a Steeda billet tower brace and BMR A-arm brace. On the list are new wheels and tyres, rod-end suspension components and a big front brake kit. I'm not keen on lowering it yet as I want to see how it handles stock with better tyres and also don't want to mess around with suspension geometry and camber plates and relocators. I'm subscribing to Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords on the exhaust front and hope to fit a Vortech chargecooled supercharger. Haven't even picked the car up yet...
