Yes, Im going to mod it to my liking and keep it semi-stock looking. I haven't really sat down and planned it all out. I need to get to my place(its at my parents place in the valley) but this Sunday it'll be towed home.Then I can start getting dirty!

So here's an update of my Gran Torino Sport revival project!
So from sitting since 2007 the fuel system was trashed and all the fuel turned to rust,dirt and varnish. Im surprised it drive at all! I had to replace almost everything except the hard fuel line.
The master cylinder no pressure because the wheel cylinders we're shot and leaking. So I did a rear brake overhaul. Only to find out the master cylinder was bad as well...but i wasn't done with the brake system yet...lol!
After all the brake work the pedal was still soft and didnt want to return after I took my foot off the brake...turns out the original master cylinder leaked fluid into the brake booster (damn fords!) lol!
The front brake rotor were warped and so I decided to rebuild everything anyways.

So the latest thing is too use front springs off of a Crown Vic with the police package (1000lbs) Polyurethane end link bushings and KYB shocks.
I added some Welds 15X5 and 15X10's
Before and after.
More coming soon!

Pi71 springs are not 1000lb I was just giving Ernesto shit.
They are typically 320 on 03 newer and if you use 03 newer springs on 02 and older it brings the rate to double about 640lbs.
Suspension geometries changed. So that's why your friends pi rides soft as hell because well it has 320lb springs. In comparison stock crowns have 220lb springs.
