Cool 2.3 mustang dream projects

I have been coming up with some Ideas for a dream project build. I hope to one day after I finish my education to build it. I was wondering what other peoples dream builds were. So go into detail of your dream build I will get the ball rolling by starting with mine..

Ok starting with a 92 notch back w/ 2.3 n/a motor
Drive Train:
First a 2.3 DOHC Volvo head
Twin turbos
2.5 stroker kit
long tube headers
intercooler
Haven't decided on what tranny
upgrade the rear end to 5 lug and posi-trac

Exterior:
Cobra R hood
Cobra stalker front bumper
1 piece black euro style head lights
Saleen style wing
weld racing wheels
10" street slicks
smoky tail lights
Silver with ghost flames

Interior:
5 point safety harness
new guages
new upholstery (dark Blue or black)
Kenwood DVD player/Stereo
2 Kenwood 10" subs 1000watts max
Kenwood 1000 watt amp

Thats all I can think of at the moment kinda vague but you get the idea.. I'll work on updating it some more after I get some sleep tonight lol..

steeda tri-ax shifter
trac-loc rear end
4.10 gears
new clear headlights
smoked tail light lenses
20% tint in the back 35% on the sides

You are converting an aero nose to a four eye! That is awesome! Finally someone is turning the tables.

To the OP, I thought about a twin turbo and had designed how I was gonna do it. IF you want it done you can either use two exhaust manifolds or run a sequencial rubo setup.

MG Man your on here too, small effing world.

My plans are:
Keep it naturally aspirated with parts from racerwalsh, and two other sites
4bbl conversion
no a/c or powersteering(maybe)
considering a certain civi front mount intake reworked to wor with a hood scoop
Header and dual exhaust

T56 trans
aluminum D-shaft
8.8 with 2:73's and a 3link or Trackbar setup
Watts link

79 Pace car/ Cobra front bumper cover
aeronose Cobra rear bumper cover
fab up a windage tray
sealed beam conversion
LED conversion
Rear Louvers(original aluminum no plastic crap)
remove rub strips
Paint red with black Boss strip and Canadian Cobra GT stripe

Rear seat delete
black on red interior
SVO pedal assem

Your really just gonna have to see my Car DOmain page for more.
