Default My progress report plus seeking advice

I am finally driving my 94 V6 Stang. I debated installing a 351W but went for economy instead. I rebuilt the 3.8 with all new internals, bored out 20 thousandths and a mild upgrade cam. I have about 5000 miles on it so far and I'm glad I did it. It has enough power to be fun to drive and gets about 30 MPG while possibly exceeding the speed limit. New clutch, brakes, stereo, etc were added. I need to get a few dents fixed up and the interior needs a little bit of love but it looks ok at the moment.

So far I've been keeping everything close to stock. I have recently picked up a type R fiberglass body kit, drilled and slotted front rotors, a BOMZ cold air intake and a Dynomax cat-back system. Now I just need to get some time and an extra hand to put it together.

I haven't got a ton of cash left over at the moment but as a rookie Mustang owner I am wondering if there are any other upgrades I should consider when I get back to work on it. I am mostly using it as a daily driver but I must admit I appreciate a little better power and handling once in a while.

Your ideas are appreciated!

agreed!

... also t-lok and 4.10s
sway bars and strut braces will really lock down the handling
lowering springs are good too
