So, with suspension parts not arriving for another week or two 
I thought we could do a little much needed maintenance. We gave the 6-er a complete tune up, changed the oil and oil filter, changed the coolent and power steering fluids, replaced the windshield wipers and gave the engine a much needed shampoo-ing. (I'll post before and after pictures of the engine after I get them off the camera - what a difference!) Next .......... emissions testing. (I think we'll be ok)

So, as promised, here are some before (dirty) and after (clean) pictures of the engine bay. With over ten years of grime on her it was quite a job cleaning her up but she's looking good now. 
Sorry for the pics - ended up just uploading the ones from my Blackberry.

Thanks Pal. She runs soooooo much better after the tune up - the difference is like night and day. And with the engine all cleaned up I actually don't mind popping the hood to reveal the 6-er.

Ahhhh, FINALLY parts have started arriving - I've attached pictures!!! The FEDEX truck arrived this afternoon and it dropped of LOTS of goodies !!!!
- Chrome Strut Brace
- Steeda Rear Upper Control Arms
- Steeda Rear Lower Control Arms
- Steeda X2 Balljoints
- Steeda Bumpsteer Kit
- Steeda 4 Bolt Caster Chamber Plates
I'm expecting the final batch of parts next week:
- Tokiko D-Spec Adjustable Shocks & Struts
- Ford Racing 03/04 Cobra Style Front Lower Control Arms
- Steeda Front & Rear Tubular Sway Bars
- Steeda Endlinks Kit
- BBK Bolt On Subframe Connectors
NEVER order your performance parts in the spring .... EVERYTHING is on back order. Hopefully the last of the parts arrive next week and we can start the install. Were going to install everything ourselves in the garage (with the exception of the wheel alignment). I'll post pics of the install and stuff as we go along.
More to come CMOC-ers .... LOTS more to come. This build has only begun!
