How have you guy's all been I know I haven't been on in a long time so I thought I'd check in. I recently moved back to dallas and am currently taking classes to become Texas certified state vehicle inspector .
I also just got new springs on my 96' Mustang GT over the weekend. My buddy was leaving the state since he is now out of the Army. He gave me a set of 03' Cobra springs for the front and a set of 03' Mach 1 springs for the rear that were cut 2in to level out the suspension. I also recently before leaving austin had broken my driver side lower ball joint, here are some pics. enjoy guys!

Broken Ball Joint:





All shiny at my brothers shop here in Dallas (after the move)



Then someone keyed my car:


New Springs = Slammed 96' GT:





Looking sexy at the mall parking garage:

I got a center cap for the passenger side over the weekend. Finding them in silver rather than polished are hard to come by. I never got the key mark out, they scratched it down to the metal. Whoever did it was walking past my car because it goes all the way down the passenger side

Looking pretty good, you got lucky with that ball joint. When mine broke off the Lumina the whole wheel fell off!!!
