thanks to John K. We might have it finished up tomorrow. Maybe I can make it down for mustang week just for the weekend.
Lets see the new parts:

New belt
New ac compressor
new clutch (spec 3)
changed tranny fluid
new flywheel (stock 03 cobra)
new differential
new bearings (Complete rebuild kit)
new 373 ring and pinion.
new hood (painted to match)
new strut tower brace
new rear brakes
freshly painted calipers all the way around.
fresh oil change

Gonna get washed and waxed this week and take it down to mustang week for the cruise in friday and car show sat. Can just afford to stay one night!

This rebuild has cost close to $400 with all the fluids and everything.

New ac compressor

How much did that run you? Did you replace it, and if so when drained/recharged the system. Just wondering cause my compressor is going out I believe.

Got it from a member here. Came from a 98 cobra. Got it for $80 shipped. Had to get a sensor. Not sure what all its gonna take to recharge it. I will find that out when I start driving it. Cant afford a new compressor. Many times its just the clutch that goes out on a compressor. When mine went out, it slung the clutch into my radiator. I'm gonna need one of those when i get the car going again. I found one on ebay for $62 shipped on ebay. Brand new oem.

Yeah a new compressor is 230-250 plus I heard you need to replace the condensor as well when you change the compressor. Mine is click clacking now when the air is off, but doesnt do it when it is on

 

[atlblue98gt]

may be just the clutch. Price just that at advanced. If you just have to do the clutch you dont have to change the condensor since you dont have to remove compressor.

Got everything together. It has a nice pattern on the gears.

Didnt know so much math was invovled in doing a rearend, LMAO. Got the shims all measured our right though.

just gotta finish brakes tonight, adjust clutch cable, and top off oil and double check everything.

And I have one more mode going on that ill wait and post pics of at the beach. Barely gonna have time for the heat, cool cycles for the rear end before I go to the bach. Should have clutch and flywheel and everything broke it by the time I get back from the beach.
