Was wondering how many other people are like me with a bunch of uninstalled parts that haven't been installed for whatever reason. Looking at parts that are not replacement parts, like changing out the iac, crank sensor, water pump, etc. List what you got lying around to be installed and why it hasn't been installed.

FOR ME,
1. INSTALL MY COLD AIR DIVIDER THAT IS CUSTOM. NEED TO CUT THE OVAL HOLE NEAR FILTER INTO A LARGE 3.5 TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR METAL TUBE.
2. LARGE AIR FILTER. MAKES K&N 9" LOOK SMALL.
3. 80 C&L.
4. 85MM MP TB.
5. MP PLENUM.
6. S - MODEL SC.
7. RAISED TOP.
8. HAVE 10, 7, AND 5% OD SC PULLEYS.
9. 10% JS PULLEY.
10. ALL NEW BELTS. WAITING ON RADIATOR INSTALL.
11. 50LB INJECTORS.
12. 8.5MM WIRES AND METAL WIRE LOOMS.
13. KW DOUBLE IC.
14. 2 8" PERMA COOL FANS. NEED TO GET WIRING.
15. RACEWARE ALUM. RADIATOR. AND HAVE ALL NEW HOSES FOR INSTALL.
16. MP TENSIONER SPRINGS.
17. KOOKS MIDLEGTH HEADERS.
18. FABRICATED EXHAUST FROM HEADERS BACK.
19. 255LB FUEL PUMP.
20. RACETRONIX UPGRADED FUEL PUMP WIRING KIT.
21. ALUM. LARGER CAPACITY TRANS PAN. (JUST GOT IT)
22. CASE OF ROYAL PURPLE ATF.
23. TRANS. COOLER. NEED TO GET HOSE, CLAMPS, ETC. (JUST GOT IT)
24. DD SCT CHIP.
25. UPPER ENGINE GASKET KIT. NEED TO CHANGE OUT VALVE COVER GASKETS. DRIVERS SIDE HAS SMALL LEAK.
26. AUTOLITE 103'S.
27. 180 THERMOSTAT.
28. BATTERY RELOCATION KIT TO TRUNK.

WOW, LOOKS WORSE WHEN I WRITE THEM DOWN. MOST ITEMS ARE IN A CLOSET IN THE HOUSE THAT I DON'T LOOK AT. ALSO, ALMOST HAVE ALL PARTS NEEDED FOR MUSTANG LUG CONVERSION (SET OF BLACK SALEEN SPEEDSTARS) AND CONSIDERING GETTING IN ON THE GROUP BUY FOR THE MP 10% CRANK PULLEY. SURE I'M LEAVING SOME PARTS OUT BESIDES STUFF LIKE EXTRA A/C COMPRESSOR, ETC. ALMOST ALL MY PARTS HAVEN'T GONE ON DUE TO NOT KNOWING HOW TO INSTALL OR TO BE INSTALLED WHEN OTHER PARTS ARE INSTALLED. ALSO, HAVING TROUBLE FINDING A GOOD MECHANIC THAT KNOW'S WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH THESE CARS.

IF IT'S A 13 SEC CAR WITH THESE PARTS INSTALLED IT'S PROLLY HIGH 13'S. BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HOPEFULLY NEXT INCOME TAX GETTING SOME DD HEADS AND CAM. AFTER THAT I AM SURE I'LL BE REALLY HAPPY.
 
i got 6 14/14/40 inch boxes with small parts. 1 4/4/10 ft crate with large parts, an sc, heads, and intake in vacuum rap

and still dont have enough parts
 
......................

thought I found a good exhaust shop but apparently its like all the other junk places. have a guy that can put blower on for me but need exhaust done 1st. wouldn't want to have to do head gaskets right now.
 
Being a yougin', I usually put all my stuff in as soon as I get it. However, I still need to find a suitable tank for my methanol kit, so that's the only thing I have laying around at the moment.
 
-Upper and lower control arms with ball joints
-Powdercoated LECB and RSFB bracing (have had these for three years)
-Finalize radiator shrouding
 
- 3inch Exhaust - need cats and down tubes made up
- 42# injectors - need calibrated MAF
- Power Steering Pump
- clear Corner headlights
- Rear Red Light/Reflector
- Soon to come - Polished Idler Pulleys
 
Hmmmmmm....where to start.

SC
1)357 on the stand. Thats the entire thing from carb to tailpipe. I will count that as 1. Air bags 2. 'luminum LCAs 3. Diffy 4. Hood 5 (and it has not even been cut yet). N20 6.

That is my "get by" engine until the other two are done and I can build the 3.8 the way I want.

White car
Heads and cams. Call that one...screw it. the new 'luminum engine that is lying in the corner (need a set of NPI pistons for it to start). Call that 1. Converter under the table 2. Put the 3.73s back in 3. Headers/full exhaust 4. Throttle and cruise with the modified bracket 5.

FSB
HGs 1. Rino lining 2. Sound deadner 3. SC 4. Carpet 5. Solid axle/lift 6.

Need I go on?

SWS
 
Ok lets see. I just put the H&R lowering springs that I purchased over a year ago into my 94 SC last weekend. Here's some of the stuff I have laying around waiting for install.

KW double intercooler 94SC
intercooler fan 94SC
short parallel flow AC condenser from American Condenser 94SC
89 SC rear swaybar 94SC
one fatshaft haftshaft 94 SC
new Webasto moonroof seals 94 & 95 SCs
auto window down module's 94 & 95 SC's

There's more I'm sure but I can't think of it all right off hand.
 
Not counting all the things to make it look pretty before car shows...
Auto Window Down Modules
Custom FMIC
Cobra 13in brakes
Stainless steel brake lines
Koni Inf. Adj. shocks
Mark VIII Control arms
AMW PCV Oil Separator
Rod's RSTB

Innovate Motorsports LMA-3 and LC-1
Dynotech 3.5in Alum. DS
Boston Acoustic Components (I still need to find an amp)
MP 15% OD Pulleys
And perhaps a new, very pretty SC. I can't tell you what it is though.

Show off. Well, I won't be having a whipple, but let's just say, I am getting away from S-Port that's on there now. :D
And I forgot to mention the Griffin Radiator.
If you don't mind me asking, did you do all the polishing yourself? If so, where did you get your supplies?
