So as of today there has been a change in plans. Originally we had intended to use the '00 Mustang front knuckles we purchased. The problem with them as we've discovered is that they have built in caster that does not play well with the Contour upper strut mount. We've been doing some cross breeding with Nissan S13 parts for a camber solution on the track car, and have decided to rob a few more parts from the S13 to be incorporated into the front suspension of the RWD car.....Just once more vehicle to add to the spreadsheet of what to order replacement parts for when something wears out on this build. Now, with our front subframe design we intend to use off the shelf available mustang tubular LCA's up front, something at may cost us a few hundred bucks, but save a ton of time in the long run. It's still amazing to me how much of this build will consist of off the shelf available parts. it makes life a lot easier on my end.
As far as deadlines/goals, we will have a booth at the StanceWI yearly show again and intend to have the car there, with the front end 100%. Not only that, but we hope to have it wired and running, wich means all that would remain is to order and mod/install the rear end, and have a driveshaft built(obviously that's made to sound way simpler than it will be, but still) RWD Contour in 2012 or bust!
