New Parts

I got the car Monday completely stock and what seemed to be completely un-maintained. I took some time to lift the car up and explore every bit of it. I also got my WMW ignition package in today, with an upper Aero Grill and a lip splitter.









Does it look like my power steering is failing? it whines louder than the SC

A loud whine noise in the older power steering pumps is normal. The one in my old '02 MCS did the same thing. Fords were notorious for that, too.
