New horn and front springs!

Finally got back to working on the Mustang today. Took a bit of a break after life took a bit of break from me.

While shopping at Harbor Freight today, I saw in the open-box section a Wolo Bad-Boy air horn [http://www.amazon.com/Wolo-419-Bad-Boy-Horn/dp/B000F5DQWY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423363337&sr=8-1&keywords=wolo+bad+boy+horn]
I had bought the same one at Harbor Freight shortly after I bought my CTX700 after having too many idiots not pay any attention to the little pip-horn that was one there. With the Bad-Boy they got the message! Seeing it in the Open-Box section I figured why not? I brought it home (Well to home #2, in-between houses at the moment) and tested it out, and thankfully it worked! After installing the wooden steering wheel and reading a lot of reviews saying how you will want to run your horns off a relay or the horn button will spark a lot, I decided this would be perfect. It’s a nice loud horn and has a relay! The other nice part is that when I ran the feed for the cold air intake I had to take off one of the two OEM horns and with only one, you could barely hear it. This should fix that right up!

Before heading off to Harbor Freight however, I got down and dirty with the front suspension. I had bought a set of front springs on Amazon for $18 (I think it was a mistake as shortly after I bought them the price shot up to $81). I also decided while I was at it I would buy new insulators as my old ones were non-existent. Today I was only able to do the driver side, and what a pain it was. I don’t remember it being so difficult when I removed them last time, but at least the one is in, and I think should work great! It lifts the nose up at least 2 or 3 inches so you can actually see the space between the wheel and wheel well, unlike before when the wheel well slightly covered the wheel. Hopefully tomorrow or next weekend I will be able to do the other side as well as take it to get some new tires. I mean at the moment I have one good tire, the other three are bald and the one has a small section where the belt shows, like the previous owners of the tires had locked up the wheel or something.
