I am getting this car 150% mechanically perfect so when it goes back up for sale, no one can say there is anything wrong with it so i am doing a complete tune-up. I have some things that i know for a fact that i am having done and i was just wondering if anyone else could suggest or recommend to add.

new fuel pump
fuel filter
fuel pressure regulator
new motocraft plugs
MSD cap+rotor
MSD wires
MSD blaster 2 coil
new oil and oil filter
New o2 sensors
coolant flush
new belt
new pads and rotors
tranny flush

is there anything i am missing or should re-think?

I paint my own. Here is the thing with your laser red....do the whole car. You will never be happy with the match of that color. That color will be a nice chunk of change too.
