    Full car tune-up

    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.

    yea you either do the whole thing or wait till you have the money to do the whole thing because that paint will NEVER match
