Prokiller Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 don't have any pictures of it since it looks the same as the above ones, but the driver's seat is now mounted up. we painted the brackets black like i mentioned above. ended up that one of the seat's bolts was cross threaded from the factory so we couldn't finish up the pass side. i don't have metric tap/die set yet so have to wait until my dad brings his set down and a new bolt.

Prokiller Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 got stuff done on this on saturday. Took it down to my dad's friends shop and used his lift. brought my the midpipe off my old red 94 that i kept for just such a case. it only had 50k miles when i took it off so it's practically new. worlds better than the one we took off. the shield plates were literally falling off. i set the pipe down and two of them fell off. also discovered a couple things while it was up in the air. The pass side o2 sensor was broken, so that got replaced. Also there is a transmission fluid leak at the radiator so i'll need to drain that and fix those lines. It was in the plan anyway to replace the trans filter and fluid anyway, this is just another thing to do while that's getting done. It was actually a quart low too. the whole underside of the engine was still pretty nasty so we sprayed the hell out of it with brake clean. surprisingly, the catback bolts came right off. the header bolts weren't too bad except for bottom one on the pass side (by the o2). the 20 times of PB blaster hadn't helped a lick. ended up having to bust the torch out and heat that thing up to glowing to break it lose. new setup went in easy with the exception of the EGR pipe. that thing wasn't going on far at all. we heated it up to get it off but had already put the torches away and didn't feel like busting them out again. we'll get that on more secure when we do the trans work. all installed. yes the tips are dirty. i should have been cleaning them up for the past month but didn't. i'll take them off and try and polish them. sunday i tried seeing what kind of headache it was going to be to recover the sun visors. i got all the old stuff of one and tried to separate it but it's held on by expanding foam. so either i hacksaw it apart or i try to make a cover to just go over it as is and just heavily glue around the mirror part. i'm thinking the later is the better option. i have a yard of black fleece that i was going to use. it was closest to the stock fabricy feel stuff i could find.

Prokiller Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 went and visited some other mustang schlepps. if we had gotten the snow storm we were supposed to get, i was going to try and do the gas tank filler gasket but since we got nothing, that will have to wait until this weekend.

Prokiller Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 replaced the gas tank filler grommet yesterday. was getting late to completely finish it. just have to put the trunk panels back in and put the wheel back on it and put it on the ground. that's the last thing that needed to be done before getting it inspected. well other than finishing the pass side seat.

Prokiller Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 got a few things done on this this past weekend. The idler pulley bearing was going and making some noise so replaced that. Also checked the timing. it was at like 4 degrees base. so that would explain why this thing couldn't even get out of its own way. the idle even sounded off a bit. bumped it up to 12 degrees and it sounds so much better now. both at idle and with some throttle. revs cleaner. i'm thinking the previous owner or whoever timed it without pulling the spout.

White letters on Jeeps, trucks, wrinkle wall slicks, Nascars, RWB Porsches, and sticky Hoosiers are fine with me. Everything else I personally think it looks like garbage but to each his own. I don't talk shit to people when I see it done, but I would never compliment it. It doesn't really matter what I think, it's not like I have to do it to mine lol.

On a muscle car, raised white letters look period correct and right at home. I used to have white lettered tires on my old 90 blazer in highschool/college and I thought they looked great.

Should be done just in time for the nice weather to roll in! that was definitely the plan and hence to push to get it done. i have a few other parts to throw at it for appeal, but cleaning up the paint and getting it inspected are the priorities. i have a styling bar and lowering springs for it that i'll throw on if i get time before it sells.

Prokiller Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 finished up the passenger seat. the old rail had to be welded a bit because it wasn't locking in. That's all done now. All that's left is a coat of wax and then off to inspection. i have to give it a good once over cleaning interior and engine again but that's no biggie. i'm hoping to actually have it inspected this week yet.

Prokiller Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 car is finally inspected. had a small problem with the fog lights not coming on but ended up just being some corrosion on the connectors from not being plugged into anything for whoever the hell knows how long. i wiped them down before plugging them up but apparently not good enough. going to finish waxing it up tonight and giving it a good solid detailing. here's hoping it clears up outside so that i can take it out to get some good pictures to list it for sale. at this point, there are only a small To-Do list:-detail exterior/interior/engine bay-get small tear in the top patched (supposedly going to do it friday if it's not raining)-put sun visors back on-replace distributor on the distributor topic, we timed the car a couple weeks back (don't remember if i said this or not), and it was at like 4 degrees base. upped it to 12 and it sounds and runs better. but it still doesn't have the power that i think it should. we're kind of thinking it's the PIP and it's just easier/quicker/nicer to just replace the whole thing. just going to go with an advanced auto rebuilt one and see what it does.

Prokiller Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 finished waxing it last night. realized it's probably better to give the car a good wash before doing a full out detail on it. so that will happen after i get the top patched.
