,,My " gas saver ",is fixed and up and running now ,so my 2007 GT/CS is back inside ,where it belongs ,its all good now ,things happen ,,parts brake after years on the road ,,my 1989 Escort GT has over 200,000 miles on it ,and at times like this ,,putting a few $ 100 in it now ,will save me more money on gas later ,not having to drive my Mustang all the time ,,MY 2007 GT/CS has only 23,000 on it now ,and I got it new in July of 2007 ,,and i think its cheaper for me to spend money replacing parts on the escort ,not my mustang ,,thanks for looking .

,,First time this old pan has been off this car in 24 years from new in 1989 .

,I am changing the intake also with a cleaned up better stock one.

I got the old leaking 24 year old stock "Heater core " out and the new one in now ,, wasn't that bad ,, just push on gas and brake at same time will give you room ,and slide it out from under the dash on drivers side floor ,

ricksGT/CS

Also got the stock oil pickup tube off and cleaned out ,waiting on new gasket to come in , maybe next Wednesday before I got all parts ,,had to clean the stock EGR unite out ,,ordered new gasket for it also ,the one that go's on the intake manifold .

ricksGT/CS

I've been cleaning and high temp heat painting parts that will go back on the car ,over the last week . ,,Thanks for looking in ,,more pictures to come soon .

ricksGT/CS

I got the better oil pan and new gasket also - ( with a new oil pikeup tube and gasket ) on yesterday and the lower heater metal heater tube ,, " its been raining and very cold here in the south over the last week " ,, the car is outside on my driveway on one side of it ,,I'm taking pictures as I go ,so when I post the pictures you will see all this ,,,, No parts just laying around in part stores ,for this year of car (1989),, ,so if I need something ,,it takes a few days to get it in . as always ,,thanks for looking in
