nice werk! Those wheels look to be in good shape in that first picture. Also I used spray foam in spots on my trunk lid. It seemed to help kill some unwanted sound

 

They were, and it had all 4 of them, but they wanted too much money. Not to say they weren't fair priced, just right now I don't have the money for wheels.

Wish I did.

What parts of the trunk? Pics?

 

It's coming along really great austin. Nice job.

 

#1 way to fix a P0401 code used to be to replace the DPFE sensor, something not hard to do, just gotta get a new sensor

 

Thank you sir!

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

 

Got my remote fob in from late model resto last night.





And got it programmed today too.

 

Got a little more work done over the weekend.

Picked up a steamer Saturday and the wife and I got to peeling tint Saturday evening.



You may remember what the tint originally looked like and why it had to go. It was actually unsafe, couldn't see a **** thing out the back.





Coming off fairly well.




Sunday after church I picked up some of this stuff and went over the my buddy's house.

Sprayed the rear windshield down with it, it was ok. Bout the same as goo gone.


While that was going to town I took the hood off and went to town removing the cowl cover. That leak that was around the ECU, it was time to fix.


Cowl covers pretty straight forward, get the clips out and it just pulls right off.



And here we can see why it was leaking, one of the grommets had rotted so much that it just fell out apparently.



And it was a little gross so I sprayed it down and went back to work on getting the tint and goo off.





Came back and cleaned it all up


This is what the grommets should look like compared to one of the ones I pulled from my car. No wonder they were leaking.



After I had that all done and the hood back on I finished up the goo on the rear windshield. At which point I realized I'm apparently missing the cover for the child restraint thing.

 

Is there anything - anything at all - the previous owner of this car had not jacked-up, filth-ified, or train-wrecked?

 

I tried to miss those for a reason...the filth just made me want to find this person and take a noodle and smack them with it, and I figured its going to have to be removed at least twice to get the amount of filth out, as for the mold...steam will help...just be sure you are wearing a mask with respirator!!

I am just happy to see the Mustang getting cleaned up and much needed TLC and hope the best for it!!

 

No, I noticed when cleaning the other day that there was red dirt behind the door panel, so that's going to need to come off soon too.

You might like the posts on it. It was probably the parts I put the most effort into.
Post 47 pulling interior out

Post 92 Cleaning the carpet

Anyway, I got the mold out a long time ago. Basically if you don't want to go back and look at the pics, I soaked the carpet in vinegar to neutralize the mold, let it sit in the sun. Scraped all the jute off the back, then took a pressure washer and scrub brush and some peroxide mixed with dawn dish soap and cleaned the carpet. It actually came out really good after I was done.

 

good glad you got the nasty mold out!! that black mold is the worst!! the car is looking very good and I think I may look for ideas to do my car now!

 

The car is looking better every day.

 

Seriously, this car and austin should be recognized by the forum staff for how far it has come, how much it has improved and how much work he has done to it. Great job.

 

Lookin good so far!!

 

I don't know about all that, seems a little much. I do greatly appreciate the compliment though.

 

Got some real work done yesterday.







At least this time it was cleaner when I got all the interior out.



So I took this stuff



And went to work.





After the final coat on the driver's side


Time to get the passenger side








Well that needed a few hours to drive so I figured in the mean time I'd try to work on my shifter.

So I took the whole thing apart



And found this in the bottom



Some all purpose and this to blow it out



Figured I'd start taking the rest of it apart, in hopes of fixing the gear indicator.







But then I got frustrated with it so I moved on to the upkeep stuff.







Still needed more time to dry so I got my bumper grill put in. Looks better. Not my favorite grill but at least it's a matching honeycomb as the top grill.




Well now it dried. Time to get the boom mat in.





Measured it out at about 20 inches across, though if you are doing this I suggest you measure yourself.





Driver's side done.


Passenger side done.




I did succeed in losing the screw that holds my shifter handle in, as well as breaking the shifter indicator. Unfortunately I stepped on it and it is now in two pieces, so I'm pretty sure I'm just going to replace the shifter all together in the not too distant future.

Now everytime I touch the shifter it wants to do this.



On a better note, I did also pick up some mats for free. They aren't the red ones I want, and I don't really like rubber mats, but for free I couldn't complain until I buy the red ones I want.

 

How well does that spray on stuff work, and does it have an odor?

 

Now let me take a moment to give my personal review for this dei boom mat spray.



This stuff is a no good waste of money. Not the tiniest bit of noise reduction. The ONLY place I noticed any difference was the trunk, and to be honest, it wasn't enough to matter.

As for the inside of the car, I assumed that by doubling up, doing two coats of DEI spray AND using the dei boom mat I would surely notice some difference. None whatsoever. My wife road in the car with me and asked if I had even done anything at all.

DO NOT waste your money on a dei product. I will never be buying any of this again. Might as well throw your money out the window.

 

That sucks, sorry to hear that

 

So yesterday my deck lid black out panel came in. I don't think it looks quite as good as my wife's mach 1 style panel, but it still looks pretty decent. Hers was also $130, and mine I had a lucky find on ebay, so I can't complain.



So that made me feel a bit better. I think that black out panel just changes the look of the rear so much!


Got my seats fixed up really nice today. You may remember what they looked like before.

PASSENGER SEAT



DRIVER'S SEAT





The red was so dull too. When you looked at the back seat you could tell a huge difference.




Working on filling in the cracks in the leather and vinyl.



And here's how they came out! I'm pretty excited.

PASSENGER SEAT




DRIVER'S SIDE



So shiny red! I love it!




They aren't perfect, but they are loads better than they were. Eventually I want to replace the the two middle leather inserts, with black leather to make the seats two tone.
