Sorry, I didn't get a chance to go in and check it out.

Hopefully it'll be done next week, though, and we can hang out.

 

so i stopped by the shop again. cars on the ground, and has apparently even driven around inside the shop. new steering rack supposed to be here by tomorrow and that should be it methinks then theres the smog adventure, but i'm confident about that this time around. but anyway, enjoy some more pics



the hole in the hood is much larger now lol. i'm thinking cowl hood


check out them tailpipes



thats right an electric fan! WOOT

and them brakes



also, i saw this car a few years ago, i think there might be some primer pics of it around somewhere, but i saw it again this time when i went into the shop. feast upon this beast







oh yeah and i saw a new charger's rear end, never got to see the nose

also, side by side comparison of the fiesta and mazda2 literally

 

the nitty gritty stuff is killing me

so i got a call last weekend saying ITS DONE! naturall, i was quite jubilant.

then abouut an hour later, a call that said SORRY, it still needs aliggnment

i think to myself, well thats not so bad. it'll just get aligned on monday and i'll pick it up wed when i come back to redwood city. wrong again

the alignment said my lower ball joints were shot and they couldnt trust them to hold an alignment. Idk if its because the ones on my car really were shot, or because they are not the stock mustang II pieces. When i switched to tubular control arms on the bottom, they came with new chrysler type screw in ball joints. in any case, another set is on the way. ordered from speedway motors which if you order before noon has same day shipping.

keep your fingers crossed for me guys. its almost there

 

Hope it gets done soon

 

WOOHOO!!!!! Almost there Arin.

Also about that hood......

I would try for a Cobra R hood. I like those better than a regular cowl hood.

 

It has AC for summer, right?

 

i have 4/40 AC


also turns out the 82gt scoop will cover the bigger hole, according to the shop thus far.

 

I still say Cobra R hood. You cant go wrong with that.

 

you make a very convincing argument. my mind would like to agree with you, but my wallet doesnt

 

post 1990. wow.

 

I want 1990. That's the year I was born.

 

sweet! i got 1989! perfect

 

You have the majority of them so odds were in your favor.

 

I wanted 1991. That was the year I was born.

 

hey at least you got the year of your first car

 

They really arent that much Arin. I bought mine for just over $500 including shipping

 

My real dream is to someday have a 71-73 mach 1 dual ram air sort of setup someday

 

Hmmm I got my hood from Here They got a good selection.

 

so...

the car is done! I just went by a bit ago to see it and hear it. I'll be picking it up in a few hours. the car runs sweet. its a bit quiet, in fact its pretty quiet, but thats fine by me.

whats next is getting it smogged. I went to the CHP office, got the paperwork i needed. I need to make an appointment to go to a referree station, and before that i need to go to the DMV to get a permit to drive it to said smog station whenever that day of the appt is. now its just bureaucracy and paperwork to go lol

 

It livesssssssss
