Got the stainless braided lines and think I went too short from the pump to the filter. So the '65 is basically taking a nap until April/May.In other news, picked up another little "project". This will be keeping me busy until spring...<a href="http://s875.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Down_Ebay/media/IMG_20160128_120439164_HDR.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab318/Tango_Down_Ebay/IMG_20160128_120439164_HDR.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s875.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Down_Ebay/media/IMG_20160128_120432861_HDR.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab318/Tango_Down_Ebay/IMG_20160128_120432861_HDR.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Jetta wheels FTW (I really do like 'em, wish I could find the same in 5 lug; or just get TSW Nurburgings)<a href="http://s875.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Down_Ebay/media/IMG_20160128_120550460.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab318/Tango_Down_Ebay/IMG_20160128_120550460.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s875.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Down_Ebay/media/IMG_20160128_120527686.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab318/Tango_Down_Ebay/IMG_20160128_120527686.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s875.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Down_Ebay/media/IMG_20160128_120039928_HDR.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab318/Tango_Down_Ebay/IMG_20160128_120039928_HDR.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>So, as it sits (to my knowledge), it's a 1968 Coupe with I6. Ran well before paint. Basically, the guy I got this off of went through all the trouble of removing all trim, stripping the paint, respraying and clearing it just to decide he had too many projects going on. Judging by the five cool cars he had, pretty believable! My plans for this are really straight forward; convert front to disc (MustangSteve Caliper Mount with 13" 94-04 Cobras), get it running, reassemble interior and trim. Here's the first part run. I may update with something tomorrow too as I've got to return the wheel studs. I gave the guy the PN for disc studs and got drum studs. Didn't find out until I went to have them pressed.<a href="http://s875.photobucket.com/user/Tango_Down_Ebay/media/IMG_20160128_122541651.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab318/Tango_Down_Ebay/IMG_20160128_122541651.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>So some might wonder what I'm going to do with the '65. Well. Nothing right now lol. My plan in the spring is convert all fuel lines to stainless braided, change fuel filter, take out old rad with hole and drop in new rad from Howe racing. Will prob end up doing upper and lower hoses while I'm at it. But that's not even on my mind. I just want the '65 to run reliably, none of this "something broke" shit every two weeks. I'm sure the car will still have the axle popping noise by then, but we'll get there when we get there.</blockquote>
