What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[ttocs]

there was NOTHING on tv tonight so I found myself out in the garage doing some polishing here/there and decided to get some night shots. I have been putting the rest of the interior back together and took the seat covers off for the first time in probably 3-4 yrs to see the leather. I forgot how much I like those seats.

I swear the lighting is not this bright and its just over exposed

I squeezed in the kindigit handle lit up with the puddle light. It makes me grin every time I disarm the alarm.

I have a buddy that lived in Hiawassee for years. I’m surprised to hear the name come up because it seems like such a small town. Looks beautiful.

Your right. It is a beautiful place. North Georgia itself is all around great. Helen nearby, is a Bavarian Style town. Dahlonegah, Blue Ridge, Ellijay; and so many little towns are quaint and nice. Can't remember them all though.

I LOVE 2 toned seats. Nice trick lighting you got there.

Huh I guess you learn something new every day. I’d love to go visit one of these shows especially during fall. I haven’t seen real fall (South Florida doesn’t have anything other than summer lol) in a long time. I’d love to see the trees change color and see the mountains. I was actually talking about a trip to the Carolinas earlier with my gf and she was on board. Maybe not this year but next year.



I’ve heard New Mexico is beautiful especially in the winter and has some nice national parks. I have an aunt in Arizona that I might have to pay a visit lol.

We moved up to Acworth, Georgia 22 years ago, from Ft. Myers, SW Fla. Never regretted a day. Yeah, the middle of summer July and August gets uncomfortable at times, but we get breaks too, during the Summer. The rest of the year my wife and I both love the weather. Even winter is moderate, but gets pretty cold at times too. But, we love it here. And there's so much close by.

I finally got the right parts in and I am able to start putting it back together and there is JUST enough room. Very interesting Alternator Cover! That is an Alternator, RIGHT? Or, Supercharger? I like it either way. HA

Wow what a small world I live in Naples. It’s been a great place to grow up but damn these summers are getting too much. If I wasn’t getting a good job here soon I’d move up to either upstate Georgia or the Piedmont area of North Carolina. I’m sure it wouldn’t take much convincing for my gf because she wants to move out of state anyway lol.

The Garage Floor looks smooth, and NICELY cured. How much more hard work is left?

Funny, back in the early '80s, Naples was part of my Beer Route. From Bonita Springs, all the way to Royal Palm Hammock. GOSH, I hated it.

Looked at the seals above the rear passenger window where the drip was spotted.

All looks Ok but I've plugged a hole anyway to see what happens - can't see where else it would be getting in at the moment...

Strange thing is, it's under the roof line so I just don't get it - gravity says it shouldn't leak where it is...

Lots of work left. Right now I'm making it water tight. Next after that will be some sort of insulation. I think I've already run out of budget for this month though lol

That’s before my time but I know there was nothing here back then. This place has changed so much in my life it’s crazy.

Yeah, a Steel Building does need Insulation. But, Steel is more cost effective.

Boom!! And that's how you get that done!!! Gnna have to wait a day or so to get it back in, I wore meself out just getting the danm thing out!!

Disaster. Not the Mustang, but the Jaguar X-Type.

Took it for it's MoT today - sills were worse than I thought and also the floorplan - quote from the tester "it needs a bloody lot of welding".

Waiting for the bodywork guy to assess it and give his views. Prediction could be £600-£800 - maybe more...

So I've just contacted the insurers for the Mustang and upped the annual agreed mileage by 1,000. Although I've got less than 2-months left to renewal, I've got a couple of longer trips for work, alas.

Got the Bullitt back from getting wet sanded and buffed and finally was able to install the decklid lettering!

Adjusted the hood stops. It was really bothering me to watch the hood wobble. Plus the lines were way off.

Got steering shaft installed on Friday. Sorry so late to post.. wasn't as bad putting it back in as I thought it was gnna be. Sorry didn't get pics, sorta had my hands full at the time. Used a lil antiseize on the upper and lower ends to help it with getting it started. Slid the top part in, then left the steering wheel free so I could get the bottom part lined up. Once it was lined up with the flat on the steering rack I get it started just a bit then tightened up the steering rack back down and was able to lever the shaft down the rest of the way with a prybar then tighten everything down.. Some of you will wanna question the flat part on the steering rack? That's the difference between a foxbody steering rack and a sn-95 steering rack.. the steering rack on a foxbody has a flat spot and splines where the steering shaft attaches to it, the sn-95 rack has all splines and no flat spot! Now you can't tell the difference between them just by looking incase you are getting one that's not on the car!!
