Mainly just took random pictures today, focused on the tear down. While doin that, I did find some things out about the car.

Mostly bad :deeplist:

Pypes M80 mufflers:




Both tires on the passenger side are split:




Bent core support:






The interior needs some minor touches like a new radio bezel, both outer ac vents, carpet and floor mats. I can deal with all of that for the time being.






What is a good way to remove this?



Project #1: Clutch job!!


Really Ford? SIX CATS???







Wait on the clutch job he said... I'd drive it like it is he said...

Did some tie-wrap faggotry








Polished my tips








In lieu of the split tires, I robbed the unicorn for the Konigs





Put on the wing from the unicorn





Installed my /////Alpine cd player, bottom slot of course





Filled it up, washed it, drove it home and shot a preliminary exhaust video

It probably won't get lowered beyond this:

 

Not a bad set of ideas Bob-O.. I just have to wind up with it first

 

Sealed the deal on the 98 GT!!


I take delivery Thursday evening.

 

Tell me about it... The quagmired IRS project... Stupid budget appropriation committee keeps shifting capital project funds around to their pet projects.

 

I'm going to put the IRS into this car.


Hopefully this thread doesn't get as ridiculous as my other one.
