SWEET!!!
The car is off and running with the five speed. Truly the one most significant change I can possibly think of to change the personality of a cars drivability. Yes, engines are big, rear gear changes will bring smiles to your faces, and obviously painting will bound to make the masses happy..... but finally getting to dump the automatic for the ability to row my gears once again is a joy I can't compare to.
And it lasted all of about 15 minutes.......
I blew the upper radiator hose and dumped the whole cooling system on the road and my windshield. Bummer. Luckily we duct taped the hose and scored some water roadside to be able to limp her home.
Replaced the hose the next day and she's ready to rock.
I'm still waiting for my shifter ball (well over a week now) from Sacremento Mustang.... so shifting is kind of painfull on the fingers.
The car just feels so more alive..... I'm one happy camper....
