Got something new....and its cool

My OCD is screaming "clean those friggin inner fender splash shields"...and the brakes look awesome.
Believe me, I hear you. I will get after all of this little stuff after I get the car mobile. I currently can't move it in and out of the garage since it has no brakes. Today I am finishing the rear 5 lug swap then will bleed the brakes etc. I have new door weatherstrip, emblems, and I am going to paint the mirrors, door handles etc. I am going to try and buff the paint and see if it shines up. Then I will have a paintless dent guy I know address some of the minor dings.

Got the rear all done today. Just waiting for my replacement master cylinder from Amazon. They shipped it to California, then it arrived here in Honolulu.....then it went BACK to California. Wtf??
 
This is kinda funny. Back around 1994 when my friend owned this car, i remember riding in it with him to go grab food. I remember it pulled way better than mine and I asked why. He tells me about his friend who worked in the service dept at Windward Ford. His friend claimed there was "noise" coming from the rear end so under warranty his friend "fixed" it. Yeah, he fixed it by putting 4:10s in the rear end. Still there....

Now that’s a really good friend!

Amazon shipments can do that same crap here and I usually end up having to reorder it so keep an eye on the tracking.

Got a lot done today.

How's this spare? It's like an NOS 10 hole with the original tire

Car is looking friggin' awesome man! Interesting spare and have never seen that but being an SSP car that may have been part of the package? My 93 Coupe came with the traditional 4 lug black steel wheel that got replaced by an SN95 five lug black steel one. Still not special….damnit.

Only the SSP cars came with a full size spare. That warning decal on the inside of the rim was only used on SSP car spare tires.
