Project 5-lug has begun

[281pony]

did you physically go walk the yard? they told me they had like 4 stang's in the range i was looking for.

i walked the yard and there were 3 cars not listed. also, one 92 notch was listed as being a 95 mustang. they aren't very organized it seems.

 

[lancec2c30]

I walked the whole extra yard around back where most of the fox's were, Then the ford section where they keep the SN-95 cars.
I didn't feel like spending 3 hours trying to surf that whole place, so I went home and ordered the plug with my door bushing kit.

 

[lancec2c30]

Over the last few days I got my 3-2 port and proportioning valve installed, along with that stupid little FMS plug.

I bled the brakes 2 times, only to determine that the master cylinder I got out of the 94 was bad. So I'm just waiting on that to come in. Then I should FINALLY be done with this project.

As the car sits now, these wheels just irritate me. They are in such bad shape, I'm going to blast them and spray them gloss black.

i think you should spray them dark gunmetal gray, something you dont normally see

 

[GSP393]

I love how it looks.

Oh it's still there, lol. I still have to pull the motor and trans. out of it before I take it to scrap. So I need to make room by getting this coupe done.

I media blasted the wheels yesterday, and taped them up today. I will probably get primer on them tonight.

 

[LarsD]

Looks great! I didn't think your parts car looked too bad, until I saw the passenger side. It is kinda a piece isn't it?

 

[lancec2c30]

It's really a piece. The front bumper over was held on solely by zip-ties and the exhaust consisted of 2 cherry bombs welded right off the down pipe's of the stock h-pipe. Lmao.

lol! Man some people just shouldn't touch cars at all.

 

[lancec2c30]

Wheels are primered. And I'm still waiting for my master cylinder. The car has been on jack-stands for 20 days now, I just want to drive the **** thing. Lol.

 

[Shaolin Crane]

gunmetal gray, gunmetal gray, gunmetal gray, gunmetal gray....

 

[lancec2c30]

I can't say I didn't try, went to shuck's and Napa in search of that dupli-color grey. But nobody had it.
So.... I had to go gloss black, they turned out alright. Clear coat fish eyed in a few places.

Good catch.

The line is actually plugged off just as it drops behind the upper intake.

IIRC, my car sat on jack stands for something like 40 days while I did my swap. Little stuff always pops up, and I'm a perfectionist at the same time I'm a scrooge, so I'm sure I'm on the high end. The wait is worth it, my friend.
