Boy 'o boy!! I just got into work. I skated in at about 9ish. I went out to Lansing last night to visit my girlfriend. We went out to dinner and then met up with her old roommates from last year. They are party girls, but they are the nicest group of girls as well. Man, I have a fuzzy feeling in the head this morning. (Hoegarden and Budweiser) Got to bed at 2am and left there at 7am to drive about 100 miles here to work. I just ate, so I feel better, but WOW, college towns are CRAZY!!! Lines down the street at every single bar!!!

I need to open a bar down there, cover at every bar and even though people complain about it, they pay it, it doesn't matter. Two bucks, five bucks, whatever, there are people in there they want to be around.

Don't worry guys, work will get done today!!! Nothing can stop me now!

Yeah, but you had the choice to buy another Stang with the money you got from the Insurance Company. Instead, you decided to be "practical" and buy a POS exploder which probably gets the same if not worse gas mileage than the Stang.

i get 290 to a tank of gas...15.1 gallons.

i get 290 to a tank of gas...15.1 gallons.

Excellent choice on the wheels.

[S&B]

any engine bay pix. I cant stop looking at it, its just perfect looks like it rolled off the line yesterday

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

Thanks boys! I really appreciate it. You have all been great to talk to and I will whore the crap out of it when it's 100% detailed.

I put about 75 miles on it Saturday, and then today about 10 miles in the rain. I had to drive it to work today since I left my truck at work. The wipers quit working, and I freaked out. I fixed it though, the little clip that holds the wiper arm onto the motor came off. Luckly it was only that.

It drives great. The new clutch is very grabby when I hammer it, and very smooth while driving like a normal human being. It handles WAY better than my 91 notch. It was worth all the new bushings, ball joints, tie rods, etc....plus I have the 2001 rack & pinion with the 2001 steering shaft, and firewall bearing, so that is also a big help. The car has more turning radius too. I can pull U-turns and turn around much faster. It rides nice, and surprisingly the interior has no squeaks and rattles like my 91 has.

Engine bay pics coming soon, it's filthy right now. I am gonna detail it after the smell of the fresh paint I put on it burns off.

A couple more odds and ends and it is 100%. I have about 3 interior peices left to modify and install, and give it a final detail under the hood, interior and exterior. But for the most part, it is clean and presentable.



As I said before, I will create large before and after thread specifically for Hack Job, but here's a teaser......
