Yes!!

Well, the MM Strut Tower Brace was a complete pain to install. I'm sure it is a great piece of hardware, but wow. The installation could be done without the crazy adventures MM puts you through.

That's the only update I have to the list from this weekend. It took much longer than expected and we ran out of [already pressed] time.

More to come...

 

[CatmanJJ]

Nice, I bet your car handles on rails.

No sir. She's still in desperate need of a buffing and I don't want to share filthy shots with the masses.

MMs instructions are useless. it says to tie your hood to the steering wheel?? what kind of tip is that?

No sir. She's still in desperate need of a buffing and I don't want to share filthy shots with the masses.

ugg, looks like a solid day of buffing is needed to bring back the luster. maybe next time out i will have more time to devote to the project.

Let me move in with you Tim. I will use the Porter Cable on your car once a month. The car will always shine better then new

I understand. We'll see them soon enough I'm sure.

Where is a good place to pick up a cowl cover? ....other than the Ford dealership parts counter, that is. The one on the car now is faded, brittle, and cracked in a few spots.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, mates.

MPS or eBay or on a random forum classified
