FINALLY made room for it in the garage...

is that seriously a mustang II........?

It's a 1979

still jealous, even more so now

Well it's been almost 2 months since my last post... which means I must have been hard at work .
Got a new windshield washer reservoir. Much needed I think haha



Painted the block black. Ford Blue blocks are dime a dozen and can look really good when done right, but I just didn't feel like that was for me.

Had to CLEAN THE LIVING HELL out of the T5 and Bellhousing before paint. Those scotch green scrubby things work wonders.


All of that work cleaning it, and I paint it an awkward tin man looking color. LMAO. That'll teach me to buy a grey looking engine enamel from fleet farm. Off to advance I go.

prob the only person on this forum doing their own work, nice to see

Cable clutch installed, and the windshield washer reservoir.


Everything painted and mocked up. Looks clean enough for me


Much better lol.

Very big difference between the two...


Came home from work one day and my dad had it sitting in there for me. Thanks dad.

What a couple of days off can do to a mustang.


And of course I knew it was going to happen going into this project, clutch cable rubbing on the headers.


A very TEMPORARY fix for now. Plan on fabricating an actual bracket to hold it off of the headers. But yeah. Drove it down the street like this.


So that's where this project is at. I have a magnaflow 2.5" exhaust system on the way that'll hopefully be going in this weekend. Next is putting the body back together (might spray paint the car black to get me through the summer, I can't afford my dream paint job yet ). Anyways once body is back together and lights are in/working again I'll be title ing it. Can't wait to ACTUALLY drive this thing.
