RIP - You will be missed
Felt I needed just a tad more bumpstop to chassis clearance. Plugged the bottoms of the holes with 1/4" vacuum plugs, cemented in with whatever I had handy that could still be squeezed out of the tube.

I'm never going to use the soft two adjustments even if I keep this bar, so . . . and the reason for doing this may become clear a little later after some other DIY mod gets done.

Just a hint of why I'm doing any of this ↓↓↓ . . . and the jack is not lifting the pumpkin (I've adapted the jack's pad to accommodate a HF spreader bar - worked just fine but needed the 4x4 blocks because I wasn't going to completely remove the sta-bar).

Cleaned it and threw on my GT500 look alike wheels and tires. I think my left rear tpms sensor has gone bad. Can't get that one to register...

Nothing special but she's mine.

Nothing like saying it's all mine. And they are all special to the owner.

Bought a super cheap orbital and did a quick polish of the paint. I didn't get all the swirls out, but close enough. The clear coat looks much more....clear! I used meguires ultimate compound. This little cheepie will speed up the waxing jobs too.

Not exactly done to my mustang but I had the sharpies on hand to do a tri-bar pony so I decorated my plain helmet. Using it tomorrow for Autocross. It'll be 70 degrees, which is as warm as it gets in April here in new england.

Took it out to cars and coffee today. Had a friend bring my Fairlane, first time I've had them out together.

Nice! Weather wasn't bad today. Decide if you're gonna pulley down and get another tune?
I'm looking into dropping a couple pulley sizes and running a wastegate, help pick up some low and mid range power. If I do that I'll probably do a remote tune with Lund.

My problem ended up being a shot pinion bearing. So naturally everything is being replaced since I have over 100k miles and I'm putting in steeper gears. Somewhat expensive fix but everything in the rear will be new except the axles lol.

Ran my head bolts to the machine shop to be used for the torque plate.

Knowing I need new bolts, but if they use the gasket's with the torque plates can they be re-used or need new head gasket and bolts?

Installed a new steering rack and a McLeod clutch line. The clutch line surprisingly was a huge upgrade! Much smoother shifts.
