The Mustang shenanigans of a Bavarian

[GriffX]

@ DE Marcus... why did you punch the VIN into the rocker panel ??? The shocktower is a much better place.. also if you think about the damage you made concerning the rust protection,

It is always wet there. ....
Do you have HID?
Now you can start to make the suspension Autobahn ready

..HID started in 2008. His GT is from 2007.. so no HID ( I think )

Honestly, being swedish and reading about your shitfight against authorities makes me…Well…Worried…? Pissed off…? Happy that we don’t have all of these stupid regulations yet…?

Sweden have had very good regulations for all kind of classic cars for a long time. Regulations completely different from the rest of EU and completely independent from TÜV. We have been one of few european countries where importing an old american car or building your own hot rod has never been a problem.

But this is apparently ”under investigation” from some jackasses in Brussels…Of course, this little country on top of Europe can’t be allowed to do their own thing…They also have to follow and praise Dictator Ursula…!

Sometimes I wonder if we would not have been better off just staying outside this god darn union and the idiocrazy that comes with it…?

Germany is just allergic to change. We've done things this way for 1000 years and that's why we won't do anything different. Doesn't matter how idiotic it is.

And if you have anything the slightes bit out of the norm in Germany you are just straight ****ed. Has to go through 100 different people because no one can just use common sense.....
Because things that aren't DIN-regulated aren't real, they're just scary stories.

There's a reason we use the phrases "Welcome to Germany" or "That's just Germany" to describe such things because there's literally no reason why things go the way they do....
Honestly there's only two reasons I'm still in this Country. My Parents and Unlimited Autobahn. (and maybe being to lazy to learn another language)

1. I didn't even wanna do that.
2. I don't wanna see what I was forced to do every time I open the hood.
3. Because even my TÜV guy told me on the shock tower it's ugly as **** (plus new Corvettes do it there from factory) and also.... I'm different than other girls.
4. We already put transparent foil over it so no water/humidity can get to it. A bunch of paint chipped off there so I wouldn't have even considered leaving that exposed for a second.
The trim pieces infront and behind the door sill trim have already been rubbing the paint away. I'd rather introduce problems there than in the ****ing engine bay where not even the bolt heads have rust on them.
5. Next year the car will be sent to get full paint repair, underbody/cavity cleaning and coating, PPF and everything else I can possibly do. They'll go over that spot aswell and get it all fixed up and factory looking (apart from my horrible punching job)

Like I said it won't stay like that. Also it's behind the door rubber and I barely have people riding passenger AND there won't be many times I'll drive it in the rain.

Nope. I'll have to check the certificate for it first if it even is below 2000 lumens since I don't wanna have to add headlight sprayers. After that I'll think about how to wire it all up.


For now I'll just rest. Every free second I had this year has been spent on this car. I'm tired, but glad I did all this.

Ours are back in April - we´ll do a trip together then. At least you had two days with yours to enjoy - made most of the trouble forgotten.
