What have you done to your mustang today?

[GriffX]

I don't know what sort of plastic paint he used but boot spoiler, mirror mouldings and roof strips are all still perfect.

In the end only paint last a long time. No more magic potions needed to bring the darkness back

As a fellow SprayGunner, I totally agree!

It's that time of the year... oil, filter, fuel filter and lube F/R suspension.

I will send out oil sample to Blackstone Labs, but I only drove about 3,000+ miles in the last year. I always purge my fuel filters into a clear container so I can see if there are any sediment, water or debris.

Closed the 2025 log book on both cars. Turns out I drove my Mustang 2,477 miles last year, and my wife's Shelby saw 951 miles worth of roads. Mostly me driving it.
For mine, that's the most miles driven since 2019.
Here's hoping 2026 is better. Hell, I put 2,200 miles on the thing in the first month I had it, I can do better!

Took out the battery tray as I noticed it was a tad loose when I parked it in September, found one of the J-nut clips missing and where i assume another bolt goes, there is just a 10mm round hole in the car, found that a bit strange and have to decide what to do with that. If anyone has a clue, let me know what was there.



While I have the battery tray out, found this strap on the side that was cut...



Go down to my local dealer and a new try is still available and it will be in on Wednesday. I am unfamiliar with that strap but while I am there and its on my mind might as well replace it.



Old tray in ok shape.

Looked at them getting rained on, therefore ruined, in the back yard.

First pic is under the passenger fender liner. There’s a plate of sorts. It has 2 threaded holes and a push pin that comes from the bottom to keep it in place. You may just have to move your plate around to find the missing hole. Second pic shows both holes and end of push pin. My battery also had a blanket around it. I included a pic of that as well. Luckily, I’m in the middle of my coyote swap so I could easily get these photos for you. I hope this helps.

Man, that rain picture hurts to look at - hopefully they'll dry out and you can get them back on the road soon!

That plastic pin is still there, wish me luck tomorrow and hope the threaded nut plate is still there!

After removing the liner, the bracket is gone. Dealer says eternal back order, so I put a J-nut in one spot, and went with a flanged nut from underneath for the other. New battery tray and Blanket are now installed and everything there is happy.

While I had the liner out, did a bit of cleaning there and a quick refinish of the liners, ordered some new fasteners as two of them broke. Fasteners will be here tomorrow and liners will go back in and off to the next project in the sub-zero South Dakota winter

Old tray in ok shape.

I was replacing my battery and found that strap cut as well on mine. On mine however the part that the battery wedges under closer to the fire wall was also FUBARed. They had cut it I would assume to fit a battery that was too large. I would love to have your old tray that probably is in the dumpster!

Trash came yesterday, a great big sorry.
