What did you get done on your Stang today????

I actually tried to work on the stang today. Haven't touched it in over 2 months. I picked up a tefba filter and thought I would get the upper radiator hose installed. Wrong!

I got it off eBay and stupid me I guess I read the listing wrong. I needed a 1.5" and ended up with a 1.25" . Doh!

Shut the hood, pulled the car cover back on and walked away.

Any know a good source for these filters?

I am about ready to give it up for adoption. Or push it out in front of the UPS truck.
I sure can't take care of it anymore.

FasterJags.com is the USA outlet for them. I see they are selling them on ebay. Those filters have gone up in price as compared to back when I did a group buy.

Had a GORGEOUS day to be outside and pull the suspension. Unfortunately the entire day was shot dealing with a job issue on the phone. In order to salvage some of the day and get something done, I got the heater case all pulled apart and inspected so I can restore it with new seals and a new core. It wasn't much, but at least it was something!
 
Hi Craig. Do you recognize the water pump? You helped me install it in the parking lot in Buena Park in April '08. As you can see it's still a very low mile piece.
 
I picked up all the window trim from the body shop. I going to polish it out before they are ready to install. I hope to also remove some of the dents in it.

I could send you a big box full of trim pieces. I never throw original stainless steel pieces away.
 
Not much recently, the replacement wheel arrived, so it's movable once again. My 7 year old son who has been terrified of the car shocked me on Friday morning. We drive him to school rather than put him on the bus, we live in a rural area and he is the first stop of the route, so if he takes the bus he is riding it for nearly 40 minutes. The school is less than 3 miles away, so we drive him in, anyway, he asked if I could drive him to school in the "scary car" as he calls it. No problem at all, put him a a booster seat up front and away we went, when we pulled up at school a lot of his friends were there and they were very excited.

Making a major effort to get my garage back in order. It been neglected for the past 15 months due to the new house and the new baby.... I'm getting back on top of things and once the garage is back in order, I'm planning on getting back to the car a couple nights a week. Still have lots of cleaning to go....
