Project Mustang Consolidation

[Russell]

I have not washed it yet. I have swept out the back. Got the trash out of the inside and vacuumed it out. Then I parked it under a persimmon tree.

The underside of a 5.8L GT40 intake manifold with bad gaskets....

The text was about the truck in general. I swept the bed of the truck, and started cleaning the cab.

Ok , I thought it might be but I thought you hadn’t started opening it up. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before.

Worked on it some

[Russell]

The lighting is Running! I pressure washed it to get the top layer of crud off. It got dark on me so I will finish washing it another day. I started making a list of all the things that need fixing. Hopefully the junkyard is open tomorrow and I can grab a few of them.

I think I found that noise

[Beagle]

oh shit - that's a high dollar shaft last time I looked ... aluminum, and I bet they don't sell them any more. Might be worth taking to a driveshaft shop.

[Russell]

I went and picked up a steel F150 driveshaft to get the truck back on the move. So far so good. The brakes are spongy so in need to figure that out. I need to get back on my diy turbo install on Foxbody. I want to fix all the little things clean it up and enjoy it but there are a lot of little things. If anyone wants a project I might let it go it's very distracting, running, sitting there saying work on me while the mustang is in jackstand jail.

Multiple project cars is good. If you get frustrated with one, you can change gears and fiddle with the others.

If that's what you need to tell you're self. I think Jennifer does not hate the lighting as much as other projects cars I have had in the past. She suggested I clean out the other half of the house garage and put it there. We really don't have alot of extra driveway to park cars, and she has a hatred for parking on grass there is a ton of stuff to move, put away or trash to get a car on that spot. I am sure that's the best option.

I had the idea that two project cars would be best. One as a long term project and the second as a short term project. With the goal of making a profit on the short term project, to help fund the long term project.

Did a little Friday night

[Russell]

I finished tacking the hot side (up-pipe) together last night. What do you think? I need to figure out the waste gate placement. I was going to put it in the side just below the flange. I was told that is not the best. I might be able to put it in the kink between the merge and straight section below the flange. But I am afraid it will be harder to get to there.

I took pictures but I am getting a file extension error?
