Fired up my fastback and let it run for 20 minutes. Still has last years gas in it. I put a ton of new parts on it 2 years ago and said the next time I drive it it will be to the bodyshop. Well I haven't made it yet.:(

Changed out my sparkplugs today. Went a range higher from 25 to the 26 autolites.
 
Today I dissembled waterpump and timing cover, monday I will get new timing kit. Wonder why there was this older 3-bolt balancer,(broken), outer ring found in the trunk...Shouldnt there be this newer model?

Also dissembled some interior and weatherstripping. Rearly I have met anything so brittle than these A-pillar trims :( Trying to find new ones, another choice is try to fix them...

Shipping to Europe is no problem for Anthony II.

Greetings from me in Belgium and from my daughter in Jyväskylä.
 
I think my Mustangs instrument panel needs new lenses... I thought that I could buff then clear, but I was so wrong...

I went to my buddy's exhaust shop and we added dump pipes in front of the H pipe and actually ran tail pipes all the way out the back. Just a teeny bit more civilized for cruising.

I glued the A-pillar trims together, nice that I had all the pieces left... They are not ready, still needs some reinforcement...

Edit. Now they are reinforced with fiberglass, tomorrow frontside fixing...

Lookin' good, love the intake gaskets :D
Yeah I bought the best I could afford! ::thumb::

Got some Fel-Pros in the mail. Hoping they'd be here by today but guess I'm waiting until Monday.

I know that the intake is not installed permanently right now but it appears to be on backwards, just want to mention it so when you install it for good it isn't put on the same way again.

It is. I just slapped it on real quick because I didn't have a chain and had to use the plate to hook engine up to crane. Good eye!:bravo:

 
Coated A-pillar trims today. Resin worked like I hope now they are very rigid :cool:
Sweet, ::thumb:: What brand and color of paint did you use ?
This wont help you a lot, it is finnish product ment for repairing plastic parts. This is only color available.I got it for free to test use it.
