I am happy for you Charlie. Congratulations on having a panther and a fox peacefully coexist.

The beat goes on....

Door locks have been repair and door mechanics / windows have been lubed.

Brakes overhauled. Has about 10k miles left before new pads or upgrade is necessary.

New speakers installed. Figured what the hell, I was in the doors anyway and I had some new Pioneers laying around.

Transmission found to be missing 3rd gear. Rebuild is in order - coming soon.

Compression test completed. Cylinders 3-8 show 170 - 175 psi. Cylinders 1 and 2 are low. 1 is at 155psi and 2 is 145 psi. So a rebuild or crate is in the future. Regardless, it runs well - for now :devious:

Lookin good Charlie! Now all I need is a Marauder... and my transformation into awesomness will be complete. :clinkmugs:

the black car is the most current addition thanks to a tip from Morgan Johnson, and the white car was my first fox... my first car for that matter. Both 86s.

Crap... there's the black one.

A nice pair of stangs!

Get that Marauder! It is a rare piece of FMC history and can be had for cheep. I know of one for sale S/C'd very tastefully modded by a career ford tech. I'd stake my retirement on it! Interested?

That is a sweet car! My wife prefers that color too. First order of business is to sell that 06 stang unless I trade it for a MM. If he still has that car when I sell it, I wouldn't hesitate to snatch that up.

Sure thing, I have a guy in NJ who wants more info on the 06. Keep your fingers crossed.

Moving along here.

Got the Mustang back from trans shop. Shifts great now. I love driving this older school V8!

Next up are the radiator and heater core. Radiator has a cracked neck and the heater core is original. I am going to swap it BEFORE it craps out and the cooling system is drained.

I'd also like to swap out the engine for a FRPP 306 eventually. I have a few more gremlins to ferret out first.

I am also going to start stock piling new trim and plastic body parts in prep for the body shop.

I don't know how close I am to Omnipresent. But I can weld up the seat frame for you if you need me to.

I finally got my SVO seat done. WOW! What a difference. I've forgotten how nice it is to have a straight seat. The 93 will be getting done in the next few days while it's nice.
