I never want to bend brake lines for one of these cars again. I got the back and LF done, I have to do the RF today. The ford line is a one piece line, but I may have to make mine two and connect them, I don't think I can get it in without buggering up stuff.

Also, Eastwood's tubing flare and bending tools ARE as awesome as they claim them to be.

lol sounds awful....


Got the turbo h pipe exhaust installed. The kit was flared enough and the h pipe wasnt center along the drive line. It was irritating but i got it working. Im not too happy about how low the mufflers are but we will see. Also its too quiet

[JRANGER]

Well I couldn't take it! I ordered new mufflers so if anyone needs 2" turbo mufflers let me know and they are yours.

I ordered a set of Jone's FULL Boar Dual Chamber Muffler which have the same exhaust internal design as 40 Series flows. Found them for $29.99 a piece so i was pretty happy to give them a shot.

[JRANGER]

Oh and i forgot to mention on a sour note...THE BASTARD P.O. didnt remove the rot from his patch work... Found that out while installing the exhaust. So I have some cutting to do

[Rusbuilt]

Oh poop!

[67ChevyRedneck]

You mean he found a hole, then patched it by putting the patch OVER the rust and not cutting the bad stuff out? That's really lazy/stupid.

Boom Shocka LOCKA!!!!! Mufflers Scheduled to be delivered FRI!! CANT WAIT!!!

[InitialBoss]

Did they arrive yet?

[JRANGER]

Yup, They are sitting on my front porch . I just ordered more sound deadener to put on the roof, some rattle can blitz black for the jams, and a 1996 Miata Center console... Heh that what happens when i see pics and its was only $80. Actually would only of been $20 if the jerk didnt break the one at pull a part. Here is what it will look like in the car.

[Rusbuilt]

I like that!

[JRANGER]

well i kinda screwed up. The new mufflers are center inlet and side outlet. Where the turbos are the opposite. It may still fit though just with some adjusting

[Rusbuilt]

You can do it!

[JRANGER]

Looked at it this morning and it looks like it will work just fine!! Actually will pull them away from the driveline a little more making it much better. I dont know if ill get to it today but if not tomorrow. Just had to look real quick before boxing lol

[JRANGER]

whooopsie!!! Someone tightened there u bolts too tight and had to cut off 1 turbo muffler soo far. Got one installed and it fits much better and seems to sound much better. Have to head to soccer but i am going to try to get the other installed after or tomorrow. I dont think ill have to cut it though..Hopefully

[JRANGER]

Well busy busy day but I got both the mufflers installed and they fit much much better. I also re-installed the headlights, turn signals, the drivers seat, and the drivers side seat belts. So its ready for a cruise down the road

[JRANGER]

Got busy before the winter storm comes this morning. Its 60 right now and going to be 25 tonight...Wow!! Anyway got up and found a can of black primer so sanded the fiberglass down, cleaned it, and taped it off real quick. Hit it with a few coats and it matches pretty well. Should keep it decent until i have time to get it completely prepped and painted.

Also installed the grill for now and the rear bumper

[67ChevyRedneck]

Nice. Going to do the same here too. It's real windy out. 70 today, only 55 and rain tomorrow and pretty much rest of the week... 36 and 46 for high th & fri the back to mid 60's for weekend

I'm trying to get a bunch of stuff painted too... firewall got cleaned and redone, brake booster and MS and various parts, and finally installing the export brace I've had for over a year...

[Dieselwrencher]

[Rusbuilt]

Hows the new mufflers sound?

They sound better but since I havent drove with them i dont really know but they do have a nice grumble to them and im thinking a bigger tip on the 2" pipes might make it louder

Looks good Jeff!

So today...I actually called and added liability insurance to the stang so i can "LEGALLY" drive it. Liability for now because once this baby is done I am getting full coverage to protect my investment

[JRANGER]

So i have been getting frustrated lately trying to get the stereo to work. I bought 2 different CD players off ebay....I thought the first one was faulty...Figures...Keeps shutting off blah blah. Install the second one, turns on but no sound. Ran a new ground, checked the power cables, switched the power cables...After all that still nothing!!! So i said **** this...I cut the speaker line out and ran a new set of speaker wires. All of a sudden it works!! SON OF A *****!!!! All this time there was a short in the ****ing speaker wire? For REAL? O but the CD player on the new unit doesnt work...WTF!!!!! Back to the other one at some point to see if it works...So yeah im cold, **** this...

Installed my console and it works pretty damn good...Its a little tight on the boot but i have in somewhat centered and screwed into the trans mission tunnel with 3 screws...CUP HOLDER BABY!!! I will probably try to put small bolt in to hold it eventually...Im thinking put the bolts in underneath and put a nut to hold it in place then put the console on it and add a retaining nut... Yup

[Rusbuilt]

I hate wiring!
