Mustang History
Just what happened to it:
In 92 mamma had a Comet she had bought from Albins Used Cars which from what I know has a bad rep for sawdust in gastank or whatever. Anyway after it died she bout the stang either summer or spring. Keystones and all. Bout 94/95 she bought a 95 Plymouth Voyager and let my granny use the stang till about 97 when we had a big flood and it got wet and the engine was flooded and cause it ran for like two weeks after before it died is why I believe it has a large possibility of not need a NECCESARY engine swap. Anywho the Voyager was stolen and then found and wouldnt go in reverse for so long so mamma leased a 00 neon then last year started buying a 05. My granny got a 98 Windstar, after an off ramp accident last winter she got a Contour. Now the Stang is mine.
(2007)Bout around the first three months I found replacement tail lights at Kern's Mustang graveyard.
(2007)March I think for my B-Day I bout rear Louvers/sports slates whatever there names at Kern's
May 3rd 2008; Put the battery in out of Rawdawg. Got some new cables and after I figured out the spark plug cables were crossed I fixed it and she would start and run aslong as I kept blipping the gas pedal. I have to figure out why she keeps stalling out. Im thinking its the choke but that thing has never been plugged up as far as I know. another 2bbl carb is in her future.
June,28,2008; I got one of the two 86 dashes from, Glenn Kerns Mustang Graveyard. All I need is the passenger side and the interior will be half-way done. I'm not putting all these pieces on yet, just collecting them till its time. Now I just need the passenger side.
Dec 17 2008; My 4bbl intake arrived today at my mama's house. I just hafta go and get it from the post office tomorrow.
April 6 2009: I had gotten two nice Halo headrest(no netted) and a driver side armrest. I for got to mention sometime in March I got a multifunction switch. Looking foward to some nice seats soon aswell.
April 20 2009: I just picked up some seats. They are just regular seats, I would like the fancy ones with lumbar and leg extensions but less is more and it'll be easier to add the heat pads. Also I got my hands on a red quarts clock. I know I'm using a aftermarket H/U but I want this to be a custom car mainly using original parts optioned or not.
Other Mustang Info
Check dis, its a blog I had written cause the fact Im pissed that 79-86 get no respect from the aftermarket and restoration market. Four eyed pride Theres no excuse they shouldnt git tha same attention aeronoses get.
Everyone knows one of the first things you do is SFC's but since this has poped up more than once another problem has arosen that is cracks in the rear floor pan under the backseat. Believed to be stress cracks, they come from the way FoMoCo pressed the floorpans. The crack appears right in the middle lined up with the pumpkin. It's a lateral crack meaning from left to right. If you already have this crack rewield it and add a similar guage plate wiel;ded on top, if not it would be best to add the reinforcment plate before it has a chance to happen. It would probably be good to go ahead and reinforce the cars torque boxes while the seat is out.
