Took my Compomotives to the refinisher today to get them stripped and repainted. Bought replacement stickers from ebay.co.uk as well. Today I installed my Bullitt Mustang fuel door. Made a nice polished aluminum backing plate for it to mount to inside the fuel pod, but as I was polishing it it got sucked out of my hands and smoked me in the head. Any sharper and I'd need stitches. Luckily I just got a big goose egg and a bad cut. Funny shaped aluminum is hard to polish safely.... wears those safety goggles. Thankfully I was.

Drilled my dash's defrost vent to mount the LED for the new alarm. My Jag has the alarm LED there and I like it. Looks more modern. Wired some of it up and mocked up some wiring/pipes for preparation of the dash install. I dug up the HKS boost knob and mapped its placement out on my clock blank plate template. Won't be sad to see the clock and warning modules go. 3 gauges, brake bias knob and boost know go in there. Should look good. I took out the oil sender unit and the turbo feed line and will get more fittings to mount the new oil temp and pressure senders for the gauges. Spent about 10 hours on the car today....


Picked up my Yokohama A032r tires today. Soft compound 235/40/17. Treadwear 60!!!









My car has fuel pressure for the first time in 2875 days. The tank went in today with a new walbro pump. A little fussy to get it in but it powered up right away and makes full pressure. I had the tank fully redone and did a lot under there. The hold up was putting the mc2racing diff mount in.

Not a big deal to most but this is a milestone for me in the whole rebuild/mod process. i still have to drop the tailhousing and install a 6 tooth speedo gear, so it's not like it can come down off the stands just yet. Front suspension needs to go in as well.

But it was a big deal for me. I'll be celebrating this evening.

Excellent. [/burns]
