Yes it's just peeling, or I was involved in a high speed shoot out. Either one works.

I have new headlights on order!

Also replacement headlights are a great way to make the car look better for less than 80 bux.

Mine was for a long time ... it's kind of a constant thing I'm looking for in junkyards. I found one that's ... 80% good, maybe? And I just keep it waxed and hope I can find a better one before it gets all crappy looking too.

Did I miss the New Edge party?



When I went to the rodeo last year I appreciated the gold American Mustang the stunt rider was on.

This thing is paid off as of like todayish or however long it takes to wire money and process a payment. Why did I get a loan on a 13 year old car? Because I'm an idiot who makes impulse purchases like this.

Dat wheelgap! If it can survive a few more months without raping my wallet some more it might get a Maximum Motorsports/Bilstein kit.

I have the rock chips too, a lot more than I realized, all of which became grossly apparent with the wash and wax. But the car holds up pretty drat well for a daily driver with nearly 150k miles. Luckily she will get garaged soon and I'll start restoring her in a couple years.

Brake light has somehow held up pretty drat good.

dont lower your car man, you will become obsessed with going lower and lower! hahahaha

This is what your car will look like with a MM Bilstein kit. you will get about a 1" drop


this is what your car will look like if you do LCA and other extreme mods :) I wish i could get the front lower, but I need coil overs. uggg $400!

FPRP has some progressive springs that lower it less than an inch I think but honestly I don't want to think too hard about it and just order "one thing".

Saw my first GT350 in person drive by me today, still had the temp tags on it. Heard it before I saw it. They sound SO good, I hope Ford has more plans for that engine. New Lightning perhaps?

Stang's in the shop for its annual nickel and diming session. At some point I'll fix everything, right?

Was losing coolant through the reservoir cap on my steep hill. Replaced cap, now losing coolant even faster. It's coming from the intake manifold and pooling in the valley. Plastic. Intake. Manifold.

Hopefully the heater core holds on till at least next year.

Check the coolant crossover tube as that's where they like to break.

The replacement part is the Ford PI manifold with the aluminum crossover, right? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fms-m-9424-p46

e/ well they found a broken seal. I'm gonna have them replace the seal, clean it up, replace the tstat, and button it. Hopefully it'll seat back on OK and not leak after 16 years of heat cycling. If it leaks again I'll just get the PI doodad off Summit and do it myself. If I can drop the engine out of the motorcycle to do its intake seals, I can probably replace this thing too.

Yeah. As far as manifold replacements go it's about as easy as it can be. There are plenty of decent guides and videos for the job out there.
