Walk around HD video with take off, car currently has 6 miles and for now the rev limiter is set at 4,5000 rpms
DAY 102
|
The vehicle has gotten a 3 stage detailing done, with buff, polish and waxing. All left to do is the bottom side stripes, badges and window trim chrome.
DAY 100
|
Finally after hours and hours of removing the header and reinstalling and rerunning everything it was time to put the car to its first real test, and it was amazing!!! It will be raining for about 2 weeks so it will be a perfect opportunity to get that fender repainted due to an accident with a piece of wood.
DAY 99
|
The Hedman Headers were a bit to close to the spark plug boots so the header had to be removed and dented in the area of the spark plugs. Since it was already removed it was best to go ahead and wrap the header in heart wrap fiberglass. Its back on now and shouldn't cause any more problems and would keep the engine bay a bit cooler.
DAY 97
|
its been a while since i posted any updates, we have finally relocated and the garage had to be fixed up a bit before things could have been moved in, finally got the Eleanor home!
DAY 96
|
Eleanor went for its first test drive down the street. So far everything is looking good, feels like brake pedal will need to be bled again and pedals to be adjusted a little.
Day 95
|
Ever since the car was painted, there was some dirt and dust inside the upper and lower scoops, and some scratches that were made during the prep work. It was an eye sore and it was time to clean them up inside and spray a few coats of semi gloss. Both upper and lower scoops were made functional. Uppers get fresh air into the cab when the vent is opened from the inside, and the lower scoop cools the rear brakes at all times. It took a lot more time to accomplish this, but it was well worth the work. Nothing like seeing side scoops and actually knowing that they are not always there to look good!
DAY 94
|
The engine was started for the first time, there were some issues with bad wire connection, and was giving coil a weak spark. After that was resolved it fired right up. Few more checks will be made, see if any leaks develope, power brakes, power steering, then it will be ready for a test drive in a few days.
DAY 93
|
Side exhaust was finished, adjusted and secured to the sub-frame to avoid bounce around while driving or hitting a bump, bellow are a few shots of the full exhaust, mufflers and side pipes with tips are from Mustangs To Fear. Perfect set up, clears sub-frame no problems and no issues with clearing the traction bars.
