Chipped away at her some more today a big thank you goes out to Al,Bobby and George with out them the exhaust would have met a swazzall :laughing2:. Today started out as gauge day and slight clean up well that escalated to full bore clean and paint redo all the wiring in the car the prev owner did, exhaust and catch can day
mgno:. I started to take the intake tube apart and realized it had a fitting cut off the power pipe and glued to it WTF is wrong with people
it snapped right the fugg off. I fixed that then went a decided to clean up the pipes change the coupler and put beads on all the pipes since none of them had any again WTF!!!!!!!!. That turned into lets paint the power pipe and maf housing
then lets clean all the wiring up on the p/s of the motor then lets re polish the blower
mgno: after that was done I finally got to plumb the catch can and clean up all the vac lines and replumb the evap system with all new hoses. Then I moved on to the exhaust and let me tell you the pypes system that was on the car is on giant turd FUGGGGG Chris Chrstiansan from PINK'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after an hour of modifying the magna packs are on with reg muffler clamps for now I have to order 6 band clamp's tomorrow. Finally got to the gauges and after an hour of cleaning up the wire nut mess I was faced with she got her new set of heart monitors. The only thing left to do is wire the shift light to the computer and put the line lock switch on the shift bezel which is why you still don't see it at the car. Me the dumbass I am wasted 1/2 an hour trying to figure out why I smelled oil by the d/s door then I finally realized oh yeah dummy you put the catch can in the fender well :laughing:. Gonna order the new Motorcraft batt this week and then clean the wiring mess up on the d/s fender and get rid of the baby batt in there now.
Retarded glued fitting
mgno:
This took me all of 5 minutes to do
Quick coat of mothers(Pipes are all beat up pretty good gotta order some new ones and make it nice)
Maf housing sanded with some red scotch brite and ready for paint
Power pipe with a quick prep
My favorite spray can
Catch can plumbing
Cleaned up engine bay 85% done (This makes me happy in my pants)
Gauges, SOS pod and raptor shift light
She's really starting to come together I am really starting to get excited to get her finished. It sounds down right angry with the magnapacks on and has that nice low rumble instead of sounding like a pickup missing the muffler with that Pypes system.
