yeaaa... no.

awww yea my seats came in after months of back order

The cherry on top have arrived.

yea wanted to try my hand restoring some decent ish windows... ford decided it was a GREAT idea to have that window molding be part of the window and not replaceable... so you either get to choose repop windows that dont have the mustang on them or $1000 each new old stock ones.

Finally got around to restoring my foxes quarter windows before and after. ignore the leftover tent. not cleaned the window yet lol

May look crusty on the outside however everything is BRAND NEW and there isnt a spec of rust anywhere on this car. paint to come after manual swap. also super pissed my brand new headlights yellowed in 6 months....

Restored some pedals in prep for the manual swap

yea... nah. t56 trans cost 2 to 3k by themselves. already had the t5 and i say after the rebuild ill have about 3-3500 in the swap. also the "world class" thing is just a gimmick really. their basically the same thing lol least as far as ive researched which is like 2 threads

Its a road race car that will be track probably as much as daily. not a daily. also lag really isnt an issue with smaller turbos. big ones yes small no. also will help with accel. which is what im going after. edit should probs say im shooting for 600 range which wont require allll that much in terms of turbo given the specs of my motor. cam will change to a more turbo friendly one though edit 2. should also note this is crank hp not wheel hp. can take upwards to 30% or more in some cases to get the whp number

i mean you arnt wrong but typically 1 comes with the other. and unless its a diesel they will be fairly within reach of each other in my case dynoed 440hp and 460tq crank

Its the older T5 Borg Warner WC from an 85 or 86 stang. Its getting some upgrades internally though when i have it rebuilt. will handle the 4-500HP thats getting hooked to it. maybe not the 6-700 this car will make when i turbo it lol also my shipping curse strikes again.... my brand new clutch was not shipped with my clutch kit..... IDK HOW THAT FUCKIN HAPPENS.... got the flywheel tho if that counts lol... idk to laugh or just be outright pissed. all i know is they better overnight my fuckin $400 part cause im now solely waiting on that

After a year of waiting on good old RONA... months waiting for a motor, more months waiting on people to twiddle thumbs stang FINALLY started. and ran.... about 100 yards before trans decided to nuke everything but 2nd gear because SOMEONE FUCKIN FORGOT TO PROPERLY ADJUST THE AOD TV CABLE AND TOP THE TRANS FLUID FOR THE $700 TORQUE CONVERTER...... so its back in the shop again. this time for a manual swap. secretly wanted it but dammit didnt want another 2 to 3k more spent. Had to dig this out of storage and get it rebuilt.

$1200 vs 3-5000 and fitech said everything attached to the tbi woudl need to go back. sensors and all. even the handheld system that goes in the car im not sending the motor back cause there is no reason for that. just everything electronic on the motor

Randoms amazing luck strikes again. last week it was the hood. this week they finally finished the install and take it on the test drive to find it surging. after a while on the phone with fitech they concluded that the efi unit on the motor is bad.. I wasnt getting a tach signal in the system at all and according to fitech is a common defect. yayyyyy. so NOW i get to figure out how rma works with a fucking motor lol also herd ATK warranty is trash so i guess ill be seeing how trash very soon. brand new motor..... sigh edit heres part 2 of hood replacement saga fml on that too i musta been an aweful person in a past life cause its like amazing how bad my luck is

taken last week still needed some wiring done as well as a ton of tidying up and ac installed and a ton of smalls only used items in all of engine bay is the bake booster/ res, alternator and ac compressor. literately everything else is new same goes for under the car as well actually. full new exhaust, all new front end and suspension. waiting on a few things and getting the motor done before doing the suspension tho
