Hold your reset button for the tripometer and then press your trip button and it should beep and that service button should go off. as long as its just a scheduled check up code. looks good so far. Nice Stang. Way to keep it a 4 eye

Thanks for all the good words.. the stang is my fathers and he would have nothing but a 4 eye, we tried to find a decent 4 eyed Bird up here but they were all rotten as I have limited funds to work with as I am only 15 and only work part time. The Mustang doesnt hook from first to second and then settles down and the third gear is tough to get as it has a stock T5 which really is too weak for the HP its producing. If he keeps it has been talking about C4/3000 stall conversion.... LXBird

cool man, I was going to buy that bird a while ago, but I couldnt figure out a way to get it all the way home, as I didnt feel like making the huge drive for it.

Nice bird.

You also got lucky to have your father do all the mechanical and stripping of the car while you keep up your busy social schedule:punchballs:

okay its been a wile but here is some update pictures, i should be thanking my dad because this time he did most of the work, now i unfortunately have to wait to get the car painted as i need the dents taken out. here are some pics of the car as it sits now









ooooo lookey here! i found this ford cup under the seat! i don't know if a factory worker put it there when the car was being built, or where it came from




also my grade 10 auto class went to Toronto for the Performance world car show, i was lucky to see a very clean turbo there, and look what else i picked up, anyone want to trade for an 88?:hick:

Yeah the factory color is staying, i sorta like it, and i have an ol' Lincoln LSC sitting out behind our shop so i'm going to grab the H.O out of it hopefully, rebuild it, and just leave it like that

Going to throw that rear in there too?

Looks good. Looks like you got a nice stock of "fuel" to keep you guys going though the work too.
