Now on to the Ford Mustang. You dislike it because it's a Ford.. Why did you purchase a project car knowing it was a Ford ?
They run great , and are very good at what they are supposed to do, but when it comes to working on them they are total nightmares. Little things like poorly designed electrical plugs, and you need every sized wrench and socket in your box just to change a headlight bulb. they will use 1/4 inch and 9/32 screws on the same object! It's so very weird.
case - I did the valve cover gaskets on the vic, the first step is to jack up the front end, and remove the passenger tire and splash shield. Step two - remove EVERYTHING from the firewall on both sides.. the complete a/c system and braking system.. I had to recharge the a/c and replace the dryer just to change a $19 gasket.. Fords are not designed to be worked on without a beer in your hand.. not like the hondas, dodges, nissans, toyotas.. they keep things in mind for the shared_user.
Everybody's lists are looking good! I'm glad people are taking this seriously. This is nice. Thanks guys!
