My 82 project. *Lots of pics*

[Paisu]

Here's some other stuff I picked up last week. FRPP radiator, flexlite fan and Jegs fan thermostar-controller.

I fabricated a fan shroud to maximise the efficiency of that fan. Also painted it with some zink-paint, so that it would not rust right away:

As I twisted it from 1mm sheel metal by hand on the side of a table, the side edges aren't straigth 90°, but looks okay rounded like that. Also welded the brackets to get it mounted on the radiator.

Not sure if it's going to fit, but I can always make it more flat, and weld new brackets.

Thanks for the words of engouragement.

personally i think it would look a little better two toned at the body line instead of the crazy shape you have there, but out side that awesome job. great job for a first time painter as well!

That's what I was told here in Finland when I photoshopped some themes before painting, but, I have never done as I was told to I like it and that makes me happy.
Thanks for your honest opinion, I appreciate it.

Great thread and even nicer car. More pics please!

Thanks everyone!!! Nothing more rewarding than another mustang-freak giving good feedback on your efforts.

There are quite alot mustangs in Finland. Hmm, don't know the numbers for sure, but I can find it out for you.
We have own club for mustangowners. Ford Mustang Owners' Club of Finland.
www.mustangclub.fi
And there must be a lot of those who aren't in the club. When I joined back in 2005 I got the members card which had number 2088 in it. I wonder if I was 2088th to join the club...

There are about 110 Mustangs for sale at the moment in Finlands most active and common place in web to sell your car. Almost like yours Craigslist or Ebay.

Heres better pics of the engine. Mounted the painted headers, test-fitted the carburetor spacer, and cut the aircleaner stud to proper lenght.

Also welded some iron to let the engine stand for its motor mounts, so that I can put the flexplate on, and ''connect'' the engine with transmission.

Some minor update.

Had a awful flue, getting better now.

Got the rear tires.
275/35-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3.

The other wheel have taken some damage, dont ask how.
Anyway, one company here tried to straighten it a bit, and it came out better, but it's not totally gone i'm afraid.
Anyway, some pics.
