After spending most of the summer intangled in a mass of wiring, I finally got my new wiring harness in and and most of my interior back together. I got to drive my stang everyday this week. It is so nice to not have to get up early and take my girlfriend to work. She was nice enough to share her car with me while mine had its guts hanging out all over our livingroom. Driving my car again is like a dream come true, but this past week of driving has made me realize that I still have a long way to go before it is perfect or fun to drive again.
There are still a lot of rattles dispite all the sound deadning material I added, but I can always just turn up the radio. The things that I am more concerned about are my steering, which is still darty dispite the fact that I replaced the steering gearbox twice and all the linkage during the past year, my blower motor, which must be rubbing on the inside of its housing (stupid thing I have to pull the dash to get at it), and a certain engine squeak that didn't go away after even a second replacement of my engine's front seal.
Now that was a fun job.
I guess my stang is coming along but it just seems like there is so much left to get done on it. I don't even want to think about paint. So here is what I need for you guys to do for me.
1. Come up with a cheap junkyard rack kit that is just awsome and can be bolted in over a weekend.
2. Not yell at me for playing my music so load that you can hear it in your car when I'm driving behind you.
3. Come on down to Lubbock and pull my blower motor for me and get it to stop rubbing its housing.
4. Remind me that I like working on my car and I'd miss it if I gave up and sold it.
5. Talk the city of Lubbock into repaving all the roads.
6. Send me a new engine that keeps itself tuned.
7. Tell me a funny story about your battles with your stang while you try to keep it in pristine condition.
Thanks guys
