I know Exhaust shop ripped me off. I don't care that much though since I'm just going to be buying a catted mustang H-pipe after this winter.

yeah I know how that goes....But that sounds good to me

Here's what they look like:


And my H-less H-pipe:




If I get a chance tomorrow I'll get a video of what they sound like now.

For some reason I was really sick of this very lumpy gray primer and randomly splattered por 15 patch so I decided to do a little bodywork on it. Its not the best but at least it's all one color and fairly smooth.

Por 15'd the bottom of my trunk today. Rust can suck a dick.

Also adjusted my rear brakes so they actually work good now.

[chitownvic]

Looking good...I need to invest in some por15. And yes, rust can suck a dick....LOL.....Anyway my back brakes were not even bein used until I adjusted them...LOl..I cleaned them off with brake cleaner and it was liie new behind the rotor....

Well I've been hording up on parts for my K-code axle swap. I bought 4 new gabriel ultras, new cargo coil rear springs, some gear oil, new fuel filter, diff gasket, new 11" drums as one was missing and the other trashed, and a few other things. I already stripped down the axle and drained the old gear oil out. I'll por-15 it and hopefully get it installed next weekend. I've already started soaking all the control arm and shock bolts on my car in PB blaster. Hopefully they'll be easier to get out then the ones on my k code. Today I put on the front shocks as the old ones were quite dead.

Yea for parts! Still waiting for the drums and springs to come in.


Old shock and new one next to each other. The old one decided to kill itself upon removal.


New shock in it's new home.

Looking good I wish i had a k code.(sobs)..LOL....get them batteries off the cememt floor.

[pantera77]

Springs and drums came in today. Painted the drums with 3 coats of high heat paint. Still waiting on new wheel cylinders. No amount of pb blaster and heat could free the bleeders in the k code, which surprised me because it has a relativity new brake line still attached. Also picked up 4 town car turbine-hpp crossbred rims.

oooo those wheels are gonna look nice.

[gabegt90]

where did you get the townie lucy spokes from theres a few places I know around buffalo. skyway auto parts on tift street ransom road has like 3 junk yards and auto salvege of buffalo off military road

which springs did you get ? are you trying to raise the rear like mine?

[pantera77]

I always go to M&M U pull it on Williams street. The are over loaded with Cash for clunker cars. There's at least 10-15 boxes, and were 2 HO foxes and a 92 Mark VII. There prices are pretty good to. My K code was just $50.
The springs are just sedan cargo coils. Didn't really want a huge rake or anything, just something a bit stronger and not saggy.
Also my wheel cylinders came in today. Time to get to work I guess.
