What did you do for your Mustang today?

[66 Stang]

Bought a new set of wheels today, can now inter change between the styled steel wheels and these, once I get some tyres on them.

Hey Keith, you've got the rims - I've got the tyres. 

Very, very nice - they are going to look sensational on your coupe.

Hey Keith, tough looking rims, what tyres will you be you fitting up?

[birdman]

Well it wasn't on my car but while out at a local meet some exhaust nuts had rattled off on a friends muzzy,so a couple of the boys chipped in with a helping hand.
Hey griff,is it all in one piece? Anything fall off? Like an alternator wire???
Sorry mate,had to throw that one in.  

[66 Stang]

Couldnt agree more John,

Never seen a car held togethor with so much wire, I sure hope Griff can remove all that fencng wire when he gets home, nothing like the "Shire Toolbox" fencing wire, electical tape and pliers.

Nuts n Bolts Griff, never leave home without them.

Adjusted steering wheel, was'nt centre.
So bolted it back on, only to find i have it about 2 clicks too far left now...
Family came over... and there you have it !!!!!!, needing to be done next time.....again !

Not the Mustang (but still a Ford!)...
I cut and polished (by hand - because I don't have an electric buffer  ) the daily driver's paintwork to bring back the shine and make it a little more appealing to drive and with just a 1.8l 4cyl and FWD, it needs as much help as it can get, especially when I have just driven the Mustang!

Anyway... After a quick bath and clay, I set about cutting / polishing the paint, every now and then looking over to the Mustang, knowing it would never be as shiny or as smooth, as it had recently been resprayed, cleared and professionally cut and buffed in a workshop AND, I had just polished it..
Keen to get a really good comparison of before and after, I put some masking tape down the centre of the hood...
I was pleasantly surprised at just how well it worked out, even though it was only done by hand.. Much less an amateur's hand!

Check THIS out!


This was the stuff I used with just a polish applicator pad and clean towel (to wipe off residue)..

Works in progress, the title `The Bush Mechanics `does come to mind 
Well done with all involved ,Dino ( Raven) by donating a 9/16 nut or two, John (Thruster) for the handy Stanley toolkit and John (Birdman) for the hands on approach 

Oh, and that is Griff under his car 

Cheers

Yep, looks like Griff is pissing in Birdman's pocket again. Hope he took his banjo and straw hat and made it back to the deep south safely.

Andrew at least if he had his banjo,we could have used the strings to hold the flanges together. Lol

JT, Excellent work - That 50/50 shot sure does show an amazing difference.

It is hard work polishing a car like that.

Make sure to finish it off with a wax or it could dull off again fairly quickly.

Rocket.
