After the issues it's had lately, I think they're finally sorted, must have been the worn points in the distributor..

So I washed, polished, vacuumed and drove it!
Stopped to get a few photos as well, this was by far the best one..

Finished dynamatting the rear end of the car . . . Floor behind the front seats and the boot. What a difference it makes to the exhaust noise. I'd recommend it to everyone.

Went for a drive today and could smell hot radiator coolant.  :o: Saw the old girl piddling from under the front when I stopped. :ouch:  Popped the bonnet and saw that coolant's been blown back onto the shiney bits in the engine bay as well.  It's just a little squirt under pressure from the seam along the top tank.  It didn't lose much coolant thankfully, just down about an inch from the filler neck.  It's only a 2 row 20 inch radiator so I think it's time for a 3 row 24 inch ready for air con some time in the future. :evilone:

Installed seat extenders on my 2001 Mustang Cobra to get more travel back and 1/2 inch of height. Just needed one inch to stretch my legs out. Heaps better. Thanks CJ Pony. :)

I went out to the shed and thanked it for getting me safe and comfortable in style from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast for Cooly Rocks Festival. Dont know why but I fitted new wiper blades before I left, just as well as even tho` the weather was gorgeous all week, on the way home Thursday it pelted down.

Saved my Mustang from getting booked by the Limousine Police for accepting a gig to do a wedding for $200.00. See my post about same. We are expected to become business operators. I'll let you know how registration for limousine authorisation goes.

Took the Seducer for a quick run down to Brooklyn this morning to check out parking and a few details for our Postman's run on the Hawkesbury river ferry next week. Blew a few cobwebs out. Ran like a mustang should .
