PWR radiator packed it in, New one finally arrived, and then I had to deal with all the custom bits and pieces,  bolts and brackets,  that probably weren't meant to come out! Finally emerged from the busted knuckle garage (I. E. My garage!). By the way,  see the tight clearance between the fan and the water pump pulley,  rule one,  Mount fan first!

Another PWR John, they do keep the engine heat under control really well, and the finish, welds etc are really good.

Sounds good Keith. They are a straight through style muffler, nice deep sound but not too loud or raspy. This is the muffler -

Maybe would have liked it a bit louder, but shouldn't get any complaints from the neighbours.  :smile01:

I got my Driver Accreditation part of my limited Limousine License cleared now I just have to go over the pits and I'm licensed for Formals, Weddings and Public venue events. Maybe the vert will earn its keep?

I took Verty (Nickname for my Mustang Convertible) over the pits for the accreditation. After nearly getting my car ripped to bits, experiencing what felt like an earth quake it passed. Verty will now be a limited licensed Limousine.

It is now official my car is a Special Purpose Limousine If a Special Limousine Mustang is required in Rockhanmpton, I would be happy to ablige.

This was not a cheap exercise, i blew well over $2700.00 making this happen, had to get a criminal history check, the car had to go over the pits.

Fortunately there is so much red tape, I have enough for an emergency kit if I ever need to sticky tape the car in an emergency

The past week, I have installed brand new King Springs to front and rear which lowered her 40mm. Was way to high. Now it handles so well and the ride is smoother.
As before all new rubbers underneath.

I joy to drive at speed around a corner without body roll. Sticks like glue.

Bought a roll of 4mm felt underlay from Bunnings and replaced the original under carpet insulation. 4mm on the transmission tunnel and 8mm everywhere else including behind the rear seats. It made a huge difference to the amount of noise in the car. I can now hear the hi-fi when I want to. Well worth the effort.
