Looks nice - are the wheels 14" or 15"?

They are 15 x 7 on the rear & 15 x 6 on the front.

Plus having two Mustangs is cheating

Yeah, I know but just don't dare tell my wife!!!

So Doug, have you succumbed to the urge of buying another Mustang yet?

Scott66 · « **Reply #1803 on:** May 27, 2016, 03:49:38 pm »

Hmmm 15's I thought so, mine is on 14's and I think the mid eyes would have it looking like it was on stilts!

Might have to look at the reverse eye or even get a set redone to suit the height (or lack of) that I'm looking for.

And yeah Doug what's going on mate?

teacherspet · « **Reply #1804 on:** May 27, 2016, 03:55:16 pm »

You could also get some lowering blocks & get the ride height to your liking. That's what I did with my convertible & it sits real nice. But if I were you, I'd buy the reverse eye springs as they will be another inch lower than the mid eyes.....& /or buy some 15 inch wheels. I am thinking about selling the wheels & tyres on my coupe to get some wider ones.

Scott66 · « **Reply #1805 on:** May 27, 2016, 04:12:51 pm »

Not real keen on lowering blocks - most likely go the reverse eye and reset them lower if needed.

Gotta keep my 14 inch "Ghetto Wheels" as Barnett calls them!

Murkyrat · « **Reply #1806 on:** May 27, 2016, 04:58:59 pm »

Just looking at the moment, getting itchy though.

Have a look on Carsales.com as there are plenty for sale & quite a lot selling also. I just wish I had a bigger shed, then I would get that fastback i always dreamed about.

I also have a set of 15" GT style wheels that I occasionally swap over on the coupe.

I gave the old girl a matching spare wheel instead of the daggy old black steely. I bought a pair of 12 slotters in 14 x 7 off Gumtree for only $20 each a few months ago. They were a bit rusty and the chrome was shabby so I had them sandblasted then my old man painted them up nice when he was painting some old bike parts in silver. I got tyres fitted yesterday now one's in the boot

and the other will sit in my shed with all the other car & bike parts I'll never use

Opened the passenger side door into the corner of the brick work on my garage....

The weather cleared up so went for a drive. Missed last weekend due to non stop rain.

Dwayne · « **Reply #1812 on:** June 11, 2016, 07:10:44 pm »

Fitted a rear seat divider, and prepped the floorpan for some por15 tomorrow.

My wife, my [T/A], and I put all new KYB shockies on the 66 today and then took it out for a blast.
Yep..... that was worth the 4 hrs that it took.

Another job marked off the list.

Went for a drive. Nice day today. Got home and cleaned and polished in preparation for the drive to Just Mustangs next Sunday.

Giffo · « **Reply #1815 on:** July 03, 2016, 03:26:48 pm »

Thanks to Speedy Diffs in Mascot, a new LSD and 3.73 gears installed. Quicker off the mark and no diff slap.
Very happy. Highly recommend Jim at Seedy Diffs. Good price and good workmanship.

Evo · « **Reply #1816 on:** July 04, 2016, 08:19:08 am »

Finally found the courage to attempt removing the RH wiper arm to reposition it. It was sitting higher than the other. Another sucessful task ticked off the list.

This weekend I enclosed the veranda section on my shed so now both of our cars can be together and not feel lonely anymore.

Dwayne · « **Reply #1818 on:** July 05, 2016, 06:38:58 pm »

Yesterday I replaced my headlight switch with a new one as the gauge dimmer was a little dodgy.

Tonight I'll put back in the dodgy dimmer one as it's much better than the brand new very dodgy one that takes out all my lights on the drive home.

NEW = Never Even Worked.

Well done Herman. Must almost be time for that hoist?

Bugger - looks nasty, hopefully there's no damage to the rear end underneath.

Looks like more of a swipe?

Cheers

Unfortunately I don't quite the height for one but I can wish though

Pulled my seats out and delivered them, the covers and new foam to TheLittleTrimmer to be reupholstered.

Fitted new rotors and pads to the rear of my stang (ED falcon disc brakes) existing ones were Kaput after lakeside last weekend, made up a tool to wind the pistons in as the aftermarket one I have is absolute rubbish, took me 2 attempts as after welding the allen key fittings to the side of a socket it made them brittle and both broke so ended up welding bits of steel from my old indicator stalk and it worked a charm.

Fitted a new neutral safety switch after the last new one failed after less than 3 years use, I bought a Australian 4 pin switch thinking it would be the same but no such luck so I cut the plug of the old one and spliced that in to the new switch and it looks better than it did before I spliced it and I now can start my car in park again and I have reverse lights again.

Quite happy with my achievement considering I didn't really start until around 4:30pm and sat down for a roast dinner as well in this time
