Updates pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease :hi::hi::cool::cool:
What an unbelievable build! and an amazing life story to go with it!

Your love and pashion for mustangs has been proven.:thumb:


Cheers Bas!    I'm currently awaiting my fibreglass front apron,bumper panel and hood to be shipped.1st week in september. I have ordered a carbon fibre bootlid and extensions but they wont be until the end of september.
Current works are(pics soon): racing harnesses being fitted, Aeromotive fuel cell with A1000 fuel pump and surge inhibitor inside being fitted to replace other fuel cell because I felt the current fuel system was too race car(messy). Not to mention that I couldn't get exhaust pipes past the tank and droning dusty drop pipes from the mufflers were not a prefered option.  Water pump drama continues so a Meziere remote(with inbuilt thermostat) is being fitted, idler pulley will go in place of current water pump to keep belt configuration correct, water crossover is being changed to look neater and to work with the water pump, conversion of radiator hoses from slip on hose to bolt on AN stainless, heater hoses configured in too, bugcatcher is being bolted up(linkages), fabricated glovebox being removed and original woodgrain clock dash face is being fitted, fitting alloy windscreen washer bottle...


My social life has suffered immensely since starting this project, with both working to make the coin to pay for it and the strict budget (don't leave the house mode) I've ran by. Being the social person I once was its testing my willpower.:violin: But hopefully soon I'll start to reap the rewards of my passion and love for these cars.:rub: I watched your build come and go and grit my teeth with envy to see it come together so fast. I see that you're doing the wedding photos and shows that I hope to soon do. live the dream mate!:cheers:

Mate, I sure am living the dream!!.....couldn't have done it without Steve from St.Marys though!
It could've easily turned into my worst nightmare.

I wish you the best of luck in your career and your build! can't wait to see the finished product!

...watching with anticipation.:thumb:

Remote water pump sits @ bottom right, pumps via 2 lines across front then around behind pulleys where they part to run to water inlets into the block on either side of the timing belt. Water then exits via the heads on both sides to the central thermostat housing then across to the radiator. This all came about due to the fitting of a danny bee timing belt which pushed everything too far forward for the standard water pump option. I couldnt just run an electric water pump in place because I needed a pulley to run the serpentine belt on. I had an idler pulley fitted on an alloy plate put in it's place. And on top of all that the cleveland heads on a windsor block also created water crossover complications. The finished product is FINALLY coming together.

Cheers.  Gotta do the bypass from the pump and heater hoses now. Some refinements could come later but happy for now.  Hopefully should have the water plumbing done by the end of next week. Then on to exhaust I guess..:therethere:

The new fuel cell has the A1000 pump mounted inside with surge tank. swirl pot/surge tank removed and lift pump no longer require. it's cleaned up the trunk space. Taken away the race car look that i didn't desire. Its also allowed me to run rear exhaust pipes instead of dump pipes before the diff!! So YES the previous fuel cell, swirl pot, lift pump and main pump will be for sale soon.

Hello 6t9rustang with running the fuel cell, can you still run the orginal fuel door with a modified filler neck to the fuel cell. I have a 70 mach1 iam restoring and going to run injection on my motor, and like the setup you have with the fuel cell.

Hi mate,   yes you can. That was my intention with the first cell. The cell I have fitted now maybe not.  The Fuel Safe Fuel Cell company sell the kit for what they call 'remote filling'. When I bought the original cell it was supposed to have the reote plate on it but arrived with the 'fill in boot' plate. So I was just going to alter a remote fill kit to suit the boot fill plate. There site has a huge catalog and heaps of info...
Here's a link fot the remote filler plate: http://www.fuelsafe.com/store/fill-plates-caps/remote-fill-plates/rfm6x10.html

Here's a link for the filler kit:   http://www.fuelsafe.com/store/fill-plates-caps/remote-fill-plates/rfk70.html
This is the bootfill plate they supplied on the cell: http://www.fuelsafe.com/store/fill-plates-caps/standard-fill-plates/sf6x10a.html

RRS brake upgrade. DBA 2 piece 345 rotors with 6 piston calipers. Rears are 315 with mini-6 piston calipers. I felt the PBR items weren't up to the task.

Well...I've fitted the carbon fibre bootlid and rear extensions. Fitment aint bad for a quick bolt on. Will need adjustments another time.

 THAT'S IT GUYS.... she's on the truck and going in the shed for approx. 5 months. :tissue: The project grinds to a halt...AGAIN! :tissue:
I've got some dental work approaching and it's big bucks.
