After a loooooong winters nap covered in the heated garage...
Still got her baby shes on!!!
My projects for this summer are the following..
I have to replace the spare tire cover, i dont know if anyone has any ideas? I work for ford so i am going to see if there is any in any warehouse, although i doubt it.. maybe some rug cleaner might work. Im just lucky the trunk carpet is perfect, not 1 stain at all, just the cover.. it annoys me because the rest of the car is flawless..
The passengers door handles gasket is broken, and when you lift the handle it gets stuck up because it rubs, hopefully a new gasket (if i can find one) will fix the whole thing, if not, than i will try for whole new handle.
And i dont know what the hell hapened here??? looks like the factory glue came off... Oh well it will give me the chance to finally fix the lock actuator in the door while i have it apart.
The only other thing i may or may not address this summer is the power seat motors, i think from all the years of non use all the oils dried up. They work, just seem kinda week. The car was never a daily driver. The first four years of life it was owned by an old man who put only 16,000 miles on it in four years. Then the second owner bought it in 01 and literally bought it to collect it. He kept it in a heated garage on plastic. in the 7 years he had it he put only 12,000 miles on it. I bought it from him in 08, and i only put 2,000 miles on it. So its spent its whole life stored in a climate controlled garage. I don't put plastic on the floor however, i wonder if i should? The garage never gets colder than 50, and it has a solid cement floor.. Maybe i will over the winter for Shi** and giggles.
I want to take it to carisle this year soooo bad... hopefully i can make it.. Is there a class for completely stock??
My future plans are a polished cobra intake and a polished Vortech Supercharger.. and some cobra R wheels.. But that's when moneys a little better, Probably not for a few years.. But it will be done
Anyone else get their summer rides out today??
