That's random Aaron. Update on 3565, I just bought a alternator, funds ran low when I had to get the Mystic up to snuff. Now I came down on orders to move somewhere else. We're selling our home and the car will go in storage once again. I will go to AZ end of January for 4 months and we still don't know where we are moving after that. It will be a unit that is deploying soon after I get there. More storage time on the 93 :cry: But I will do what I can till I put it up in storage.

Well svt3565 that kinda sucks that you have to put it on the back burner again. I have an extra set of wheels now that I would like to get chromed or black chromed myself.

She finally runs!!! After almost 10 years of being gutted by some cheese #%$@ and being pieced back together.
Shipping it from GA to NY in the next few weeks.

Sure has. Picked it up from you 8 years ago. 93 and 04 will be here on the 11th. Have to install CC plates and alignment before I even think of driving it. Lowering springs installed. Mechanic said it sits nice and low.

I've moved closer this past month. Went to the Carlisle Nationals and bought a good amount of parts from Fox Restoration and the swap meet. They had great discount prices.

This past month's work:

Installed Smoked headlights and fog lights
New Cobra emblem on intake manifold
Replace moon roof weatherstrip
Picked up most of my missing interior and exterior bolts thanks to a member on here and swap meet.
New 8" antenna
Replaced the cowl vent grill and windshield molding
Installed original gas tank, new gas filler seal, fuel filter, and 190 LPH Walbro fuel pump.


Major work still left:
-Reverse and blinkers inop, keeps blowing 15amp fuse. I have to trouble shoot but according to wire diagram, I think it has to do with the reverse wires. Hazards work, so I know blinkers work.
-Fog lights inop
-Vacuum lines not 100%
-Tranny might need rebuild. Only drove 2 times, just not smooth going into 1st and 2nd.
-Tune engine

Minor work still left:
-Radio and speakers
-Better exhaust set up
-Purchase and install A/C

After reading my thread with moving and deployments while finding time and $$, it sounds crazy to say once again I'm deploying after this New Years. I'll find my fate on deployment whether I have to move spring of 2018 or remain in NY. I'll do what I can this summer to the car before she sits another 9 months next summer. Everything on this car is almost new so it has nothing but time lol.
