All done , Took me 6 months to rebuild from bare shell up

Now fitted

ok Pakrat here it is , Let me know your thoughts ! Cheers Kevin

Yes Pakrat is right , magnaflow 15816 2.5" through hooker long tube headers. Seat pan brace is now done , being powdercoated today , Post pics tommorow

After 17 years , thats when i stripped it, running again. This is the video , click the photo to watch , cheers kevin

Cheers you guys , glad you like what i am doing, To answer a few questions , The seat pan brace is the one thing that need modifying , I will fab a new one with extra bends to clear the exhaust x pipe . I did try it through the seat pan brace hole , but was hard up on the e-brake cable and hard up on the floor pan just before the rear boxes .Going under the brace was to low , So with the brace out, the system run where the brace was . Yes 2.5 " system The time these jobs take is a labour of love , The magnaflow system has been on & off 4 times to get it right , But i am there now , all fitted & welded . Even though its a bought system you have to fab headers to system joints, drill new s/s hangers for rear boxes , weld rear hangers to system , Then i have welded 3" slash cut s/s tips on , Did not like the turn down magnaflow ones . First start up this weekend !!!!

Cheers guys Fitted headman long tube headers , Now fitting full magnaflow dual exhaust system .

Got ready Saturday to fit engine & box Fitted sunday , Left the bonnet on , Heads off , makes it easy

First time this year , got the car car out of the garage to fit the front windows & have a look at the paint in the sun !

Spot on SWPruett , Great stuff to use , Bends easy , Flares easy , Never rusts. Mike , I think the company back in the sixtys only converted 50 mustangs to RHD , This was done when the cars were new . My car was built for export DSO 90 on the 18th april 1969 ,shipped over to the uk , arrived August 69 ,spent a few months in a work shop being converted to RHD , Sold new in 1970 to a company in north England (COMPANY CAR )I think, Then i bought it in 1995 , The 14th owner and have been working on & off it ever since , It was very rough & had all the usual mustang rot & bad repairs , I have had highs & lows with the car but thats half the fun when you drive your hard work down the road !

All wiring finished , everything works ! I hate wiring . Modified the looms for a clean look extending wires & reroute ,New windsheild fitted with the window weld ribbon , Fitted new steering wheel , I like the look of it , Its a grant . power top works , But need to fit the new black top . Fitted new front section of ebrake today , That was a crap job , Trying to feed the cable through 5 holes . Need to fit engine & box next .

Yes dennyb68 is correct , the fat single wire is the shifter illumination light .

WELL this my seam basic but check your wheel offsets , swap wheels over left to right to see if the problem stays on the same side ? just a though .:cool::cool::cool:

Few pics from this weeks work Been doing the engine bay wiring , :-<:-<:-< What i trying to do is keep as much of the loom out of sight as i can, Running the main engine bay loom under the engine, The wiper loom should come through the bulk head then through upper cowl to the wiper motor , that looks a mess so now that loom runs inside the car up through the lower cowl to the wiper motor . Cheers Kevin

Been busy working on the interior & wiring Then fitted grills to shelby side scoops Then fitted rear quarter window That is the original dash pad sprayed in high coat interior paint , Easy to use & make a good job, Lucky no cracks in the dash pad, but it has been in the uk all its life ( not to much sun to crack it ) Cheers Kevin

Your not wrong about the cost , + Shipping to the uk $$$$$$$$$ But its worth it , You got to have what you want in life , You cant take the $ or £ with you . The shroud for the rad , I was thinking of fabing one if i use the belt driven fan , or may fit a electrical driven fan . Got any pics of you car ? Cheers Kevin

Cheers Javed, well pleased with how well its going , Just ordered a black/stainless steel grant steering wheel to finish of the interior .

Or buy the down pipes to go with the kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/Magnaflow-16446-Exhaust-Down-Pipe-for-69-70-Mustang-with-351-/320994092354?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1969%7CModel%3AMustang&hash=item4abcbd2542&vxp=mtr

Glad to help , Take your time and do the job once & do it right , Its winter your car is of the road ? No rush then , You can weld you wing plates straight to the towers , that will help & the gusset inside tower to frame rail , To stop the cracks you need something in the engine bay side were the UCA bolts come through the tower . Good luck , Post pics for us . Cheers Kevin
