And three years ago today it arrived in Blighty!
How time flies!

[Hooli]

Bloody hell, is it really that long?

[mercrocker]

Not really, it fits quite well on there.

Never thought id be writing this but I am seriously thinking of selling the Mustang

I could give you all a reason but they are numerous

Sam's Illness,Dad's ill and Mum has Dementia and somewhere down the bottom my own mental wellbeing.

Not sure my heart is in it anymore?

I always wanted a Mustang II ever since I was little I have had one and nobody can ever take that away from me but ive got the van on the go and I am just not sure the mustang fits anymore?

In some ways I think I waited too late in my life to have one I should of done it 20 years ago

And also with doing the van in a redneck couldn't give a toss way I have found it really liberating.

Shitey was fun but once I went down the road of nice paint EFI etc etc the fun has gone out of it!

Once the Van is done there's only one car left on my bucket list a Mk1 Cortina and the cost is prohibitive now so not sure ill ever have one?

Will I finish the car?

Who knows?

What with the whole Covid BS its not the best time to be selling stuff but hey maybe I need to walk away for my own sanity?

Ill keep you all in the loop

[Warren t claim]

Don't sell in haste!

[LynehamHerc]

WHS.

Just leave it for a while, it won't run away.

Seconded/thirded....It is not eating anything, the weather won't kill it for at least another four months. You may be living in a different world by then....

A mate of mine had a Mussie 2 and out of the dozens of Yanks he's owned it is the one he misses most, largely because it gave a great big dose of V8 Seventies goodness without taking up half the street and unable to fit in a garage.

Holy Wobstang Batman an Update an actual real boni fide Update
So Shitey is still covered up but the spare better dash has been standing up on end in the corner of the bedroom collecting dust for 2 years!

Operation interior begins!

Small steps but with the weather we have been having you take what you can get!

Couple of years ago as I started getting better condition replacement trim but in several colours i tried and failed to get a colour made up to make everything match

At the time everybody on Mustang groups were saying you need SEM Colour Coat.

Easy for them to say being in the states but try getting it over here

I tried everywhere that sold it in USA no dice they wouldn't send it to the UK

Then the shipper who brought Shitey over threw a lifeline

Classic Industries in the states sold it in the correct Ford Mid Metalic Blue and my shipper has a base in Florida,and Classic Industries have a branch in Florida

They had 5 cans in at the time I bought the lot,my shipper got them and shipped them in a car in a container and then Plandemic 20 and nothing got done

Fast forward to now Says you must use everything SEM or your head would fall off

You know the Drill?

For hard plastic you need to clean with SEM Soap,Then SEM Grease remover,Then SEM Adhesion Promotor

Of Course you do

I scrubbed up with Stardrops
Degreased with Upol Panel Wipe
and Used Mipa Adhesion Promoter

And all is well I have counted all my fingers all there

And the Webbed feet?

Yes they are still webbed

Dash was a copper coloured so in case there was any reaction i just recoloured the ashtray



And glovebox lid



Here is the ashtray against the Dash to show what colour it is now,it shows up like diarrhea tan but honestly its copper



Drying off nicely in the Van now



And the reason I'm doing this,the better dash is Copper,then there's an Avacado Dash Top and Console



The rear quarters are different again.as are the c pillar covers



Its a race against time as the paint is on the turn and I am not doing it again after how hard it is to get it to the UK

[Hooli]

That'll smarten it up

[8BAK465]

That'll smarten it up

Hope so

Its still got no headliner cant be bothered with taking out screens etc so thinking of making a hard FG one and covering it with original headliner material

Hoping to get it uncovered in next week or so when the whether brightens up got to drain the tank the fuel is nearly 2 years old.

But these small jobs are a start
