What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[gimmie11s]

Hey Cobra Jet, surprisingly it wasn't rolled lol. More of a head on driver side oriented crash to the wall that finished with a side swipe. Only the knee airbag went off. The car still runs, but I have a LONG road ahead of me to get it where it was.

What track? Irwindale?

I went thru some water and then tried to get em loose and they didnt, so thats a good sign. Of course after two weeks its stopped flooding, so have to wait for more rain to get a good idea.

Thanks, I

Thanks for the reply. Not that you have the new tires it probably won't rain for weeks!

Gave it a well deserved bath and applied ceramic detail spray.

Replaced the factory ignition coils with Pertronix units. Wiped and vacuumed the engine compartment.

Got the BMR rear shock tower brace driver's side bracket in and tightened along with the actual crossbar in place. Fine tuning and adjustment is coming soon. I took it for a preliminary drive for some takeout and already noticed the stiffer feel. Gotta get the back lowered and the Steeda subframe braces on...

Ordered the MMD Billet Aluminum Fuel Door; Black. Went back and forth trying to decide between that one and Drake fuel doors. A bit more pricey but I wanted without any logo.
should have in 3 days.

Wow - yea, glad you're ok/safe and not injured - any hard touch off the wall like that is always a cringer....

I saw you started a rebuild thread; I'll keep checking that one out for your progress.

Are you tapping salvage yards or this site for replacement sheet metal and other needed parts? Also eBay, and LKQ are good sources too - especially color matching used parts. Check out the "Parts Farm" too, they're a Mustang salvage group and usually have quite a bit of parts.

Finally found time to machine polish the bonnet. Weather was perfect. No wind, a bit cloudy and not too hot. Had some annoying holograms and webbing and few fine scratches.

Just did one pass with Chem Guys V36 on a Hex Logic Green (all rounder) pad - came up alright I think. After that, I gave her a wash and a coat of Fusso King of Gloss.

Then my dad started to wash his Audi and asked me to wax it too. Kona Blue vs Turbo Blue, mid wash.

Drove in a tunnel with current exhaust mods.
