What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Joe B.]

She's sitting outside now half the time and driven in the elements, so was crying for a buff and wax.

Very nice. I really like your garage space as well.

Thanks. I had 15 months to get it ready waiting for the car to come in.

Got my alignment all finished today.. now I can move on to my ESS kit install. So when I got home from the alignment I tossed in my DW400 fuel pump and found a surprise under my back seat. I had my car stored for winter and had put moth balls all around the car, obviously it didn’t work. Fuckin little critters.

Tied a bow on my super charger and fuel system install.

In loving memory.. Orange Twister GT

Still have the fuel door!
For or a couple of days I will drive around like that.
Btw, I really dig the spoiler delete on this one. On the other hand, it needs a spoiler!

Put it back on the charger, lol. Sigh. Winter just won't stop molesting us over here. At least it's not as bad as in NorCal....

How they got in? Hopefully they didn't have your wire harness for dessert.

I replaced my 6 year old battery. Voltage had been reading low(12.2). Now I find I had left a dome light on. Don't know if there's a connection, but it was time anyway.

No damn clue how they got in. I’ve been wondering myself, I need to take a deeper look.

I’ve been driving the car for about two weeks here and there. I do have an issue with my active exhaust not working at all, I assumed that was on me since I was adjusting my exhaust and pinched a wire.. I’ve replaced the harness and it still isn’t working, haven’t had time to look into it more yet. Was hoping to find some time today. Other than that, I haven’t seen anything else that was damaged, I’ll have to take a closer look though.. moth balls didn’t do a damn thing, going to have to find something else to try and keep them away.

I've had luck with peppermint oil - soak cotton balls and place in open plastic bag under hood and interior. Plus the smell isn't like death ie mothballs...gg

I found this thread and got the idea from there:
https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/diy-wheel-cribbing.173104/

I cut the 2x4's into 16" lengths and built the boxes 3 layers high (so they're 4.5" tall). I built 12 boxes total to give me options for height. I added a couple of extra 2x4's to 4 of the boxes to serve as the tops to give the tires a little extra surface area to rest on. All in all, pretty easy project. And I feel MUCH safer with these instead of jack stands with ramps under the wheels.

I’m glad you liked my idea and it worked for you. I feel so much safer under my car when it’s up on my wheel cribs.

First modification was to turn off the seatbelt chime for both driver and passenger seats. Next up was tint. Not sure what's next. I want to get 1000 miles on it so I can do an oil change and then play a little harder with it.

I forgot all about this. What did I do on Tuesday you mean?

I got the latest calibration for the SC installed and the learn mode re-initiated so the transmission can properly re-learn the drive modes. Now I need some dry weather days to drive it for a full tank of gas, in normal, with a light foot and no paddle shifting.

Added Ford floor mats. They fit like a glove, best mats I owned so far. They are thick and feel sturdy. I used some of my Ford points, you still have to pay for shipping.

Absolutely! Feel much safer with the cribbing vs jack stands. Thank you for sharing the information and giving us the idea!
