What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Jccams]

Replaced the original battery, (7 yrs) not bad. Added redline tuning hood struts, great upgrade.

I made a piolet bearing install tool and got that install done. I hope to button this transmission project up tomorrow. It is nice to be retired so I just work at my own pace.

New piston shift knob from Lathe Werks. Around 500 grams. Works with factory lockout.

Woke it up from its slumber …

• Disconnected the battery tender.
• Foamed (Bilt Hamber).
• Foamed again and agitated all seals and shut lines with brushes.
• Two bucket wash (strong mix of Meguiars shampoo plus to make it extra slick).
• Trunk shut.
• Door shuts.
• Hood shuts.
• Removed battery cover, checked and cleared drains.
• Quick under hood clean.

I didn’t do the wheels, the brakes have got a lot of surface rust to clear (and I’ve got new wheels to ceramic coat and fit).

Fired right up, like it was run yesterday.

Short drive - can’t really leave the estate (not taxed yet).

I felt like the Mustang gods blessed me :

• No nasty surprises.
• No damp trunk.
• No damp carpets.
• No battery terminal corrosion.

It’s shocking how much crap accumulates under the hood vents, in the trunk shuts, and around the bulkhead / hood hinges / battery tray etc.

A few photos, just to liven up my post :

Will it make it to six … ? :

So now the ‘winter ‘reset’ is complete, I can move on with the ‘summer prep’ …

Wait the steering wheel is on the wrong side . You need to move it the the left . That looks so odd . Don't take me wrong , being a Yank I've never experienced that. I've seen it, but like having your shoes on backwards over here. Cheers mate ...

You mean on the right side don't you.

100%! is called the right side for a reason. Clue is in the title from a fellow right side driver you are spot on

Had my car towed to the dealership. My hope is by the end of the day I can proclaim, IT'S ALIVE!! Time will tell...

Slowly but surely working at getting this thing peeled. Granted, I’ve not had it back in my hands too long from getting the bumper painted.
(And yes, if you zoom in on my tires, they’re on backwards. Just realized that while laying in my driveway.)

Unboxed my QuickJack 8000TLX lift and used it to install RTR front lip, side skirts, side rocker splitters & rear diffuser.

@BigBrian27 I love my quickjack

Don't know how I lived without it all these years!

RWD w/ LSD and a few extras. Loved the Mustang. Just wanted something different for a while. We only get so many cars before we check out so…...

How does it drive/handle and what’s the Powertrain in those?
