What did you do to your foxbody mustang today?

[Bdubbs]

I change mine yearly as well regardless of miles. Oil oil tends to accumulate moisture, and byproducts of combustion which include carbon and other hydrocarbons which can form sulfuric acid which is, long story short, not a good thing.

So to avoid that, regardless of how much usage a particular item has had, i always change oil before storage. So for my cars, thats typically the final drive in the fall when i decide winter has finally arrived (usually when they throw the salt on the road).

Same goes for my lawn equipment and snowblower and such. After final use, i change the oil and then put it away.

I use to change mine before winter storage. Over the years I've done it both ways. I went 18 months on oil change intervals with the 03 cobra. I run Amsoil signature series 10w30.

Otherwise I've always done oil change yearly. It's honestly a lot of work when I need to change oil in 6 cars and almost feels like a waste. Especially seeing it look brand new when I'm draining it.

I hear ya. I drove 7 miles on my car last summer on an oil change. WHen it came out it looked like it was fresh out of the bottle.

Re-seal and polish on the wheels

Love the coupe! Such a nice color in person. Everytime I think about painting my rims black I see chrome and I’m like man I love the chrome

Pulled my axle out.

Changing out the cat-back, installing offset caliper brackets and fox-lenght axles, installing my panhard bar, and swapping out the 3.73's for some 3.27's., in addition to some fresh paint and hardware

Trying something different than the flowmasters i've had on the car for 20 years

Torque arm while you're in there and say bye bye to quadra bind and snap oversteer!

I do enjoy the chrome, I won’t lie.

I'll be installing a new transmission this weekend. Just went with a tremec t5 since it's just a cruiser.

It's the final part of the puzzle.

Unfortunately I haven't purchased one yet.

Maybe this summer, it will be out and about in MA (you seemed so close last summer)?

Where did you buy it from? I'm curious how long mine is going to last.

Got it from summit for 1950. Was going to get from LMR but it was 2k plus 189 for shipping.

My reverse went out so I needed one just to get out my garage.

Crazy.

Mine grinds sometimes putting it in reverse...

That's my plan. Just need to iron out the bugs so likely keeping it local at first. Hope to go to a few shows. I'm haven't hung out and talked "mustang" with anyone in several years.

I needed a hood prop rod for my 91. A previous owner had removed it and put hood shocks that won’t stay up. I got one, stripped all the old paint off and rattle canned it. Woohoo it looked great. Then I went to install it and the bolt wasn’t going in very good. I decided to chase it with a small tap and broke the tap off in the hole. An easy job got a lot harder. I ended up beating on it with punches and got it out. None of my drill bits would touch it. Sometimes an easy job can turn into a challenge!

This type of thing is what happens every time I work on my cars. It’s never smooth and easy. It’s always some kind of snafu that causes me to want to throw tools across the garage.

What made you decide to go with the Borla? Should be a nice sounding setup.

Did my transmission on Friday night started at 8pm finished at 3 am.
