Thanks for all the love and support on my last post ? here are some snapshots of the interior from the day everything got pulled out (March 2020) to now (April 2021.) I installed sound deadening and some carpet. Then installed the dash up. Still have things to finish on the interior (cables , headliner, door panels, etc.) Right now I’m focused on fixing some of the mechanical issues I’m feeling when driving : fuel gauge not working (probably a ground issue) and gears feeling like they aren’t shifting, and that electrical short I had. I’m still not confident enough to drive this daily, and I’m trying to decide what all the rumbling means and what’s right and what’s not and what feels good and what feels off. I guess that’s everyone journey with a classic - figuring out what’s “normal” vs what a problem??? hope you’re all having an amazing weekend! ?

Found out today one of my neighbors does NOT like how the mustang sounds ??‍♀️ a little too much noise (sorry neighbor.) anyway - just a hotchpotch of random pics from the past day and a half! Removed the rust on the front rotors by wire wheeling then spray painted, changed the washer out, redid the lug nuts to the right torque specs and on and on. My hubcaps keep falling off ? anyway, I’ll be polishing up the chrome pieces and working on final touches and some electrical stuff. If you see me cruising around la this week honk at me ?‍♀️ hope you guys are having an amazing weekend! Thanks to my best friend for some action pics of me ? @gabrielachvz

Nice work! Thankfully the body looked in decent shape to start with, lots of these are pretty rusty at least around here. Inspiring me to get a Mustang of my own!
