Reece's Car Thread-WTF DID I BUY NOW

[Sage Ages]

Is the 240 keeping the KA?

 

[Anna+Reece]

Yeah those auto's aren't too bad fortunately. Would be worth it to swap a T5 in though

Something like that...

We'll see. If I keep it long enough I might.

Is the 240 keeping the KA?

For now it is. Will probably beat around with it this year and do a swap this fall, unless I find something before then.

 

[Anna+Reece]

Hey booooooooooooooys

 

[Anna+Reece]

This car makes me giggle. I need to trim the skirts REALLY badly. The front bumper fit like a glove. Rear bumper is still being painted.

It snowed today. I almost didn't get back in my garage. The hood is drying as you read this and is being put on in a few days. RED

 

[Perfect Balance]

Cooool. Now you've got the same problem I had for the longest time. The rear sits super high. I just got some valances to fit this on mine, but haven't installed them. Snow outside.

 

[Ibonibo]

Nice

It looks weird like this haha. What valances did you buy?

Nice

Thank you!

Updates, I guess?
Sold the blue wheels. Sparcos go on. These wheels are super duper rare. But sadly they look kinda weird on a 240.

I got a decent amount of money for the blue wheels, so I bought a set of my dream wheels and those should be arriving within the next week or two.

Then when I sell the wheels, CEL comes on in the Saab. God no. Take it to the dealer the next day. Bad MAF. Good thing they had a new one in the shop. But that wasn't cheap...

New radio bezel arrived!

Door card is in the basement too. Putting that on after I do fun things to it.

Also I replaced the fan clutch. Rad. Turn the car on, it doesn't sound like a vacuum any more! Awesome!
Walk behind the car to hear it, and I saw something dripping. Wtf. Look under the car. Fuel line ruptured. OF COURSE.

So with that, since I won't be in town for two weeks, I am bringing the car to the place where I bought the Saab to get the line replaced. I know, I know, I'm a P word for not doing my own work to my car. I would replace the line, but I just told you my excuse.

Said place has a nightmare of an incline, AND speedbumps, and raising the car is out of the question. So it will look like this for a few days.

Gross. Yeah.

First meet is in 3 weeks. I don't know if the car will be ready or not.
I still need to:
-Install the seat
-Put on new wheels
-Paint rear bumper
-Put on new hood
-Get alignment
-Get Spacers for new wheels
-Touch up paint on skirts and fenders and front bumper
-Put kit back on
-Oil change
-Put door cards back on
-Cry, because I might not get all of this done
And I only have two weekends to do this.

IT'S GO TIME, FELLAS!

 

[Thatman]

sounds fun!

 

[Anna+Reece]

Update.

New fan clutch. Great. Immediately after, bad fuel line. Replaced that. Great. Tie rod bends the same day. Replace that, get alignment. Great. Everything's fine now. Alternator goes out today. WTF I'm going to light this thing on fire. Now I've spent lots of event money on stupid crap that SHOULDN'T be breaking.

The lifts at the alignment place messed up the passenger rocker panel. Oh well, I have skirts in the basement anyway.

The more I look at it, the more I want to keep stock body... Nah.

I painted my other hood red, finally. Don't have it on yet, because I lost the bit I used to drill my hood pin holes. So now I need to get another tomorrow.

I bought new wheels. Modex KS-05R (Keiichi Tsuchiya wheels). One of the rears is curbed HORRIBLY and bent. Turns out the previous owner used them as spares and smacked a curb while street drifting. So now I need spacers to put the fronts on. Sold the blue wheels. Got a good deal on the KS-05Rs, which are some of my dream wheels. But I'm dumb and...
A) Haven't put them on yet
B) Haven't taken pictures of them yet

Probably putting them on tomorrow. Putting rear bumper support in again. Putting the kit back on. I mocked up the rear bumper. It looked like balls at this high ride height. My driveway is the DEVIL if you have a lowered car. What to do, what to do...

Might try to get my seat together too. Frame rails are being replaced soon. I drove this car for the first time in a very long time. I giggled. I got lots of weird looks. I forgot how loud this car is. I LOVE it. Never selling it.

Until next time? Until next time.

Dem Longchamps.

Dem Longchamps.

They are my favorite wheels ever and I am beyond excited to have them. I might put them in the rear though.

 

[Sage Ages]

Do you have 4 of them or just those 2?

 

[Anna+Reece]

Do you have 4 of them or just those 2?

Just two.
They're from Up Garage.

 

[Anna+Reece]

Wheel teaser

Ordered spacers, they should be here tomorrow. Put the kit on. Sideskirt fell off on the freeway, oh boy. Didn't lose it though, it's in the back of the car right now. But, enough. Time to focus on this thing for a few days.

 

[mustang fanatic]

Is that exhaust stock?

@Slash might know this one.

 

[Sage Ages]

Go find two more then. You'll have the best 240 ever.

Aftermarket exhaust?

 

[Slash]

Its not. They had dual pipes out the back.

 

[mustang fanatic]

I figured that. I thought it might have been a option or something.

 

[Sage Ages]

SVO makes a side exhaust, but it looks nothing like the one in the picture.

Here's your answer Glasspack, side exit with custom tips. LOVE IT, aside from all the times I burn my leg. And like Custom878 was saying, I thought at first they were SVO pipes. But they look different. Not sure. But it sounds cool and it makes everyone think I'm a real man until they find out I bought it that way.

Go find two more then. You'll have the best 240 ever.

Oh trust me I've been looking... Incredibly rare and hard to find. I'd pay goooooood money for another 16 inch pair.

Forgot to post this.

 

[Sage Ages]

Put your plate on properly.

 

[Slash]

Still would love to hear the mustang growl lol

 

[Anna+Reece]

Put your plate on properly.

Then I have to drill into the kit...

I forgot about that haha. I'll get something tomorrow. And if I don't, be sure to bust my balls.

 

[Slash]

Haha awesome. Can't wait!

 

[Anna+Reece]

BROUGHT HER HOOOOOOME

Went to a meet

Did some clutch kicks and power over in a parking lot

[Sage Ages]

Looks great, just need to fix the quarter panels and fitment.

My quarter panel legitimately makes me sad

 

[JrDarknes]

Car is looking awesome, the kit looks a lot better than I thought.

 

[SVX]

Car is looking a lot better, nice work. 👍

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Yes the body kit is a huge improvement. Looks a lot better now. That's also a very nice looking Mustang.
