Huge thanks to Stefan @ Performance Fuel Injection for hooking me up with these Ford 160lb injectors , cleaned,flow matched and tested for performance and various fuel pressures.

These things should cover me just fine until I make north of 2000hp



Should also have some more pics in the next little while of the finished engine mounts and some more shiney bits as they come in, in the next little while I expect:

My wheels
New black Dash pad
New Strange brake master cylinder

and even more to come, stay tuned!

I will just say the fans of the old car will like this one


After a text message crash course from nolan I tried out the tig, I have been wanting to try it for a while just never really bothered.

First few attempts were brutal but once I figured out the idea I think it came along well this is the 1st full bead I laid:





The Second full bead.... Looks decent to me? Keep in mind that it only starts half way back, the one further up was a first attempt.






I also finished my other engine mount so now both mounts are done, Just gotta pull the K member out to finish welding the stands and clean it up to be re-coated. Outside was Tig welded and inside mig welded because I couldnt get the torch in there very well.
