 Interior aluminum panel install

engine egr valve
After plugging vacuum leaks, cleaning the EGR valve and timing the engine it still runs rough. More debug led to the discovery I had a 1988 donor not a 1989 donor. The new computer I bought was the wrong one.  Dummy!

A new computer is on order. Note to self: when buying new parts get them for the 1988 Mustang.

Look closely and you can see I reworked the connection of the coolant temp sensor so I could run coolant up to the egr valve. It is only the third time I changed that setup.





Roll bars

While waiting for the new computer I put some of the rubber cusion on the sheet metal edges and drilled the holes to bolt the roll bars in place.

I did invest in a new 5/16 drill bit. If I did not do that I would probably still be out there drilling.






transmission front cover Next  I installed some of the interior aluminum. First to rivet in place was the front transmission cover.

The transmission tunnel top piece was just there to help me line up the front cover  correctly.
