November 2004	First attempt to start
		My first  attempt to start did not go far. The engine would not turn over just "click".  So it was time to put the battery on the charger. In the mean time I worked on wiring up a DPDT switch for the headlights and  I bought a 3PDT relay to use for the flashers.  I had to do this because I did not keep those switches from my donor. Besides I think I will like the look of these switches instead of having the old Mustang donor switch under the dash board. That little rocker switch activates the relay for the flashers.
		I was still waiting for the battery to charge so I added the hand brake per the manual. I found some better locations for the hand brake on the forum so I don't think it will stay here but for now this is where it is.
		I had to go to the junk yard to get the fuel vapor canister.  It was one of those things I did not take out of the donor.  Opps. I think I will be moving this canister up to the firewall away from the hot pipes. Battery was charged. Engine still will not crank! I took out the starter and found out the starter won't spin but there was a great show of sparks when I hooked it up directly to the battery. Time for a new starter.  Yes that is the new starter in the picture. You probably don't believe me when I say these parts came from a running donor!
