I haven’t had any luck getting the idle smoothed out yet. I’ve tried basically everything I can think of, along with all the suggestions from over at Fordsix.com. It’s still shaking, and still surging and jerking while at cruise (though I have a feeling the fix ...
read moreDoing a bit better
I’ve been driving the Mustang around a fair bit the past few days. It’s giving me issues here and there, but overall it’s going pretty well.
The idle is still rough with the engine shaking around, and nothing I’ve tried points to anything wrong. Idle a ...
read moreLegal again
I went ahead and got it reinspected today. The last inspection certificate had expired before I was home, so I wasn’t able to get my tags updated. It passed again, and so I drove it over to the DMV to renew my plates and drove back home.

Just about have the Mustang drivable. I came home for winter break a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been working on it basically everyday since. So far, I’ve (in no real order):
- Finished welding a few spots on the floor that I missed over the summer
- Painted ...
Temporarily installed interior
And here’s where the giant update comes to an end. On 8/24, I installed the interior. Nothing’s bolted in or screwed down; it’s just sitting in there since there’s no room to store it anywhere else. I figured I may as well take some pictures ...
