Return of the Mustang!

So about 2 months ago someone made a left hand turn in front of me, giving me about 10-20 feet to stop while traveling at 35mph (their fault of course). So now my Saturn is totaled and the insurance money is going towards fixing up the old Mustang from High School (a.k.a Catrina - not like the huricane, that was spelled with a "K").

So I started the process this week and have found it quite enjoyable. Who ever thought the bringing a classic back to life would be so much fun. To start I put in a new alternator (the newest looking part on the car now). Then I replaced the oil, oil filter and solinoid. As of now it doesn't turn over, somehow the battery died. So hopefully after the battery charges again I will get it to turn over and be that much closer to a running Mustang.

Coming soon is the new Gas Tank and hopefully I will have a decent running car that will be able to make multiple trips to and from LA to SF Bay Area. My goal is to save as much money as I can to apply towards body work and a basic paint job to keep rust out.

More to come, maybe I'll even add some more pictures. The latest is a look at my missing Sheild Plate for the transmission.
