It will be good to see how the changes made to the rear of the car feel . New lca’s (Steeda) new rear shocks (B6’s) the shorter bump stops I should have installed 8 years ago and the air adjustable rear spring rate. Now just need Mother Nature to come to the party.

Moonshine -Shh don’t let the word get out! I’ve told everyone it’s to carry the tools and supplies required as tail end Charlie.
Looking good Gerry. Looking forward to pulling mine out of the corner ro tinker as well. Soon very soon. Probably 1 of the things they may help keep us sane over the next few weeks.

We. are all getting the FEVER? In today’s world to avoid a major lockdown of all Maritime Mustang sites I must clarify. It’s car season fever, Not Covid 19 !!!

The bump stops arrived - so time for comparison
But they are the same height ? Did I order and wait for the same parts I had ? Back to the web site - turns out that the new parts I ordered are made of a softer compound so they “squish” easier making the ride less harsh when you come down on the stops . All good.
I made some bracket to hold the individual air adjustment valves
Rear wheels back on - now need decent weather for a good road test

Got a parcel in the mail today - I had almost given up on seeing this. Hope to get there some year - after this Covid19 craziness is over
Very cool Gerry!!

Prized possession there for sure Gerry, merits a Prime spot in the house as it’s too nice for the garage ?

With my 05 getting close to the 250,000 k mark it’s time for some maintenance. As I don’t see replacing it with anything else anytime soon I’ve got to make it last. The bottom / internals of the 4.6 3v are good for lots of miles but the chain guides, adjusters / phasers are a known weak point. I’ve been hearing a bit of chain rattle at start up occasionally so before things go totally out I’m planning to replace the adjusters, guides ,chains and phasers over the winter. Parts are now on order but like everywhere else, waiting on suppliers to get stock back. I’ve ordered the Ford racing kit - comes with the adjusters, chains ,guides , seals, phasers and bolts. I managed to catch a Boxing Day sale to that helped a bit - Canadian dollar to us hurts even when buying form Cdn suppliers - they had to buy in USD so we all pay .
I’ll try to remember to take and post photo’s as this project progresses

Keep us posted. I was planning on putting cams in my car this past summer but didn't get around to it, and this was a task I was also going to do while I was in there. Good luck ?.
