Its really not worth it... As well as only a relatively small saving, you have the worry of having 10 gallons of extremely volatile fuel stored in your garage. Then theres the hassle of putting it in your car at a later date with funnels and hoses. Spill it on some kinds of paint, and you could dama...

Little bit of progress today. Still no gearbox parts turned up, so busied myself with a few cosmetic jobs. Removed the nasty looking purple 383 decal from the bonnet, and repainted the inserts black.

Hmmm, seems theres a few Mustang fans here! I think i may have been expecting too much from my Mustang, being the icon that it is. I think it looks absolutely wonderful, but i didn't fit in it, and it was uncomfortable to drive with very poor visiblity. After spending all that money, it left me a bi...
