If tomorrow's weather holds out, I'm swapping the axles and sway bar (Thanks again Jangus). I also got the brand new IAC in the mail today as long as the new Ford racing bearings and seals for the axles. One piece at a time. Need a vacation. One week and I could make a lot happen. Off for three days, but the weather is supposed to go to  tomorrow night....of course it is.

Ever notice the weather is always cold/precipitating every time one wants to/has free time to work on a car outside?

I've noticed it. LOL.

I JUST got finished swapping the bearings, seals and axles, as well as new fluid of course. No test drive yet. Still putting tols away and cleaning my space. I also just got my stereo from the Fed Ex guy, so, hopefully before tomorrow is over with, SiriusXM will finally be a reality. More news later after a test drive.

Going out to finish cleaning and install the new IAC.

More to do.....Kitz is sending me the heads for the car. AFR aluminum pieces. That can't hurt the Sport. A bit excited about that.

Today....... I installed the brand new gas struts for the trunk lid. Two 40# struts are perfect. Pope the switch, and the trunk lid slowly raises up. The wind doesn't blow it shut either.

I also finally got the new stereo installed and the Sirius XM satellite radio functional. Nice. Now, I have to spent a little time tomorrow figuring out how the whole stereo works. LOL.

 I am HOPING the antenna for the satellite radio works well. I put it in the rear window, in opening of the third brake light that faces the glass. I figure after the windows are tinted, it'll never be seen. I can't have the antenna stuck to the body with a wire following it. Not cool. So far it seems to be fine. I'll know for sure tomorrow when I have time to take the Sport out.

Didn't get a lot done. Fabbed a new access panel for the fuel pump in the trunk, and looked at the new valve covers. I gotta do some serious thinking to decide if I'm actually going to use them. I bought them late at night, and wasn't thinking so clearly. I'll need a one inch plenum spacer to use them which isn't a big deal. And I do have the hood clearance. LOL. Thanks for that Jerry.

I fabbed the new access panel for the Sports fuel pump access in the trunk. The other panel was not how I wanted it, so, made the new one. I also installed the new gas struts for the trunk lid. No more torsion bars. The wind can't close the trunk, yet it's still very easy to close. I fabbed the floor mounts and the hinge brackets.

Trunk lid with the struts turned out great Vinnie. Those torsion bars can be a %#@! to get back in place! Been there done that. LOL.

Mine can't go back in. I taped them together, cut them in half, pulled them out and tossed them in the trash. LOL.
