Here's an update.



I drove out to Claude's house this past weekend and we performed some upgrades on the car. On went the '88 8UA computer, bigger VAM, and the 35 lb. injectors. Thanks to Claude's and Jim's help, the process went smoothly and the car is running very well.
I still have to drill and tap a hole in the intake for the ACT sensor (it's hanging out in the engine bay for now), but everything seems to be great.
I also saw Claude's new Turbo Coupe, which has LOADS of potential.

There's a Nova under there...



Today I was able to mount my new gauge pod ('94-'95 Mustang) and relocate my boost gauge. I also mounted the A/F gauge and ran its wires into the dash, but I have a few more connections to make.

Yeah, it now has the '87-'88 intercooler and hood. It works pretty well, but I do plan on a front-mount in the next few months.

It's time to revive this thing.

You guys are going to love this. The paint on this car is in pretty poor shape. It's safe to say that the clearcoat is totally MIA on the top panels, and the primer is showing on the roof.
However, some of the clearcoat was left on the side panels, but it was very foggy. It looked like flat-finish paint.
After some compounding and a two-stage polishing process, I was able to breathe new life into the side panels.
Hey... I can't afford paint, so I'm doing the best I can. :shakeass:

Oh, yeah. I was able to fix most of the hood gap.
