For those of you silently following (you should post!, but here's some pics)...

 

The official "before" picture before the journey started:

MANY MANY MANY HOURS later...doesn't look all too different, but I promise you there was a lot of efforts put in today. All the tear down and removal of things takes forever! At least when it's a ford anyway.

Garage isn't too bad a mess

Honestly my preferred tool of the day...the Ford Wrench

A sweet glimpse at the beginning of some real fun ahead...

Where the car sits tonight as it sleeps and waits for Day 2...

And of course my perfect helper -- should have shown you the back of that shirt...was once white. He made a LOT of today possible. <3

lol. Still living...no leaks...HOLY SHIT. 

 

But, really not drive-able yet. Need to have things logged and checked out...plus....

 

I'm waiting on an exhaust bracket to show up to truly finish the whole gig. 

 

I also need to put the wheel weights back on the car -- along with the wheels. The front bumper also needs to go back on at some point...lol

IT LIVES. 

 

Got to move it for the first time today...had to go drive a little to log data.

 

Had to take it easy, but part of tuning does indeed require WOT in 3rd gear...hell yea!!! 

 

Did nicely. :)

 

All back togethers.

Okay -- got to drive the little thing for the first time (well really second -- though this is the first time I actually got to drive, not tune).

 

Doesn't seem to quick in the vids, but didn't want to slam around to hard first go...got a drive planned tomorrow, so maybe more vid to come. :)
