Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement

Since I got the car its had vibration at higher speeds.  While changing the rear brakes found the reason why.  Rear wheel bearings were worn out.  Unfortunately, it’s not a simple case of going to the local partsContinue reading

Rear Disc Brake Upgrade

The rear drum brakes needed a rebuild.  The shoes were worn out and the drums didn’t look in great shape.  Rather than rebuilding the drums, I decided to go with a disc upgrade to matchContinue reading

Radiator Upgrade

The radiator has had a tiny leak since I’ve had the car.  I used some sealant as a stop-gap measure.  However, the leak finally got so bad it really needed a proper solution.  Ordered a newContinue reading

Brake Pedal Pad

Since the Lokar throttle pedal was installed had to change the pad on the brake pedal to match. This was supposed to be a bolt on.  However, since I have a new brake pedal whichContinue reading

Throttle Pedal MKII

Since the 1969 upgrade did not work decided to go for a Lokar throttle pedal and cable. Install went smoothly, everything fit well.

27th July 201826th August 2018 RichUpgrades

Throttle Pedal Upgrade

Decided to upgrade the throttle pedal to a cable system.  The 1967 Mustang uses pushrod system for the kick down and throttle.  While it works, with the EFI upgrade just didn’t have enough control over the throttle.  WhenContinue reading

Steering Wheel

New wood steering wheel! 🙂 Since I’ve had the car the horn hasn’t really worked.  I tried to fix it a few times it but just didn’t have the right parts. So decided to go with a twoContinue reading

Export Brace

When I bought the car it came with an export brace.  It was not fitted to the car.  The issue was that the front struts were too close together by about 10mm. I guess that’s whyContinue reading

Brake Upgrade

The time came to upgrade the brakes. Had enough of being on edge while driving anticipating when less cautious drivers plan to pull out in front or cut me up :/ Started by removing the oldContinue reading

29th April 2018 RichUpgrades

Rear seatbelts

Rear seat belts installed.  Lap belts for now, might install 3 point later on.

15th April 201815th April 2018 RichUpgrades

Three Point Seatbelts

A little safety upgrade, three-point belts installed.  Install was fairly straightforward. As with any car hope to never need them 🙂    

7th January 2018 RichUpgrades

Head Unit Upgrade

The car came with single din Kenwood head unit.  It didn’t really suit the car.  I really wanted to change back to a classic style radio.  The problem was that when the single din head unitContinue reading

Holley Dual Sync

To finish up the EFI install a Holley Dual Sync distributor was added.  Its pretty much plug and play with the Holley Sniper. The wiring had been prepared when installing the sniper EFI.  Only hadContinue reading

Alternator Replacement

The original charge system failed and would no longer charge the battery.  Upgraded to a one wire alternator replacement.  Removed the voltage regulator and installed a 4 gauge power wire to the battery.  A nice solid chargeContinue reading

New Wheels

Ordered some American Racing Torq Thrust D wheels. The colour is vintage silver.  They are 15″ x 7J.  This will allow the fitting of disc brakes as part of a future upgrade. That was notContinue reading

EFI

Carburettor rebuild The story begins with some carburettor issues.  Since I got it was not perfect, sometimes it seemed to over-fuel when slowing.  However, the main issue was that the secondaries would get stuck open after goingContinue reading

Neutral safety switch

Since I got the car it kept blowing a fuse.  It was intermittent with no particular pattern.  I kept putting in fuses with larger and larger ratings.  In hindsight not the wisest course of action.Continue reading

3rd September 20173rd September 2017 RichUpgrades

Tail lights

The original lights were quite dim and it was hard to tell when the brakes were applied.  This was a particularly problem on bright days.  I’d like to keep the car as original looking asContinue reading

Steering wheel emblem

Thought it would be an easy one, ‘just’ replace the steering wheel emblem.  The old one was almost impossible to remove.  Ended up drilling a hole through it and using some wood as a puller.

3rd September 20173rd September 2017 RichTouch Ups

Filler cap

New filler cap, the old one was looking a bit tired.

2nd September 20172nd September 2017 RichUpgrades

Overflow tank

The kit came with rivets to install the brackets, however the side of the radiator has convenient holes for mounting with bolts.  A new radiator cap was needed to allow any coolant that ends upContinue reading

Some photos after a good clean from the recent exhaust work.

Exhaust Upgrade

The car came with a straight through exhaust and some small silencers.  It sounded fantastic, loud & exciting.  However after driving for 30 minutes it wasn’t good on the ears.  I drove with ear plugsContinue reading

New dampers

Patrick very kindly bought some new dampers for the car.  Turns out it was a very necessary change.  The front dampers were completely gone, next to no rebound. One of them had leaked out allContinue reading

Indictor switch

Since I’ve owned the car the indicator stalk would not stay on for the right direction.  This is a common issue on this generation of Mustangs. There is a small plastic tab that breaks off.  LuckilyContinue reading

Trunk lid seal

The car did come with a seal for the trunk ( boot ).  However it had been mounted to the rim around the boot on the car rather than on the boot lid.  This meantContinue reading

Various little fixes

Dome Light A quick simple one, the new light came with a lower bezel however it fits just fine and looks neater with just the top section. Fuel filler The fuel filler hose wasn’t lookingContinue reading

Lots of bits, now just need to get on with installing them 🙂

Wheel Refurb

One of the 4 wheels was not shiny.  At some stage someone has repainted it with matt silver.  Patrick cleaned up the wheel and sprayed it with chrome paint.  It looks very close to otherContinue reading

Radiator Hose & Electric Fan

While out on a trip with the car, got stuck in traffic. Unfortunately that resulted in the car overheating.  Despite running Waterless Coolant it still overflowed.  Coincidently also noticed that the alternator belt was starting toContinue reading

Indicators

The rear lights have been changed for UK use so the reverse and indicators are on the same bulb.  This maintains the three red tail lights.  Much neater than changing the outer red light toContinue reading
