I've come home to find the UK registration! Awesome. That was the last hurdle to clear. I had been reading about the psycho pheasant and I was thinking oh no, what if it attacks and kills the postman and destroys the registration?? So, good stuff! What a journey.

Finally got plates made so got out and about today. Even let the wife have a go lol. It certainly is a monster on the roads round here.
Drives ok but bit of a flat spot on low revs so think it needs a bit of a tune.

I had mentioned that in my build thread, it's a store bought rebuilt carb but I could never get rid of the flat spot, I was figuring on a 4 barrel eventually anyway. And it's a monster on the roads anywhere, even on the New Jersey Turnpike!

And it's a monster on the roads anywhere, even on the New Jersey Turnpike! It's ok I'm not complaining. I was expecting a few niggles plus it probably needs a bit of a tune anyway to run better on our higher octane gas. I've filled the tank and going to just drive it to see what sort of mileage I'll get out of it. Then when it's out I'll fit that fuel sender. Also going to hopefully remove the cat and swap the silencer for something a bit more audible next Friday Sent from my SM-G900F using proboards

Could almost be a scene from the US with that Mustang.

I see you still have the New York registration and inspection stickers in the windshield, very cool.

Oh, the right mirror on my parts car is no good, sorry. It seems like a lot of parts on it are no good but I'll make the best of it.

Ah was just about to ask about that as I'll have to sort a mirror as it's pretty tricky driving and parking here without it. What's no good about the mirror though? I'm not fussed about condition.

The glass is so loose they wedged paper in it so it would stay in place, plus its a remote mirror with the control on the dash, pain to install in a car that never had it.

I'm a furniture restorer/welder so sure I could fix it and I'd make it manually adjustable outside the car. Don't throw it out. Think of a shipping price and I might give it a go? !

So today I got the cat removed and a new system custom made with one flowmaster muffler. It now sounds how it should sound! Not silly loud but just a nice non intrusive burble. Very happy with it and off to its first official show tomorrow! Can't wait. Sent from my SM-G900F using proboards
