Had mine for 11 years, made it to 100000. Still going well :)

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 old master cylinder. All of the pipe fittings were so tight it was near impossible to remove...

Thanks :) Will get everything sorted in time. Next big thing will be the brakes. Going to be changing the front to disc + servo assistance. Will be nice to have predictable braking. While its so cold outside made a small start on the audio upgrades. Head Unit Upgrade More photos here The...

Holley Dual Sync More pictures here: www.mustang67.co.uk/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 had to remove coil input...

Progress update Front speakers installed, woo! Whats happened since the last update, my brother did a superb job of upgrading the tweeters. You can see the before and after below. Not much difference to see on the front, quite a difference on the rear though. A big thank you to him for doing...

I recently replaced my front discs / pads with OEM spec parts. The pads are Jurid however the intial bite seems a little soft compared to the originals. The stopping power is just fine its just the feel. Has anyone else found that Jurid ( or other pads ) dont have they same feel as the...

Need to keep an eye out for the Aurora Boreanaz. :P

Upgraded my DISA unit today. Its something i've planned to do for a while. I've kept an eye on it for a couple of years. Its was a little lose and the pin had lifted up a tiny bit. I dont think it would have failed any time soon but feel betting having the upgrade now. Parts Old cam /...

Clips arrived the other day, picked them up last night. All fixed now, finally looks correct, no more odd gaps. Thank you very much!
