[QUOTE="delvin.a, post: 16633279, member: 112306"] Progress Once I got all the excess wire out I cleaned the metal and started reassembling the interior without the white painted pieces. It looks so much better back to stock. I also pulled the Saleen 2-point brace out, chopped the tabs for the harness bar off and powder coated it black. [ATTACH=full]1708422[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1708423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1708424[/ATTACH] A little velcro to protect the brace from the belt clip [ATTACH=full]1708425[/ATTACH] Found this cool mirror tag for sale [ATTACH=full]1708426[/ATTACH] I got lucky and bought a whole new set of headlights from Ford before they went NLA. Also got lucky on a trunk cargo net and passenger fender liner from Ford before going NLA. [ATTACH=full]1708427[/ATTACH] Restored the intake plate and mounted it to the freshly coated upper [ATTACH=full]1708428[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1708429[/ATTACH] Then the process of putting it all back started. Restored fuel rail and new crossover tubing [ATTACH=full]1708430[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1708431[/ATTACH] Big fan of these Powergrip clamps from Gates. Yes, I replaced the broken timing pointer with a new Ford piece. [ATTACH=full]1708432[/ATTACH] Here it is back together about to start for the first time since January on a startup tune I wrote (first time working with a QH). That MAF unit was tough to find at a not ridiculous price, again I got lucky and found it in a 3-4 year old FS thread on corral [ATTACH=full]1708433[/ATTACH] The start up went well enough, I was able to set the idle at 800, fill the coolant, set the fuel pressure and confirm the fan comes on after rebuilding the fan harness that was cut for some reason.
