Well, didn't exactly go smoothly (last guy that did the timing belt tensioner overtorqued it and the threads came out with the bolt, yikes!, also medical issues) but it's done. Which is good, since I was really getting tired of driving the wife's playtoy ('01 Mustang vert).
New Koni STR.T shocks and struts and Groundcontrol coilovers. Anyone know if there are supposed to be covers on the side of the engine compartment? For both the steering rack and where the compliance bushings are? I have none on either side. You can also see my polyurethane bushings on the control arms and engine mounts here.
It rained buckets and had a tremendous thunderstorm while I installed the engine. probably not the best time to be under a steel engine hoist...
Still needs a little tweaking of the coilovers and an alignment, but it is back to being my commuter.
