Looked at it as i walked by her and got into the CVPI to drive to work
Replaced the bulbs over the license plates in both cars as they were each burnt out. Very strange.
Warmest Regards!

I put tags on mine. The old ones expired in July '09. Due to road construction (and winter) I haven't driven or started mine since last July.
Hopefully they get my road paved this year.

Put the new sticker on the tag and cranked her for a few minutes. Had it a year now.
Looked at it and decided it needs to be vacuumed out before Kentucky trip.
I kicked it after I saw the coolant laying on the ground! She's an evil one....

GOLD P74 INTERCEPTOR, A NEW PANTHER IN TOWN.
Worked a little bit on the pass. side half of my coolant crossover tube, from a markviii.
Had to cut off the markviii bracket and weld on a Mach 1 bracket to match the other half which is stock mach 1. Keeps both temp sender bungs that way.
It's done I was just cleaning it up some before primer.

Took it for a ride and made Ms.D drive it to get her impressions of the new suspension work. She agrees it no longer pushes like a dump truck in the corners. Still not in Porsche territory yet but gaining on it.
In present time washing The M-panther, vaccum the inside while I listen to music with my iphone !ups! i knew I forgot something in the first post of this thread, i buy an itrip for the iphone so the music stored in the iphone i an listening through the radio of my Panther, later I will post pics.

Ended up replacing all the brake pads before installing the new Nittos. Looked like some front brake pistons were binding up since inside pads didn't have the same wear as the outside pads. Shot some solvent on them. They seeemed to bite hard after I warmed them up a bit. If they don't all loosen up, then back to Todd for re-do. Nittos seem quieter and firmer than the OEM BFG's.
