I did manage to get some pretty neat stuff, such as: a FGT fuel pump. 80mm Lightning MAF, OEM black headliner and visors.


    I am having a issues though. I have an AirBag code for the passenger seat airbag. And I am
    get a transmission range sensor code, but no symptoms

    Good to hear it's up and running. Air bag issue, I wonder if it's the bag?
    I have a good bseat ag, but I don't know if you have to take the car to the dealer for a reprogram?

    Yeah y'all, I am enjoying the MM! I got a few bugs to work out yet, but it is 80% great! No pictures as of now. Only camera I have is the crappy one in my flip-phone. As of right now it just looks like a beat up MM on steel wheels, with really nice P71 black interior and a light flint dash.


    I still have the Passenger air-bag light/code.
    Got a weak coil on cyl 4.
    Getting her tuned on 3-26-18.
    There is a rattle in the left front suspension.


    But my biggest mystery is: All the windows work from the main/drivers switch, But if I unlock the windows to power all the switches everything shuts down! There is a dead short somewhere in that circuit.
    Any ideas?

    And now I just bought a set of 09+ window switches. I think I might have the only MM that is transforming into a CV!

    She ain't bad! If it didn't just blow the tires off in first gear, and then spark knock in the top of 2nd and 3rd gear, It might would get somewhere. Tune coming Monday though!


    So I was cleaning out the trunk today, and right there under a 24.5 semi rim was?,,,,,, my Metco rear control arms!
    This project has gotten stretched out far enough, and with me mainly focusing on more important things like: swapping the whole wiring harness, Interior, Motor, Supercharger, Exhaust.
    I had forgotten about having the brand new arms laying there!


    So I put them on today.

    Before tune, put in gears: 4.10's at least. Say goodbye to V-6 Mustangs!
