    Degreased the motor and bay. Cleaned and polished those BIG bumpers.
    Polished all the chrome and other trim.
    Took some pic. and took it for a ride. It runs great. I still don't have tags for it yet. Its nice to live way out in the country. lol

    first day workin on the comet in 3 weeks..removed the hood, started sanding the replacement decklid(the new decklid has 4 weird holes across the back edge, it looks like something is supposed to bolt on, maybe some sort of spoiler:bananaman), sanded and paint a few pieces for the grille...

    Today I drove it for the first time since September. The 5 speed swap is done and the fuel system change. Its like a whole new car with the T5, very fun to drive. I resisted making tire smoke though until the clutch has some miles on it.
