Figured this would be a great thread to set some goals (realistic ones for me at least haha) and see what everyone has planned for their fixes, mods and more in 2023!

• Put in correct transmission shift shaft, linkage and NSS
• Get A/C fully functional (currently heater is bypassed, only blows cold on the feet and condenser doesn't shut off)
• Put in 3.25 or 3.55 gears (still deciding, currently have 2.79, rarely get on a highway)
• Replace driveshaft seals

All seems doable to me! Let's hear yours -
 
-Figure out what all these parts are for and how they go on the car. 😂
-Spend too much money on parts.
THIS right here is my 2023 plan as well 😅

My goals are:
- Continue to fix some driveability problems, like a flooding carb and a chattering clutch. Found a decrepit motor mount yesterday so that's a start.

- Considering 3 point belts for safety.

- Maybe add a subwoofer. Wish I had run a thicker wire for a bigger amp!
 
  • Installing Open Tracker level 1 suspension
  • New dash pad
  • New door panels
  • Install seat extensions
  • Participating in some time distance rally's
Never knew these existed 😮 I could probably use those with my skyscraper legs. I wonder how troublesome the extra seat height is. The steering wheel is already gigantic to fit your legs under. I suppose moving the seat back helps with that problem though.
 
  • Replace center section/third member and U-joints. It's been clunking and making noise for quite some time. It has the stock 2.79, I'll replace with a 3.25 or 3.40
  • Timing chain, gears and front cover
  • Send distributor to Dan at Mustang Barn for recurve
 
Spark plugs and spark plug wires, fuel filter, get trapdoor aquired last year painted and installed to replace plywood with 6 x 9 speakers. Thank you to previous owners (whoever and wherever you are) for never cutting holes in interior trim panels!
