Turbo Rusty Ready To Start

Today we started working on the mustang around 1pm, Ryan Corey and I were all working on our own thing at the same time, we got alot of things done today. Then the three of us putting in the diff got it done really fast. Starting by replacing the fuel filter in the back and painting over the freshly installed tq boxes, then cutting off the quadshock mounts on the diff and painting over them. While me and Corey were taking turns cutting the mounts off the rear, and after i took a good chunk out of my finger haha, Ryan was cutting off the twin HKS mounts off the intake pipe, and welding them shut, then installing the flange to mount the Turbonetics Raptor BOV. Ryan got pretty far and then actually ran out of welding gas, of course, so Corey and I drove over to his shop and picked up the big bottle he has. Ryan finished welding the new flange on and the blocking the old ones, painted it quick with some paint and we installed it, then we also threw in the wideband o2 sensor and the up pipe off the intercooler to the throttle body. When all that was done we put the rear and the lower control arms in the car. Next was the driveshaft and then he had to install the starter, this didnt fit right because of the new bellhousing so some drilling had to be done, and he also needs to install some spacers because the starter isnt disengauging, this happened before so he just spaces it. So we decided to call it a night and fire it up tomorrow. All in all it went really well, we got a ton of stuff done today and we gotta be proud of ourselves, the rest of the parts should be in maybe by the end of the week wich include but are not limited too; Tires, shifter, gauges, braided lines for the oil relocator etc. Here are the pics!
