The stang has finally made its way back home after 22 months! Last week the wife and I left Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada and did the 1100 mile drive back to the wonderful state of NJ. Since I also had the 03 Exploder Sport she drove the stang for the first 3 days of the trip while I drove the Exploder. I drove it the 4th day from Boston to NJ while she followed in the Exploder.
No issues until we were about 40 minutes from home in NJ when we sprung a fuel leak from an additional sensor we installed in the fuel tank. Of course this was spotted just after a full tank fillup on the NJ Interstate! I drove like a mad man from about exit 7 (the rest stop) down to exit 3, through town and to our place. That was Saturday and it hasn't moved since. Hopefully I'll have it temporarily fixed for a local cruse night this Wednesday.
Thankfully it waited until we got almost home and not someplace in the middle of nowhere. Aside from that the trip was a lot of fun, loads of thumbs-ups, honking horns, etc from others on the road.

Yeah it was nice to hit the highway and give it a good run over 4 days. Just got the leak fixed (patched) for now until I can pull the tank and fix it properly. Wife simply loves the car but still doesn't feel confident enough just yet to drive it during rush hour. Means I get to play with it until she does.

Damn, man. You put together one heluva good lookin car. Almost makes me re-think the whole Fastbacks always look better than coupes thing. I think it's got a lot to do with the vinyl roof.
Ohhh, I'm green with envy. I agree, the black vinyl top looks sexy. Looks like a good fit and finish, you filled all the gaps and from this angle it the lines look crisp and clean. I can only pray that mine turns out as well.
