Default 18 years ago

I went to look at my 65 Mustang that I put in storage back in 1988. I hadn't even see it since I put it in storage. I wasn't totally convinced that it even still existed. I've just paid the storage bill and the years went by. Well, I went to take a look at it over the weekend. I'm happy to say that other then a lot of dust, she looks just like a remember her! Luckily, she's been in a dry, climate controlled space!

I'll be getting her back in action soon. Attached are some pictures. Let me know your comments!

Other than exercising the engine and pre oil the cylinders to avoid dry fire and the little things that you’ll find wrong from sitting so it looks good. Except the radiator, it looks like it bled out a while ago it should be replaced. Northern makes a nice aluminum radiator for about 300.00.
