That Ford Electric Orange pops!
Be careful when you out everything back in. Whatever you do, don't drop the engine into the bay like I did haha
BTW, give me a price in a PM sometime if you make up top mounts for these motors.

Re: 120y fj20et
hmmm where do i start car will be on hold for the moment just been fuked around by the painter
told him to cut and weld where rust is and he bogged everything
engine bay paint has metal dust and shit on the paint some bits of engine bay you can see the primer what a waste of time the guy had 6 months and produced work of a 4 year old
now the car will be back at soda blasters just to blast away places were he bogged which isnt that much cost wise and the car will be sent to GT Refinishers Panel and Paint to get it done at least i can trust them to do a good job

Re: 120y fj20et
seems to be an all too familiar story on this site....
Seems to be a few rogues out there in the Panel & Paint industry, taking peoples hard earned $ & dreams and returning sub standard quality work.
My car may take years to complete and big $ on panel & paint, but I know it is done to perfection at least, by a competent restorer who does not cut corners and treats every clients car as if it was his own show car.
