October/2002

Outubro foi um mês de gala para o Mustang. O motor voltava para baixo do capo. Ainda sem funcionar, afinal de contas, algumas peças (platinado, mangueiras, rotor, velas) ainda não haviam chegado. Mas o motor foi la para dentro de novo e de cara nova. Logo depois foram os radiadores (são 3!). Ainda, o cambio voltava do recondicionamento. Ainda levaria algum tempo para o cambio voltar a girar, mas voltou para o carro também. Começou a dar tempo de cuidar dos primeiros aspectos externos do carro, incluindo a ´diamantagem´ das rodas que ficaram como novas. As primeiras peças da dianteira estavam sendo montadas e colocadas no lugar.

October was a great month for the Mustang. The engine was finally returning to under the hood. Still not working, given that some small but very important parts were still to be bought (rotor, condenser, contact breaker, spark plugs, etc). Anyway, the engine was back in there and looking much better. Right after, all the radiators were also back to their place. Moreover, the tranny was back after being reconditioned. It would take a while for me to see the wheels moving again, though. in October, I even had time to start remounting some of the external pieces and trims (those for which I spent a lot of time cleaning), including a face-lift on the wheels, and the car was starting to look like a Mustang II again.
