i did a bit of finishing touches on a couple projects on the x today
got the exhaust redone from the flange ( i think thats what its called ) just after the cat. converter. bought a brush guard, took my hitch off and started cleaning the rust off and primered the drop hitch. plan to go pay for the 302 from a mustang and all the components for the swap in about an hour.

Installed some 245 75 16s and finished wiring up my walmart auxiliary lights xD

Threw in a new steering gearbox in Stripe (Ford original had enough slop that I looked like a drunk driver trying to shift and change lanes, lol) and fixed my cruise control (dump valve was missing after the conversion, just plugged the vacuum port on the cc servo).

Let's hear what you accomplished today!

I'll start!

Balmy high of 20 today, so I figured I would take advantage of it and try to get my heater working.

Drained coolant -> looks like a new radiator/heatercore/hoses is in my future
Replaced t-stat
Replaced serpentine belt, tensioner and idle pulley
Removed smashed headlight bucket/bezel
Removed broken door card
Repaired drivers window bushings
Replaced drivers door pins -> scratched some paint :thumbdwn:

New car that my grandfather gifted me; this forum has been a great help while I wait on my service manuals to show up.

So...?

towed it to the shop to have the heads pulled, possible engine swap...then went to lunch with the kids. In my Gen2 Exploder.

If it were me I would put the stuck caps back on those tires, unless you don't have them.
also, is there a lift on that ex? or just larger tires? looks mean.

I've always wanted to use that^^
I missed my chance.

Installed new headlight housings. Will have to go back in there because both of the little bulbs were burned out and I don’t have any here. I’ll pick up a 10 pack since I need 2 for the interior map lights as well

 

[massacre]

Went back in today and replaced the 2 bulbs on the front corner lights.
Need to chase down a transmission leak

 

[MrQ]

Dropped a new set of 4-Way speakers in and fixed the rear window motors the other day.

This past weekend was replacing the fused link to my highbeam spotlights (100W) that melted during this past hunting season. Also worked up the parts list for the front suspension rebuild I'll start later this Spring. Will include new front springs as they are currently sagging badly.
