Gaz came over and Wired up the Bosch Alternator for Box,s Unibody.. i had to do a slight adjustment on the A/C Compressor mount the get the Belt to align.. Its over to Gaz,s Garage now to get the 12V Heater Demister fitted and the 66 Mustang A/C unit fitted.. Its going to the right side of the Dash as it wouldnt fit in the middle, so the passenger will get nice Cold Knees!! :)

Okay ive learnt a lesson! I rekon ive fitted a hundred odd Second Hand Engines over the years and Box Heads Unibody bit me.. It was a loose Driveplate/Crank Bolts causing the noise.. A big thanks to Wayne for pulling the Auto out and putting another Driveplate in as my Hoist had a Mustang on it, and im too Old and Fat to be laying under Cars removing Gearboxes these days.. It is a mystery on how they were loose as the Engine came straight out of a Mustang.. Box had a video of it running before he bought it.. Im not going to live this one down for a longtime! :) :) :)

Ol Mate got all the Brakes finished on Box,s Unibody last week, so i figured it was time to fire the Engine up.. I filled the Trans with Fluid, Coolant in the Radiator, a swish of Fuel down the Carb and it fired straight away.. no Bangs or Clunks!! Late Friday a few noises started happening, it sounded like it had an air lock in the water passages.. Fired it again Saturday and took it for a spin, plenty of go, not getting hot, plenty of Oil Pressure etc.. Fired it again Monday morning and the knocks were getting louder.. Time to investigate, turning the Motor over by a Ratchet with no Plugs in it and it had some wierd clunking noises on certain parts of the Stroke and the Engine sounded like it was cooling down when you shut it off but it was cold.. Time to take off the Inspection Cover off the Trans and get underneath.. Well there,s the problem.. The Drive Plate is loose on the Crank.. Where Box bought the Motor from must have replaced a Manual Flywheel with an Auto Drive Plate, which is fine, but youd rekon they would have either tightened the Bolts to spec of at least write on it "Bolts are loose".. So the Trans has to come out now... Bu**er... :(

Ol Mate was back for a couple of days this week to help set up the Brake Booster/M Cyl kit that Box supplied for his Unibody.. Like all kits they need tweaking in areas to fit.. Finally got the Trans Line fittings so i could finish them off and i took a couple of pics of Strattys handy work on the Exhaust

Started on the 65 Coupe Re Conversion.. I got the Owner to buy a New Firewall, Lower Plenum and Wiper Panel, but none of the Suppliers had a 65 LHD Dash in stock, so one had a Shop Display of a Original LHD Dash with all its bits fitted and listed it For Sale.. Only problem when it was removed from a Car it was cut before the Windscreen opening, hence why im doing this lil operation..

16/07/2026

Another job turned up on the Weekend.. A Re Conversion of a 65 Coupe that was done many moons ago by a Workshop South of Bendigo..... Any Ol Skool Mustang guys will know where im talking about.. So a new Firewall was ordered, Wiper Panel and Lower Plenum and a good S/Hand Dash Its having a Manual RRS Rack fitted to replace the XK/P Steering that was fitted.. Owner said it had a Half Inch and more of Body Filler covering the botched Firewall Conversion..

Box,s Unibody is back from the Exhaust Shop... Those Tailpipes look trick... i will take a pic of the rest of the System when i get it back up in the Air on the Hoist.. I forgot to take a pic yesterday of the bitsa 66 Fastback up in the Air on the Hoist, much easier to work on the Project 66 Convert on the ground.. ...

09/07/2026

While Box Heads Unibody is away getting the Exhaust done i moved the Workshop around! Just got a buyer for the Project 66 Convertible that was buried in the far corner of the Workshop, he wants me to Convert it to RHD, so im glad i didnt weld the Wiper Panel and Dash back into the Shell.. So now Project XK Falcon goes to the never to be seen again spot in the Corner.. Bitsa 66 Fastback goes to the Top of the Hoist and the 66 Convert to the bottom .. :)
