Spent the day building walls, plumbing vanity sink drain, placing electrical boxes for switches , GFI receptacle, ceiling light and vanity light.
More fun tomorrow, I’m on schedule with my plans to finish framing this week, I’m ahead of schedule with the drain plumbed and the wiring run , now next week is the water feed lines to be run and install the shower if it ever gets here!!

Sweetie made a coffee run today, so she got to drive the BlackSwan!

Blue- So what did you do with the rest of the day....... LOL

I had lots of running to do today, so my buggy got some good exercise on the super-slab going & coming back from down south.

From the family room side drain installed

The entrance wall to the left

The right side when you walk in, the vanity will go in that alcove where the blue step stool is

Not HHR but car related.

Time to replace the factory original clutch. The clutch has not worn out, but I think the throwout bearing broke, so I might as well replace the clutch and the rear main seal on the engine (which has had a very small leak for years).

I factory ordered this car 34 years ago and it is driven summers only, 1987 Mustang GT 5.0L, 5-speed manual:






Replacing the clutch on a rear-wheel-drive car will be easier, no dropping the engine cradle like front-wheel-drive!

But you can still order parts from RockAuto, right?

Yes, Rock Auto still has most of the parts.

However, I am looking into a beefed-up clutch from Ford Motorsports that can take 40% more power than stock.

I am thinking of adding a supercharger in the future (mild boost, about 5-6psi since the T5 can't handle a big increase), so I want to be prepared just in case.

Got the AC line replaced today.
What a PITA when working in the floor.
Drovr home with T/C and CE light on.
Forgot to plug the MAF sensor back in.
All fixed now.

Steve- Very Cool. I remember those well. They run good. Congrats on having it that long & counting.
Agree about the swap on RWD. Piece of cake.
