    Thanks for the encouragement, now I just need to get what is in my head into reality. The only thing I got done today is I installed a new drivers side window regulator. Still waiting on clutch parts to come.

    I am not much of a domestic vehicle person. That Taurus was the only Ford I have owned. I would never have touched it had it not been a SHO.

    Thanks for the encouragement. Still been slow on progress lately. Still waiting on parts. I did get the drivers side motor mount welded, drilled, and installed. Also got the exhaust manifolds installed although not in this picture.

    I installed the new front wheels. They are 15" x 7". They came with chrome steel center caps, but I really wanted to put the factory Toyota steel wheel center caps on. So I machined off the end of the chrome center cap and welded a cross piece on that houses a threaded rod that I attached inside the Toyota center cap. I like how it looks and it gives it a bit of a factory look. I installed them with Gorilla locks to make sure they stay where I put them.

    Unfortunately, no update. I am still waiting on the pressure plate from Clutch Net that I ordered months ago. I can't say they have been helpful and will not be doing business with them again. I need it to get the measurement for the hydraulic throw out bearing. Then I can be done with the transmission part of the project.
