    DAY 3:

    Didn't get to do much today with it. Kinda spittin rain off and on today...

    What I did get done though helped a bunch.

    Pulled the headliner out and noticed Ford never put any paint on bracket that the overhead console bolts to. NOT flyin in my book. LOL

    So I put a coat of paint on it after I wire brushed it...

    Got the headliner cleaned up and reinstalled with the newly painted bracket...

    Now I am going to work on stripping the seat covers and cleaning them really good.

    Oh and a parts update...

    I ordered my BL/Sus lift today and it should be in within the next couple of weeks. Here is a teaser of it.

    I am going to run to pick n pull and strip a door and back gate off an expedition they have there. Also kicking around a DOHC 4.6 that they had there in a Murauder... Prolly just go 5.4 though.

    Back gate looks like something got dropped on it and has some scratches.

    I ordered a 5" kit, which consists of 3" BL and 2" Coils for the rear.
