The Ford CD helps a lot, but it would be a lot more helpful if it had real pictures. It might have been beneficial if I took the pictures it was trying to show, could have possibly helped some people out. I wanted to post my progress just because I am excited to get it all back together, the weather has been great, hopefully it will be back in action before the 4th of July. I also wanted to start this thread incase I needed help. This is what I got done yesterday: I am taking the day off from the swap; I canâ�?��?�t take anymore sick days. Oh well. I will keep the pictures coming once I start swapping parts over at night. 3L process done
