Had a blast. First time out since going back up, and my first time out with Jeff, AND my first time at Lacey Rd. Truly fun experience and can't wait to get out there again. I forgot my camera, so here are a few shots I captured with my phone.

The others got some great pics, looking forward to them being posted. Enjoy!

I did get lucky though, aside from the motor completely seizing, i had water up to my doorhandles but i only got 7" on the inside. I pulled the seats and carpet and used a shop vac and its as good as new. Doesn't even smell...Just needs a little shampooing/steam clean but that's about it.

I kinda wish we had a pic of once we got it out when we opened the door. It looked like that drinking and driving commercial when they open the door and the wine spills out of the mustang :finger:

Yes im in good spirits because its only metal. I'm just extremely happy that no one got hurt.

I do however need to give a HUGE shout out to Bob (mrsmithtb) and Jeff ( mooseknuckle) for helping me with everything you cant beat those two guys.

Foosh myself and 2 of our buddies are currently working on swapping out for a new motor. Might have some plans for a rebuild too :drool3: Should have the swap completed by the weekend. I have (had) an 05 with 61,xxx on it and i just picked up an 05 motor with papers at 33k

That's all the pics I have sorry it took so long,my girl had the computer tied up with school last couple of days. I would say it is time for a snorkel put me on the list for the first one to buy. I will also be a test vehicle if need be. We had a great time aside from Brendans mis-hap. Anyway I'm in for Friday Brendan and Saturday. Lets get her done!!

Moosenuckle I see you took your center caps off. I really like that look on my TB also, but are you worried about dirt or anything getting in your hubs?
