'67 Mustang Audio install in progress pics added

[Savvi]

I have to do a 2 hour drive each way to pick up a 67 Mustang wondering how much fuel i will use driving it back ?

 

Approx only 80 odd miles but crap roads no motorway.

 

 

Anyone fancy a guess i will post the answer tomorrow evening

[Mr Sam]

you'll do it in a gallon surely

[countrybumpkin]

i recon it'll use about 5.5 gallon of petrol

[mk3cokebottle]

if its the 428 manual about 11mpg

auto about 9mpg

if its the 302 manual about 18-19 mpg

auto about 15-16 mpg

then it depends if the manual is 4-5 speed as the 5 speed will do about 5 mpg more

 

yep i know me yanks im taking it that it is a v8 and not the six pot

 

i reckon your trip about 9-10 gallons there n back

 

and about 7 in the stang if your just driving 80 miles n not 160

Mustang 390 GT packs a 6.4-litre engine punching out 320 American horses – and one of the finest V8 soundtracks in the world.

 

 

Quote i found on this car

[marky4]

depends how heavy your right foot is

 

i'd say 7 gallons

[Trevmk3]

depends on how happy you are on the throttle though, if you keep testing the sound of it then you may need to fill it up before you get home

[Savvi]

I hope he's left some fuel in it

[missymoo 181]

I'd say just drive and enjoy it, after all you wouldn't ask an old lady how much she would drink. Having said all that I reckon you'll get about 12 to the gallon so 6.6 gallons! But enjoyment factor is way beyond that

[zetecmk2]

put a 1100 x-flow in!!

[mk1super]

Get pics up!

[Savvi]

Well we got back ok !!!

 

i was surprised how little i used kept it to a steady 60 ish ......... except one small blast on the bypass

 

 

Put £40 worth in when i picked it up and say i used just over 2/3 of that which would be about ?????????????????????

 

I wasn't worried about how much it would cost, i will put it on the final bill, just curious as what they do to a gallon if driven carefully Maybe i should see what it will be on the return journey driven a little harder ................ or maybe not as it's a customers car and tbh it's a nice car to drive gently and more enjoyable !!!

[Savvi]

Thought i'd share a sneak preview of this one and the Audio install i'm part way through with a few pics

 

 

Hopefully once fully finished this will be suitably hidden and discreet install.

[Retro-gone.]

now thats where i could have my speakers at the sides in the boot !

savvi... we need to talk!

[Savvi]

The one on the left is for the 5 channel digital amp the other side is a pocket lined with carpet to even it up a bit, tomorrow all the bare Mdf is going to be trim where hopefully they are going to make a custom boot floor carpet to bring it all togeather.

 

What you see behind the rear seat is what i mean't for you to do on your rear parcel tray Tony, it's all removable inside the car with a quick connector for the cables

[surfingturnip]

stealth shelf looks class though have to say

[Trevmk3]

what headunit is that? is it one of those expensive retro look ones?

[Savvi]

Yes mate ............. Becker Mexico with Sat-Nav, Ipod, Phine kit , sd card and Radio.

 

 

Had it running tonight with the Alpine 5 channel amp sounds the nuts.

[Savvi]

Done a bit more all the panels trimmed up new boot carpet made, amp and sub to be set up and then back to the customer .....

 

 

Hope the customer is happy with it !!!

[Trevmk3]
