I got a couple of clear 87 or 88 T-Bird turn signal lens assemblies. They are in pretty good condition which is why I bought them in the first place hoping that they were the same on my cat. Well they are not but ed if they don't look the same. I cut them apart, cleared them, and polished them up before I figured it out. They look pretty good aside from some wierd marks on top of one of em. I want at least what I paid for them which is $40 a piece. Shoot me a PM and I'll send you some pics.
I got hosed on my first freaking buy. The text said that the parts, both upper and lower intakes, injectors, fuel rail, and distributor were out of an 88 mustang GT. So the stuff gets here today and its 5.0 stock output parts the same stuff thats already on my car. I'm pissed think i can get my money back?
So my driver's side seat let go and is now completly obliterated. My car is almost undrivable. I have some SN95 seats along with some MN12 seats and will be trying to get some combination of the two to fit as the MN12 seats are both power and the SN95's are not. In any case I despratly need a console, shifter and all the related mumbo jumbo and you guys are my last resort as the local syard wants about $150 for these parts out of an XR7 they have. My car has the AOD and If i can get an buttstuffog guage cluster for the right price I'll take one of those too. Anybody who is sitting on these parts please let me know right away.
I was given some power seats for free but all i know is that they are out of a t-bird. So I took them in and now they are sitting on my kitchen floor. I took some pics but i cant size them down enough to get them posted. They look close to what i have in the cougar (as i imagine most seats would) but on the motor there is a tag that has, amidst other numbers and letters, MN12 on it. So i imagine they are out of an MN12 bird. Will they fit in my 88? They have the switches on the side so i can finally put in a console and floor shifter if they will work.
My passenger side door molding started catching on the front fender about 3 days ago and now the door metal and the fender metal are straight up touching i can't open the door anymore. I wasn't in an accident or anything so i can't figure this out what the hell is going on, and i have no idea how to fix it. I'm leaning toward selling it now because i'm getting sick of dealing with this kind of stuff.
So i was given a free 302 block from a pickup not sure what year, Is there any major differences I should be aware of. The plan is to rebuild another engine outside the car so that I can just swap it in rather than have the car sitting without an engine during the rebuilding process. Oh and the "rebuild" includes a HO conversion mwahahaha. P.S. I havent seen it yet so I don't have a casting number or anything.
I wanted to know exactly how closely related these two cars are what all is compatable between the two. I may have access to some parts and i need a lot of parts this summer mostly the interior parts and suspension I know it is 5-lug but is it bolt in. Anything else that you guys could think of would be awesome.
Me too I'm driving out friday night to pick up the heads. I'll get the cam from my buddy with the stang b/c his wife got him the E303 for christmas, planning on buying some cheap heddman headers a mustang H-pipe. I still need to get the injectors, computer, and i'm looking for a HO intake/throttle body combo but it will be nice to get down to it this spring. Anybody got any tips or things to watch out for. If i have the cash I'm hoping to get a new rear-end too.
I know its been asked before but i need all the info on the 3G conversion. I saw a thread on here a while back that had all the info i need but i couldnt find it. The main thing i need is applications for the alternator itself.
So i'm pretty sure i'm gonna end up with an 86 parts car and i'm gonna take the tranny out for sure and keep it. Here's the plan first i gotta find out if it has the AOD if so I will pull it and i want to rebuild it and put a manual valve body in. Is it really that difficult.
So one of my friends calls me last night to tell me the details of her graduation party next weekend. Then hands the phone to one of her friends who proceeds to ask me if i'm still looking for parts for my cougar. To which i reply always. She then tells me her brother will give me his 86 if i will get it off their land. SCORE. How much of the parts can i use off of it, mostly interior stuff is what i'm interested in. My info is a little sketchy i'm not even sure its an 86. Its about an hour or two away and i'm wondering if its worth it.
i want to bypass the dimmer switch on my headlamp switch so i can have dash lights until i can get a new switch is it possible. I just want them on full blast.
LAKE FOREST– Nicole Catsouras, 18, of Ladera Ranch was killed Tuesday afternoon when her black Porsche 911 Carrera clipped a Honda she was trying to pass on the right at more than 100 mph on the Eastern (241) Toll Road, the California Highway Patrol said. Catsouras was driving southbound near Alton Parkway when she suddenly switched lanes and lost control of the Porsche, CHP officials said, and then cut across the center median, careened across several lanes of traffic and crashed into a tollbooth. The 20-year-old driver of the Honda was taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries. The cause of the accident is under investigation.
I have heard on other forums that she was drunk and stole the car, these are unconfirmed however. In any case an 18 year old should not have access to a car that is that difficult to control. Fast cars ok, I wish I could have had access to a really fast car when I was younger, but a freaking 911 carrera race car drivers with decades of experience can lose it in those things. You can't expect an 18 year old to know when she's in over her head. I have so much respect for porches just like my old crotch rocket, if you don't well this kind of thing will happen.
