Quote from: Dansbirds;365273
That sucks, did you catch them? I took my son to college down in south Florida last week and I have the glass also, actually the whole door. been trying to give them away(lt & rt) for over a year now


Did find window. Last JY I called had one window and it was the one I needed. Was already out of car even..lol

Wish I would of caught them!!! I am usally up late but as luck would have it, had to go bed early since wife had to be at hospital early next morn.  Thats when I notice glass busted, 5am.  Son said he heard something at 230 but thought it was his TV when he woke up. Did put a ad for reward on craigslist though. I hate a  thief.!!!!!!  And did start passing word out for $200 reward for info on who it was. AMm hoping the ad on craigslist makes them pen 15ing at come back. Guarantee I got something for them in the size of .223.

Lounge / Sons car... picture whoring
Thanks guys,,,


As fr the color not really sure what it is. Took it up there ans said wanted back factory color and got the paint from door sticker. Think he is the only kid with Fox-Bird at his high school. Tried to buy him an 90 LX 5.0 for last year of school but he doesnt want to get rid if his bird.. Even told him I would give him my f-150(light clone) and turned it down, Hooked him up with some BOMM_BOOM,,,tinted windowsnew dash cover,  SVO steering wheel, MAC shorty headers, UPR off raod X-pipe and 05GT lers... Sounds like a stock 5.0 riding up road..


Truck he turn down also........

Lounge / Sons car... picture whoring
Haven't posted in awhile.. But since my son I worked so hard on cleaning his car figured show our hard work..  Washed, waxed and buffed car out yesterday..

Got car all spiffed up for his yearbook page. He LOVES this car and wanted his picture with it for dedication page , his mom & I got for last year of school..


Brief history of car,,  Got for him when he was 15, and did HO conversion, w/GT40 motor in it, had tranny rebuilt with mild shift kit, quick ratio rack/pinion,install TC rear 3.73's, chrome Ponies, and had it painted at Macco. The paint job did surprise me, wasn't expecting a Macco job to look this good. The paint is bout 2 years old now..  Do have TC black interior panels to install and I found him a set of 94GT seats we are going to install...

One last thing I want to put on it for his Graduation is a Powerdyne blower...:burnout:


Anyway here is picture..

Suspension/Steering / Another steering rack/pump question??
Thanks Vinnie.... Think I got it sorted out. Installed the 2.5 lock to lock rack and so far so good. Been 3 days and havent had any problems. Last time with 3-loc rack about 2 days, pump started to whine and fluid was low.  Would last bout 2 days and start whining again, and be low fluid. But was leaking from vent tube and around inner tie rod boots.

Pretty sure it was the pump/rack combo I had on there. When I did the swap, used a rebuilt pump from an SN95 mustang and swapped it to the foxbody brackets. But guess with the standard, rack, pump was over pressurizing it, from what I found whn I did search.

Suspension/Steering / Another steering rack/pump question??
Did a search and found some answers but trying to clarify a few things.....


Had bad inner tie rod on sons car, and instead of doing that one, went ahead and replaced whole rack with 2.5 turn rack. Also replaced the pump since had small leak at reservoir, with a pump from sn95 mustang. And while in working mode swapped the stock 7.5 w/ 2.73's out for disc brake TC 8.8 with 3.73's:burnout:

 Anyway, got everything together and had car aligned.  Couple days go by and PS fluid is missing, so refill. Well couple more days go by and PS pump starts whinng (today 4-14-11)and fluid is low again, WTF??  So jack car up to check and fluid is dripping out of vent tube. Took vent line out of boot and fluid poured out.

On my search, seen replies about different ratio racks, and pumps. My questions are, what is the 2.5 turn(15:1 or 20;1) rack, and did I mate wrong pump with the rack? 

This is really frustrating me,  had too do job twice since 1st rack I installed had bad threads and HP line would leak. Frustrating to point, making me want to sell car and get him small truck:evilgrin:
