The Journey To Find A Fox. Found A Cobra Instead.

From what I'm seeing online, 1992-1998 may be the same seat track.
Quick peek on ebay...and yeah...$250ish is in the ballpark
I also found a power seat track on eBay, so I’ll be installing that. It came with it and that’s how I want it.
It still has the R12 in it. I have a buddy who has the equipment for hvac, can you just evacuate the r12 and replace with r134 or does everything need to be changed? It blows coldish, but it’s hard to tell when it’s cold out.
The r134a molecule is smaller, so you really need to disassemble, flush, change o rings and then evacuate and recharge.
Is it just low on r12? I'd just top it off. R12 is all over eBay. I have a license to buy but never once been asked. You just fill out the "waiver" saying you are buying for a tech and they mail it.
As for headlights..a few are readily available on eBay NOS. mainly the parking/turn lights

I would think it was just low on r12. I have seen it on eBay. What equipment is needed to just top it off?
I’ve seen the headlights on eBay, I may just buy them slowly over time to have them. I do like NOS parts. But my lights are just a little discolored.

Mothers makes a small power ball the works good on headlights, put it on your drill. Some rubbing compound, the fine stuff, I've used some really fine wet sandpaper then the compound.
Your gonna want a good set of r12 guages. You'll want to see both high and low side pressures
Made my first order through LMR. Some new ford racing wires and Motorcraft cap and rotor. I was going to go with Motorcraft wires, and I still will buy a set so I can eventually go stock but the black will look good in there.
Found those handles you have

Those are them! Went out and checked and yep, they are engraved. I thought they were painted, but I was wrong!
So I spent a few hours yesterday trying some paint correction. My paint is original and in decent shape but is very swirled/lightly scratched in certain areas. Tried a couple All in ones (compound/polishes in one step) with no luck. I tried a product called HDspeed and Meguiars Ulitimate Compund which are both highly recommended all in ones. I’ve used both of these on my Tundra with great results but I am having no luck on the Cobra. Either this paint is really hard or I’m doing something wrong. I may have to go to a two step polish, which I didn’t want to do because the chances of damaging the paint or clear coat with that increases. I may take it to a detailer or hire a mobile detailer to tackle this job. I enjoy detailing, but I know my limits on what I know and I really don’t want to screw my paint up.

I used the 3m kit on my headlights (off the car, I had installed a set of repro's with clear corners, do NOT buy repros).
They have never been in the weather but the 3m sanding kit took all the gold tint out. I did one at a time and it was very evident next to each other.
Those door handles are tacky, people with real cobra's don't need to broadcast it on the door handles. Sometimes less is more...

Meh... The door handles would be way down my list of things I cared about.
Only us Mustang Snobs would ever know the difference.
Down the road when I came across a set for cheap, I'd snag em.
Edit: I'm going to try and ping @LaserSVT about your paint. He doesn't like to come out of the Squeaky too often but I bet he's ridden the paint horse more times than he cares to recall.
