    Easier Egress/ingress (door Handle Issues)

    I lied. Pins/bushings shot again. Didn't notice the slop until I moved the door up and down in a nearly closed position. Couldn't tell when fully open. Getting those and a new roller spring plate which is also shot on the driver's side. Thanks.

    Easier Egress/ingress (door Handle Issues)

    Nah, pins are good and door doesn't have up/down play. Replaced those when I swapped doors out on this car. Still can't get the striker positions quite right though. What's generally the correct location for these? If I close my doors softly they sit unaligned as shown above. If I close the...

    Easier Egress/ingress (door Handle Issues)

    Thanks for the help guys. I moved the strikers up on both sides, and replaced the striker bushings. Helped quite a bit. Now the door to body alignment is off though. I've read in other forums about having to use a 2x4 in between the mid/lower part of the door while pressing on top to fix this...

    Easier Egress/ingress (door Handle Issues)

    Yeah, it's difficult with both doors. Has been doing it forever, but I'm finally wanting to address all the little quirks which are starting to drive me crazy on the car. I'll take a look at the striker alignment to see if that happens to be the issue. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Easier Egress/ingress (door Handle Issues)

    Couple of questions concerning difficulty getting into and out of my Foxbody. 1. I've replaced the stock plastic door handles a couple of times on the car with metal ones, but in order to open the doors I have to press/lift on the handles just right in order for them to open the door. It helps...

    SOLD 1989 Ford Mustang Gt Grey Tweed Front Seats

    Seats are out of my 89 GT. The drivers side does have a slight lean to it that is common with these seats after a while. It can always be straightened up and re-welded. There is also a small hole that has been sewn up on the drivers seat as shown in the pics. Otherwise the seats look great and...

    Water in New Headlight

    Good luck sealing yours. I've resiliconed mine like a kazillion times and they still fill with water. Maybe the bulb isn't sealing correctly with the housing somehow?

    Haven't been here in a while. (lights)

    Yeah I have the diamond one's already and while I really like them the p.o.s's keep filling with water even though I've tried resealing them 100 times. Plus the inner lights are already yellowing!

    Haven't been here in a while. (lights)

    Eh, I'll reserve judgment on them until I actually see them on a car. I just need some new lights because my p.o.s. diamond ones keep leaking and the side markers are already starting to yellow.

    Haven't been here in a while. (lights)

    True, true but I'm thinking it's because they're new. Even if they looked horrible on our cars there would always be someone willing to put them on theirs car haha. Maybe I'll photoshop them onto mine to see how they'd look.

    Really, nobody has seen these before?

    Haven't been here in a while. (lights)

    Yeah, I've seen those just wondering how these ones look on a fox and how they look with the driving lights on. Thanks though!

    Haven't been here in a while. (lights)

    Just wondering if anybody has any pictures of these on a car. I tried searching for them without any luck. I apologize if it's been asked a kazillion times before.

    Went AutoXing today

    I did autoxing for the firs time this summer working for GM. I got onto the GM autocross team and was able to drive the stock as well as the GXP version of the pontiac solstice. I too am hooked now. I still need to take the stang out for a spin though.

    what's the deal? 50 Resto

    I had a rock go through a foglight on my way back from Michigan and ordered "one" from them. They sent me 2 instead for the price of one. Now seriously, you can't do much better than that. :D

    ? Car stalls upon braking/depressing clutch

    Hello everyone. As I mentioned above my car seems to want to die a lot while braking and when I depress the clutch. Any ideas what might be wrong? Also, lately my car is being weird upon starting. Sometimes my car won't want to start unless I pump the gas a bit. My friends fox seems to be doing...
