    AOD Problem NOT TV cable.

    I bought an 89 5.0 LX convertible this winter with 69K original (documented) miles. The only problem on the car I noticed before buying it was that the ATF looked like it hadn't been changed for a while. So after I purchased the car, I replaced the transmission filter and gasket, and then did a...

    Top frame allignment problem

    Hissin'50, I thought it was strange that my top is square to the windshield header when this happens. One side isn't worse than the other like on your car -- it just won't move forward enough to latch. Last week I spent about 20 minutes fiddling with the latch and top frame trying to get the top...

    Top frame allignment problem

    Hey there, I've had my Mustang about a month, and now that the weather is finally warming up, I've been able to put the top down and enjoy the car. The two times I have put the parade boot on the car, the top wouldn't line up afterwards. Both times, the studs for the top were about an inch to...

    Phantom coolant leak/heater core question

    Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to talk to the dealer where I bought the car and see if they'll do anything. I don't expect much -- I know they didn't make much $$$ on the car (convertible in Colorado in February = not much demand). Fortunately, I have a 4x4 that I use as daily transport so...

    Phantom coolant leak/heater core question

    Thanks for the input. I just bought the car last week from a local dealer. When I first test-drove the car, I noticed the A/C wasn't working, so the dealership had the A/C converted to R-134A before I bought the car. The dealer told me that when the A/C was converted (new evaporator, condenser...

    Phantom coolant leak/heater core question

    Hey all, my 89 5.0 has developed a mystery coolant leak. After I've driven the car and park it, I can smell coolant. It will leave a few drops on the pavement that seem to be about where the firewall is. I figured that it was the heater core, because this morning the windshield steamed up after...

    Rim weight question: AFS vs Pony

    Thanks. I've been looking for a while for a clean, low-mile convertible. Finally found one, and it was only about 15 miles from my house. I heard back from AFS. They said that the 17x8 are 25 lbs. and the 17x9 are 26 lbs. each. (without a tire mounted...) Anyone have an idea what a...

    Rim weight question: AFS vs Pony

    Hey there, first time post here. I've been lurking for a while. Just bought a bone-stock 89 LX vert w/ 69K miles on it. I'm thinking about upgrading to either the 16" pony wheels or possibly the AFS Cobra R wheels. (Yeah, I know that everyone and their dawg has these on their car, but I still...
