    Buy a T-Top car even though the other options aren't ideal?

    That's the key I've been thinking. T-tops is biggest thing I want on a foxbody and it's one of the few things you can't just install. If I want a different interior/trans/motor/suspension, I can do all of that, but I can't install t-tops. Also, the main reason I moved to new edge cars was that...

    Buy a T-Top car even though the other options aren't ideal?

    I wouldn't say I've been shopping actively, but I always keep my eye out. If this car is as clean as they are making it out to be, I think it'd be a good deal. Mileage is a bit high, but it's if bone stock and rust free, the mileage doesn't scare me. It's not a DD either, it'll be a weekend...

    Buy a T-Top car even though the other options aren't ideal?

    I haven't posted in the section in quite a while. I had an 87 Hatch and an 88 notch (if i can find some pics i'll post em) before getting into a couple different new edge rides. But I've always wanted a t-top foxbody and I saw one for craigslist that is very local. Here's the craigslist...

    Where to start my tool collection

    35th Anniversary Ltd Trade-In Value?

    I know trading it in would be hassle free, but you'll do a lot better with a private sale. Collectors stuff means nothing on a trade in, but it should mean something in the private market.

    know any shops that wil install offroad h-pipe in north jersey

    My thought would be post something in the NE section and see if a local member would do it for a modest fee. H-pipes are pretty straight forward with jack/stands/socket wrench/breaker bar. I'd offer, but I'm probably a 80min drive away.

    I need advice on price..

    I think that's a good price for the car. $2K is almost nothing for a running car and it sounds like you could probably part the thing out for more than that. I'd want to see receipts for the motor/trans work, but otherwise, I'd go for it. You could spend $4k on a car and still realize it needs a...

    Bought something for the Stang! (And installed them!)

    Wow i can only imagine how you feel. I'm only 5'11" and I wish I could sit a little bit lower

    Bought something for the Stang! (And installed them!)

    Wow, they look great! By sit a bit shorter, you mean closer to the ground? I would love that, I've always wished the stock seats could go a little bit lower.

    took it to the stealership

    I had a similar problem to what you are saying, though i had it related to a fuel rail bolt that would spin, but not come out. I used a slide-hammer to get it out. After that our situations differ, but I think helicoil would work in your case.

    Something breaks every time!

    Yea those could be cobra seats, there wasn't anything special about them in 1999. Agreed with the guy above who said one thing at a time. I usually find that any job I tackle on the car results in some kind of snag and some times it's better to just walk away for a little while and come back...

    Price for my car

    I'd pay around 7k. I just finished spending 4 months shopping, and seems like the ball park for a similar car. Being yellow and automatic really hurts it IMO, but i'm sure it appeals to some ppl.

    Anyone ever swap just mufflers?

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I have the entire SLP LM2 2.5 catback system. I just don't like the sound of the mufflers and I want to go back to the Mac mufflers.

    Anyone ever swap just mufflers?

    I just bought another mustang (pics to follow in another thread once it's detailed and some hideous decals are removed) and I don't really care for the exhaust. It has the SLP LM2 on it now with the stock mid-pipe. My previous cars always had Mac exhaust, which I loved. But buying a new...

    will car pass inspection with offroad h-pipe

    They wouldn't have even gotten as far as the sniffer test. Every state at least has the visual exam and without cats, you would have failed instantly. Good thing you have the stock pipe handy :)

    Alternator Issue??

    Agreed, head unit should not throw a code at all. As for the alternator, it could be the problem, though I would lean towards the wiring. Take it over to Advance Auto, they should be able to test it for you and tell you if it's putting out the proper power. Test should be free.

    Best mail order tune?

    I would also recommend an MPH tune, I loved the tune that came with my Mongoose kit. Best bet for power though would be to have it tuned on a dyno, though you might want to accumulate some more mods before doing so.

    Coilovers on a DD???

    Sorry for the brief tangent; what is corner weighted?
