    Windshield Weatherstrip where to buy!

    I would have tried www.texasmustang.com and www.californiamustang.com as well. I like 50resto (LMR) and have gotten a lot of things from them. They ship fast and generally have good products. HOWEVER, I did get their SUNROOF weatherstrip kit (glass to body and body to glass) and body to...

    smoking in your mustang?

    Well, smoking is gross, expensive, unhealthy, and a terrible habit, so I don't smoke anywhere, and I don't allow others to smoke in my vehicles either. When I was a little younger, I needed my brother to go w/ me to get a car part and he was smoking. I told him to put it out and he said...

    Widest tires on my rims?

    What series 255's are you going with? 255/50's probably would be hard to stretch onto 7's and if you go to 255/60's, it'll be 27" of tire (1.5" more than stock) and it will mess w/ your speedo and also will look goofy in my opinion (because the sidewall will be quite tall for a street tire on a...

    engine mount to engine, bolt removal *help*

    No prob. I wish I would have checked back yesterday to mention this: If you haven't pulled it out yet, a load leveler might help if you're pulling the tranny and engine together. That's what I did. I got my load leveler from a local industrial store (Grizzly's) and it worked, but I wasn't...

    HEY RESTORED OWNERS

    so pretty much you're asking how much it would cost for body work and a paint job. That will depend on what kinda paint you use and how much body work is required. The best and most accurate estimate would probably come from local body/paint shops. Tell them you'd like to do a resto and would...

    Was this a good deal on this 91LX

    Pretty much what everyone else said. If everything was done right and you like the car, it's worth it. I can say that with experience. I paid $6500 for my GT back in 2003 and it had a lot less than your car and the hood has a place where the paint is off, the front bumper cover is losing...

    engine mount to engine, bolt removal *help*

    It sounds like you're pulling the engine? If so, there's one nut that holds the motor mount to the k-member; remove that nut and pull the engine w/ the motor mount attached. You can pull the mount off of the block when you get the engine out. You don't want to try to put the engine back in...

    Twin Turbo Deisel Corvette?

    you suck! I didn't figure GM would do that anyway, I figured it was a link to a modded Vette someone had done. I was just looking at a 95 6 speed vette the other day. I wish I could buy it, but I have other priorities, so oh well.

    So long lifters, it's been fun..

    That's a good way to get oil all over the engine bay. I've done that before and wish I didn't. If you wanna check to see if the oil is getting to the top, I'd pull the valve covers and turn the engine over manually and oil should pump up to the top.

    help prepare for the long road ahead....

    My finance teacher just told us today: So you're going to graduate and get out in the real world...you'll learn that everything we've taught you over the past 4 or 5 years is wrong. So what are you to do? Quit? 95 million people drop out...I saw them on my way to work this morning - they...

    help prepare for the long road ahead....

    1) I don't live in VA, but I'd definitely choose the cheaper one. I went to a community college and got my gen ed out of the way and then transferred to a local university (I graduate in May - finally). Anyway, what is your major? In my opinion, you may not NEED the excellent school with the...

    Must read story..Mustang Sold!

    I just don't understand that. Why would the guy not want to test drive it? Either he's very incompetent, very trusting, very wealthy, or a combination of the three. I assume he's driving it back to Cali? Who can get time off work on such short notice to go buy a car? Amazing. I paid...

    Can I keep my 11.5 Et streets? Please Help

    Yeah, I say the 28" is too tall. 11.5 wide would probably be fine (if they work now without rubbing the insides, but they are kinda tall. I'd look into some 26" like mob has. I can show you pics of a 28" tire vs a 26" tire on my GT if you want

    My first time at the track...

    I ran at the drag strip for the first time today. I took my 90 LX in my sig. It's mostly stock except for the few little things in my sig. It was fun and I ran about what I thought I would. I had one really bad run, but I didn't break anything. The car actually felt like it was running a...

    Have you negotiated prices of large items?

    yeah, I just wanted to get an idea of how much cheaper people usually get things. It works better if you offer a good price that's not too low, but something you're comfortable with so that they don't think that you're just low-balling them. If you start real low and inch up 50 bucks or...

    Have you negotiated prices of large items?

    I know a lot of the time you can negotiate the price of large purchases (over $1000, etc). An instructor of mine said he went to the mall to get suits. It was gonna be like $1400; he offered $1200 and they took it. I've negotiated vehicle prices, but that's about it. Have any of you...

    Ive come to realize that people mod cars for different reasons..

    I guess when it comes down to it, I've done more repairing than actually Modding. The GT is pretty much how it was when I bought it, except I've rebuilt the engine & spent countless hours troubleshooting things. The mods I have done have been mostly for necessity (electric fan on the LX was...

    Don't ever sell your Fox

    My cars are worth more to me than they are to someone else. My 90 LX 5.0 5 spd w/ sunroof would probably go for $1500 or so if that because it's got a lot of rust, faded paint, 154k miles, and the front end isn't perfectly aligned because of a wreck. The $1500 I got would most likely need to...

    How do i make a Engine Start Button?

    Nothing personal man, if you wanna do yours that way, go for it. But, you're gonna need 12v from somewhere. One of those two wires from the Start button is gonna have to pull 12v from either the battery directly or from the ignition switch (or via the wire to the clutch interlock switch)...
