    Want to raise driver's side seat height

    Has anyone tried to raise their driver's side seat up? I recently bought a 90 Convertible with the leather interior. My fiance will mostly be driving the car and without the tilt wheel, the seat is very low. She basically staring at the top of the wheel. What are my options here?

    How to get off old 5.0 emblems????

    Just took mine off yesterday...I didnt have a heat gun handy so i just pried them off, the used WD-40 to soften up the old adhesive and gently scraped them off with a plastic squeegee. The WD-40 will not hurt your paint.

    Looking for opinions on Fox Convertibles

    Paid $4500, I think its a solid deal. Getting hard to find these in 100% stock, unabused shape. Got it from the original owner who had it garaged since new. He had all of the paperwork, manuals, window sticker etc. which was cool to have. Car was $21,856 brand new. That was a lot of...

    No mustang but a ford...whatcha think?

    If you want a nice FWD daily driver with decent power, get a 98-04 Regal GS. I have a 99 and i absolutely love that car. I put about 400-500 miles on it a week and have never had a problem (has 105k now, bought it with 40k). That Supercharged 3.8 is bulletproof, and it gets 28 mpg highway...

    Looking for opinions on Fox Convertibles

    Thanks guys. Both of the cars I'm looking at have been garaged their whole lives and the owners have assured me that theres no rust. They actually couldnt even tell me if the tops leaked at all because they never had them in the rain. One of them said he hasnt had the top up in years. He...

    Remove Swirls

    yes, you will get dramatically better results with a PC that by hand. I was slow to get one at first. I used to do entire cars by hand. Got good results, but not perfect. I did my 87 GN with the PC the day I got it and I could not believe the results. It was easily the best car-care...

    Remove Swirls

    Are you doing this by hand, DA Polisher, or Rotary? Makes a big difference in which products to use. I will assume you're working by hand. I actually just did a 2000 black GT 2 weeks ago that looked like total crap for a friend. It has scratches, swirls, and worst of all, acid rain...

    Best wax around

    As far as the "best wax", thats extremely debatable so I wont even get into it. Most guys will tell you that you need to order wax from some internet boutique to get the best, but I dont believe that is necessarily true. I have bought a few of these high end waxes, including Souveran for $100...

    96 to 98

    I just purchased my 96 Cobra last September, and I really have mixed emotions about it. I have had many Mustangs before (mostly fox bodies), and yes, the Cobra does get way more attention. However, like another poster mentioned above, I am absolutely terrified of blowing up the engine in...

    FR500s on my Saleen (poll)

    Keep the factory Saleen wheels. If it were just a regular GT I'd say go for it, but its a Saleen, keep it the way it came from the factory.

    BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW

    I have the KDW's on my Grand National. Have had them on for about 5 years and maybe 5,000 miles. They grip very well and still have 10/32 on them, theyre like new. However, after 5 years of limited driving they are dry-rotted and will probably have to be replaced this summer. As far as...

    Need help with tranny issue.

    If its an auto it might just be the pan leaking. Get under there and check it out. If it is, just drop the pan, replace the filter, gasket, and fluid and you're done.

    Anyone have just their rear window and quarters tinted?

    Looking to get the ugly purple tint off of my car from the previous owner and have some good tint done. Question is, would it look bad to just get the two rear quarter windows and rear window done? I dont really want to front side windows done. If anyone has pictures of just the rear...
