    Body work questions?

    Yeah, so far everthing that has primer on it has had a good sanding to get rid of old clearcoat and give it a good bonding surface. Its also the best way to find those little dings that your eye doesn't catch. All my rust spots have been about marble size or a little bigger, so I used a...

    Body work questions?

    Well, I have been working on my 88LX for a while now. I am trying to smooth out the body due to old paint job, hail damage, rust and I just don't want it blue anymore. I am trying to do all this on a low budget. It is currently about 75% primer gray now, with all the rust ground to bare metal...

    Headlight question.

    OK, well I am wondering if I can save a buck or two here. My 88 LX has what I would guess are the orignal headlights or at least pretty old. The plastic lens' are pretty sun baked and don't have that nice clear appearance anymore. Is there any kind of cleaner or anything else I can do to make...

    Black paint/blue interior??

    Mine is an 88 LX Notch 2.3. The car has been repainted but I was told it was still the factory color. I really don't know though. Not that it matters, I stole the car for $900, :nice:

    Black paint/blue interior??

    Right now my mustang is a factory light blue color with light blue interior. I am gonna try to get a paint job in the early summer. I would really like to go with black, or possibly some kind of bright blue. Does anyone have a black paint with blue interior setup? I am curious as to how this...

    Door question and a pic.

    Well, when I bought my car the doors were sagging. I replaced the hinge pin on the drivers side but couldn't do the passenger side. On the drivers side I just used my dremel and cut off the end of the pin, because the factory pins were pressed on instead of the snap rings that are on the after...

    Another newbie.

    Well, that will teach me to proof-read my work. It should be, I don't want it to sound like a ricer. :shrug: I would like to have something close to V8 sound. Man, don't I look silly.

    ? Air filter assembly

    I didn't notice a huge difference, but there is a small increase in power. I also bumped up the timing a bit and that helped a lot also. I really can't tell a difference in sound at the moment because I have a hole in my muffler so that is all I can hear.

    ? Air filter assembly

    Well, I took the silencer off my air filter. While I was doing this I noticed this vaccum control thingy in there. It controls a flap inside the housing that switches from outside cold air to a hose that i guess pulls in heated air from the exhaust manifold. Is this important to keep...

    Another newbie.

    Yeah, mine is a 5 speed. So I read lots of the tech articles, I am gonna bump my timing just a bit, and in a month or so get the exhaust put on. I have what looks like the factory exhaust, some crappy 1 3/4 inch pipe or something close to that. What diameter pipe would be good to open it up...

    Another newbie.

    Ok, well I just bought an 88 mustang lx and found this wonderful place to ask for advice. So, here I go. For some background I found this car in the mountains of NC and bought it for $900. It has 66k original miles and is in really good shape. Typical aged paint job and worn interior. I am...
