    Rivet size for plastic flaps along base of engine bay?

    I've got some spares of that type of push pin in my tool box. Did Ford incorporate the use of the same push-pins used for the plastic flaps which they used to hold down those plastic trim pieces which cover the rear bolts which secure the front seats to the floor boards??????????

    Rivet size for plastic flaps along base of engine bay?

    When I was washing my engine bay last weekend, I noticed that some of the rivets or screws that hold up those plastic flaps around the base of the engine bay are missing and the flaps are hanging loosely. I haven't really gotten under the car to figure out what needs to be done, but I'm...

    Clicking sound coming from rear or car

    Check to make sure your breakline to the rear drums aren't rubbing against the inside of your wheels rims. I had this problem. The line was knocking against the steel clip located on the inner part of the rim on every full rotation.

    Depreciation

    I'd knock off at least $1000 from her asking price as your tranny will need an overhaul. If the car had not been beat on, the 3rd gear syncro would be fine, so assume this car's been run pretty tough, or the girl doesn't know how to shift.

    How to install/replace Foxbody hatch supports?

    Guys, Thanks to all of you who responded to my question. Yesterday afternoon I found some time and did the swap. The swap was real real easy :) I don't believe that the supports on the hatch were the originals either. From what I've heard from some of the posters here, the originals are...

    How to install/replace Foxbody hatch supports?

    By removing the clips, you guys don't been prying the c-clip right off the support do you? I was thinking more like prying back the clip teeth inside the slot of the support just enough to pop these things off right? I guess it won't matter if I ruin the ones on while taking them off as the...

    How to install/replace Foxbody hatch supports?

    As the title states, I just purchased a pair of hatch supports for my 1990 Foxbody and need info on how exactly I should go about swapping out my old for the new. I don't want to fiddle with these things and accidentally break'em as a result. Also, is it normal that I can't get my new ones to...

    2500 dollars to spend on a 93 Lx! What to buy?

    I'd hold off on the expensive mods for just a little while and just drive the car for a few months and iron out any bugs before investing money into the car. It doesn't help much that you spend $1000 on a whole new exhaust system and come to find you should have replaced the cooling system...

    clips for upper steering column?

    I'm assuming you're talking about the plastic shroud that goes around the steering column? I took my 1990 one apart last year. No clips. The top one has pegs, the bottom one has female ends and then use 2 screws to tightned them together.

    Dash apart soon for heater core, anything else to replace while it is open??????

    Now would be a great time to install either those whiteface guages, or reverse glows.

    My car CAN'T be burning THAT much oil... CAN IT?!

    I know that having to much oil will lower your hp as more of the crank goes through the oil and this slows things down. I think you may get oil in the crank case which is shouldn't.

    Taking off cage?

    The cage was in the car to strengthen the body. If you pull it out and this car is nothing more than a "cruiser" car, then you would be fine. If the cage was installed correctly, it should have been welded to the floor at all 6 points. Is it???????????????? If all it was is bolted down...

    Falling sunroof

    I just dismantled my sunroof a few weeks ago to cure a little leak I had at the base of one of the holes where the screw goes through to the retainer on the otherside. By dropping, I take it you mean when you release the clasp and flip it up to "prop" the sunroof on it, hence when you hit a...

    Lucas Oil???

    The biggest worry with this oil stabalizer stuff is #1. How does it affect the defoaming agents in oil? #2. Will it seize/gumm up your oil pump? I'd stay away from this stuff and just run a heavier oil. Say 10W-40?

    doorjam rot

    Sounds like you're on limited funds with this car. From the sounds of it, I take it you're a young teenager with his first car bought with funds earned at a low paying after school job? Unfortunately, you can't get anything good these days for $1200 unless you find some old lady who had...

    doorjam rot

    At first I thought it may have been the rocker panels in the bottom left corner, but prayed it was really your door you were talking about so that's why I advised you on the door replacement. Same question as above. How the heck didn't you notice this when you bought the car...

    I love my 5.0...

    I don't know where you learned to shift, but 1st gear is ONLY for moving the car from an already dead stop! Never, never, never downshift into 1st! At this point you should only be coasting in neutral. Remember, the car should be at a dead stop when going into 1st gear. If your car is...
