    Door Re-install

    Thanks for the info. I have been chasing down a leak and found that the water is coming in at the top of the door. It got even worse when I put in weather stripping. I think I am going to have to adjust the hinges so the door is slightly higher.

    Door Re-install

    I am getting ready to put the passenger side door back on my car. Just two questions: 1. Do you grease the door pins or the bushings before putting them in? 2. I had to take the hinge plates that bolt to the body off. What is the best way to reinstall? Is it possible to attach the hinge...

    Thanks for the help guys. Anything that anyone else can contribute would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to do any further prep or rust removal before starting paint? 1200gt, those are the wire brushes I used. In addition, I have a slightly smaller one similar to the brush on the drill in...

    Progress Thread Floor Pan Rust Removal - Need Some Advice

    Last month I decided to wash the LX and do an oil change. After washing the car and drying the door jambs, I decided to lift the back of the carpet on the passenger side to check the floor pan to make sure it was dry. This is what I found... As you can see, the carpet was pretty wet and...

    Overheating Problem - '97 Cobra

    I just got the oil cooler replaced on my '97 Cobra. Now the car seems to be overheating. The temperature on the gauge will go up to just short of the overheating point on the gauge, then start to go down. At this point, the low coolant light will come on. This car is my daily driver so I...

    Remember This Car

    Nice. :nice: I am a club pro. I told my Titleist rep I had to have a DCOMP. When I saw your sig, I thought I was on Bombsquad or Golfwrx and got confused.

    Remember This Car

    I remember that car. It was sweet. P.S. - I love the signature. Replace the 905 with a 909. It's awesome.

    Tire Fitment

    Thanks for the info guys. Why would the 245's cost more? Because it's a more popular size?

    Tire Fitment

    I have a '97 Cobra with the stock rims. They currently have 245/45/ZR17 tires on them. My question is: Will a 255/45/ZR17 tire fit on these rims without trouble? I had an alignment problem in the front and wore down the inside of the tires. I was going to rotate the rear tires to the front and...

    Cool abandoned buildings to use as a backdrop for car pics

    I live right near there (about a mile away). There has not been motor vehicle assess to it since the bridge that provided the only motor vehicle access burned down in 1995. It is a pennisula that extends out into Bridgeport Harbor with half in Bridgeport and half in Stratford. On the...

    What Hood Do I Have?

    I believe that's the Stormin' Norman hood. You would want part #CER421.

    clean vert value??

    If the car is a showroom example as you say it is, the price is consistent with what you would expect to pay in an area of the country with cold weather. That is what a convertible in similar condition would be around here.

    Ugh Oh....... Coupe's got another fox!!!

    From the pictures, the exterior looks to be in decent condition. I would just do the rust repair you mentioned and get the car driving before making any paint decisions. Looks like a great platform, good luck!

    Let's talk Oil and etc....

    I would stick with the conventional oil. When I bought my 91 GT almost 7 years ago, it had about 55,000 on it. I started off using Penzoil and a Fram filter, then switched to Castrol GTX 10w-30 and a Motorcraft filter. My dad owns the car now, but I still do the maintenance for him and use...

    March FOTM Tiebreaker

    I have seen PurPony's car in person as well. That's why I nominated it in the original pole. The pictures don't even do the car justice. I believe the power numbers are 570ish hp and over 600rwtq.

    Clutch Fork Help

    Thanks for the additional info Rick. What would you suggest I use to bend it back into place? If I try to push them down with my fingers, they just pop back into place. Maybe a pliers or something?

    Clutch Fork Help

    Thanks for the info. I was thinking that once it was tightened, it would be fine because it seems like it won't really move once inside the pocket for the pivot ball. What about using the one from D&D with the larger opening? I am assuming that notch on the throwout bearing it supposed to...
