    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Don't complain now and it will be five dollars a gallon. Then it will be real easy to get them to drop it back down, yea right. I'm glad you have no problem affording the increase in the price of gas. Some of us that have to drive to work though cannot. I'm at the point now I'll have to take a...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Some seem that I posed the question for myself for a future purchase. This is not the case. I intend to buy a new GT but not the 2005 model year. Quite possibly not even the 2006 model year either. I'm going to wait till all the production bugs are worked out on this new version. Others say I...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    I'm just wondering what yall think on this. With the price of gas going higher and higher do you think it will make a real difference in the sales of the new Mustang? Most people seem to be going for something more fuel efficient because of the cost nowadays. What will you do? Say damn it all...

    Porno red and black but which one?

    I think I may have not been clear in my explination. I'm considering painting the exterior of the car. Somewhat along the lines of the 79 Pace Car but without the ground effects. I love the interior I'm just looking for something a little different for the outside but something that continues...

    Porno red and black but which one?

    I want to two tone my porno red Mustang with black but I'm unsure which black to use for the bottom. Which of these two do you think would look better? Flat bumper style black or a gloss type black? It is an 89 LX hatchback model. If you have any pictures with this combination post them as...

    Engine wont start

    I got mine running again. I noticed it was wet or raining when it didn't run. Must be a damn short somewhere. Figgures. Off to chase a wire demon. The last time I replaced the pump I just siponed it out. There is a reserve area that holds a little fuel for the electric pump but if ya wiggle...

    Engine wont start

    I have a similar situation with my 89. I replaced the fuel pump about 6 years ago with whatever Autozone had to offer. Sometimes the car starts and sometimes it doesn't. The sound from the fuel pump is slightly different than my other 89. The other 89 has a Holley fuel pump. When I turn the key...

    Where to find a II?

    Thanks guys for everything, yall are too cool. I'm hoping to sell my 89 for around $2,500-$3,000. If not I'm definatly looking for the $3,000-$3,500 range once I get it saved up. I'm not hel bent on factory correct but not going the hot rod route either. I'm looking for something that is a good...

    I am glad I checked the little stuff before getting a big ticket item like the pump. I plan on taking the pump out and see if I can troubleshoot the problem. Since it consists of an electrical motor and a hydraulic pump I'll have to check both closely. From what I understand the motor side is...

    Where to find a II?

    LOL, I know about getting into it for the long haul. My first Mustang, the one I have to sell, but don't want to I've had for 8 years now. I know about hard to find or non existant parts to. The Fox body does have a lot of parts out there but there are those few hard to find or non existant...

    Where to find a II?

    II tyros? No idea what the hell that is. Maybe I've been sniffin fuel injector cleaner to long. As far as being serious I'm dead serious. As I mentioned I have a salvage yard close by that has more than enough parts for a resto. I spewed when he told me he had a II with a v-8 and t tops but it...

    I swapped out the cb for a new one. I had the same thing going on. It look like I'll have to bite the bullet and get a new pump sometime. Thanks for all your help guys. :D

    Where to find a II?

    I live in the heart of Amish country in OH. The closest big city to me is Wooster. I'm hoping that when my 89 sells I can get a II. I'll admit when I first saw them I didn't like emm at all but then seeing what can be done with them changed my mind. It's also not a Mustang every hairy, tom, and...

    Where to find a II?

    :D Thanks guys. I'll check the sites you listed. I looked at classictraderonline earlier but there didn't seem to be anything in my area. I should probably check the Houston area also since I may be planning on flying down there in a few months.

    Where to find a II?

    My wife and I are getting interested in getting a Mustang II for my replacement pony. I was wondering a few things. First, where could I find one that's not over three grand or so? I checked autotrader and classic trader but didn't find any in my area. We got interested in them when we went to...

    Yeap, you have the right idea about lowering your top. According to the factory ford owners manual it stated to just lower the top and make certain that it's zipped before doing so. As I found out from the upholstry/top shop they said doing that would lead to problems. Instead, I am going to do...

    Okay that sounds good with the electrical. I'll get on it first thing in the morning. I had a hectic day today but what you said makes sense now to me. With the rear curtain thing what the top people were talking about was unzipping the rear curtain first and manually laying it down in the...

    I got a catalog from my top repairer that listed the rebuild kits. From the looks of it they run around $15.00 but it's only for the hydraulic pump end not the electrical motor end. From what I've seen and read on the internet you can have an alternator shop rebuild the electrcal motor part of...

    I checked the Haynes manual I had also and found the cb you mentioned. I checked the Owners Manual for the car, (yup still have it), and it looks to be a 25 amp cb located "lower I.P. flange, left of steering wheel, wherever that is. I'll see if I can figgure it out. You would think with all the...

    Thanks for the info. What I'm hearing is the instantanious click after I push the top button to drop or raise the top. I had no idea there was a fusable link back there at all. It may be the source of all my troubles. Before it started acting up the top raised and lowered fine. Then one night...
