New member in Germany, 64 1/2

[shu]

First time poster. I got a 64 1/2, 289, 4sp, drum brake, manual steering coupe. I'm in the rebuild process. I have named the car "Homer" because of all the Homer's that have owned it in the past. If it could be messed up in any way, it is. I mean everything! The good part is the car came from California so rust is very minimal. I have completed the toploader rebuild and powdercoat, I must put a plug for Mark at Toploader Heaven. Great guy and a fantastic guide to rebuilding a toploader. I'm waiting for my Flaming river rack and pinion, tilt steering, and front disc conversion. Of couse all new upper and lower arms ect... I have a long way to go but it will be worth it in the end. I will keep pictures coming in if you want. Until the next time, SHU

www.mightymustangs.net has a lot of USAF and Army members based in Germany. THere are some mustang places in the NL where you can get parts and have repairs done. ONe guy whom I can recommend you avoid based on my personal experience is a guy named PYt Jaarsma of Motown parts in Hartwerd. http://www.automobielbedrijfjaarsma.nl/ He gave me a written estimate of between EUR 700 and 1000 to install a parking brake cable, put in new lines on my rear brakes, install a new U joint, and tune the car. He charged me EUR 1800, used the wrong U joint causing my car to shudder from the vibrations, replaced a perfectly good condensor that was in the distributor and installed an incompatible condensor that blew, resulting in my being stranded on the side of the road a million miles from no where. As for the tune up, my car was running 12 second quarters when it left the US but when I got it from him, it performs like a 6 cyl diesel running on 3 cylinders. I have to pay somebody else big bucks to fix this fool's incompetent but-f***ery. Based on what he did to my car, you would think he had never fixed a mustang before in his life.
