anybody know if the tire iron fake leather bag was stock or an aftermarket extra. would be the last piece to finish the trunk. if it is not stock then the trunk is done.

jcgafford · Jul 29, 2013

ran that cap that tested well. compared it to the new plastic ugly rs90 and it falls short. a new cap is a new cap and it functions much better. oh well.

Lol. I bought like 10 motorcraft water inlet gaskets one time. The only one all the part stores around here sell is the one with adhesive on one side. I use gasgacinch and I really don't like the adhesive... I have a ssp oil cooler I'm going to save for a rainy day.

removing the rear bumper cover today to tackle some of that michigan rust that has built up in the rear end.

jcgafford · Sep 15, 2013

rear bumper had about ten pounds of rocks and dirt in it. dropping the tank this weekend to complete the rust removal above it.

At this point the car is getting ready for winter storage, not that it was out on the road or anything. It is up on jackstands and I am going to drain the oil in a few days.

List to be done come warm weather: Undercoating, new skins on seats, paint and a new vert top. After that a good once over of the brakes and steering and she will be on the road. In a few years i can see pulling the engine and trans to clean and repaint them.

My original 91 was red with porno red interior. I liked it but it had a black top.

Typical car restoration thread. Got alot done last year and then nada. Had it out of the garage three times this summer to clean the garage and thats it. Too much family and work stuff. Bet I dont even get the exhaust back on before hunting season. Oh well its not going anywhere.

jcgafford · Jun 10, 2015

So out it came from the garage. Wire wheel and some ruddy orange rust primer for the rear axle and surrounding crap and we are back at it. Going to work on finishing the undercarriage before july hits. Then piece by piece on the remaining little stuff until i can recoupe from both my wife and my daily driver blowing transmissions. At least i can get my hands dirty again.

jcgafford · Dec 30, 2015

Found rear seatbelts with intact sleeves! In the mail already. All small miscellaneous parts are now accounted for and are oem

2 years and a nursing degree later I finally can tinker again. Looking for advice on restaining the steering wheel leather back to red. The wheel itself is perfect, it just has the dye removed from years of use. Anyone done this?

Ring, ring, calling dave, ring, ring.

Great to have you back, btw, I'm the resident class clown
