I've finally gotten around to being able to spend a little time on some of the projects on the 90. First up, the yellow headlights. Not a problem. Just pull them off, wet sand 400, then 800, then 2000, then spray with clear. Of course, a good cleaning with alcohol between each step. I forgot to take pictures before I did the passenger side, but it does make for a nice before/after comparison.





So now to the driver's side. I've got the headlight and side marker off, but is there some secret to getting the bottom bolt off the parking light? I can loosen the nut with a ratcheting combination wrench, but that's it.

It was a pain, but coming in from under the bumper works well. Looks good btw

So I finished the driver's side and put it back on and discovered that the bulb went out. On the list it went, time dragged on and I finally got around to picking one up and putting it in. Now on to the cheap seat covers so it doesn't look completely like crap inside until I pony up the $1200 or so to have them re-covered. There's a Mustang guy around here with a local connection that does them himself and not TMI.
