[80Notch]

Got my "new" trans today!!!!

[gr79]

Adjust ds door striker bolt inward.
Door now closes/latches the rest of the way, flush.
No more door 'clunking' (was mistaken for window rattle).

Also got a warning light, on the graphic display, for running lights and brake light.

-Right turn signal no flash, stayed on.
-All lights were lit.
Turned on emgy flashers
-RR tail light not flashing correctly. Bulbs were flashing out of sync.
Smacked tail light assy with hand.

Had to repeat procedure later that evening.

All lights now working fine.

Got my "new" trans today!!!!

Im on my phone

I converted my little rat's nest of inline fuse holders all connecting to my starter relay to a fuse block with only one big wire going to the starter relay.

Cool stuff! I think I need to do the same thing. The nut on my relay is just barely hangin' on! Where did you get that fuse block?

[moelll]

I got the fuse block from a local electronics shop called or VAC electronics . Though I'm sure you can find it online

That's better

[webestang]

Had to have a coolant line and fitting made for the C-3 auto ........Do'h.........

[Zap's 85 GT]

Pulled the cover off and put the battery on charge. I sold some bits and finally saved enough to order my tubular k-member kit today. Team-z metal matrix with their autocross a-arms and 12-175 coil over spring kit for the front. Said that he had to make the a-arms which may take a week by the time they come back from paint/powdercoat. Not in a big hurry. Maybe I can start pulling the car to bits in preparation?

[80Notch]

trans is shot no first or 4th pissed but w/e doing a v8 swap this summer

[Pestlnce]

Pulled the passenger door apart, glass out etc - cleaned it all, replaced the guide bushings, put new door panel felt/chrome swipey pieces on and put it all back together.
The drivers side gets the same treatment next weekend.

Since they are just holding down the garage floor over winter, I went and checked the tire pressures to make sure they are not getting too low and moved them just a little in an attempt to stop flat spotting the tires. Then I went back inside. It's cold out there.

[smitty54]

Well I didn't do it today because it's snowing like crazy now, but yesterday, I replaced the 2 low beam headlights with Sylvania halogens and took a 20 minute cruise on the highway. It may be the last time for awhile before I can drive her again.

Starting a new thread......in place of last years

[85GT-79FJ40]

Picked up a used Edelbrock Performer 289 intake for mine from Cottonbear a few hours ago. I'm hoping it will wake up a non-roller motor as well as the same intake did on my 85. Just need to give it a once-over in my friends blast cabinet and a coat of paint.

Mine works great.
Bussmann 8 position.
Hot is wired thru firewall to a 30a Maxifuse, then to starter relay battery post.
Plenty of breathing room to add ATC fused stuff.
Chose to power up only in key-on position via a regular 12v 30a multipurpose square black relay.
All new ground wires are connected to a barrier strip, which I grounded to the chassis.

NAPA, Summit, Amazon, others, sell them. 6 pole is about 15.00, 8 position is about 20.00.

Same here, also turned the engines over a couple of times with the starter. Battery seems a little weak on the '72 Mustang. I can't take much more of this "global warming".

We are in the middle of a heat wave. This morning it was still cold so I ran the jet heater in the garage and got it nice and toasty. The Marchal covers I have are not in that good of shape. I used epoxy to strengthen one of the tabs that was about to come off. Once that was done I cleaned and painted them. I was going to be different and paint them the canyon red that is on the stripe of my GT350 but I chickened out and went white.

My son and I jumped in it since it got up to a balmy 55 degrees and put on about 40 miles of back road driving. Stopped at the park to take some photos.

[86gtstang]

I drove mine out of the shop and parked it outside all day while I pulled the engine out of a Honda parts car to put in my sons Honda

[80Notch]

pushed the car to the side of the garage...soon as the snow melts were yanking the 2.3...


this is where my notches go when they die apparently lol

[gr79]

Been parked 2 weeks. Too cold and snowy to drive it.
Took a minute. Started, idled, charged good.
Moved it to clear snow off drive.
Dang snow is covering it again.
Replay after replay. Every weekend- Snow, bitter cold, snow, bitter cold.
Too perfect of timing and pattern to be natural weather?

[1986Saleen]

Spent the day flat on my back cleaning under the car. Started another catback swap - putting regular Dynomax's on it this time instead of the Dynomax VTs...

I just bought one from another member here and I'm waiting on it to show up in the mail on Tuesday.

Saturday I bought an 8.8 with a 3.27 tag on it only to find a set of Ford 3.73 gears in it. Not a bad $150 spent!

[85GT-79FJ40]

Cleaned the mating surfaces and degreased the new-to-me intake yesterday. I actually don't think it needs to go in the blast cabinet. A coat of paint or two and it should be good to go. Sat in the car for a little while too. Spring will be here before we know it. Everything I need to do to the Capri by spring will take maybe a day. My BMW on the other hand is really torn apart.
