    Brakes 1977 8inch rear. What's the latest on disk brake conversions?

    I seem to remember there was an issue with the MII/Pinto 8inch rear and disk brake conversion kits. I am swapping to a 5 lug, and can either have the axles welded/redrilled or use an earlier Mustang 8 inch rear (have to modify the spring perches a tad)(width difference is not a problem) but I...

    oil pan question

    Hi. I just got my 96 4.6 engine yesterday. I am going to need a front sump oil pan for the project it is going into. Canton Racing has one, but it is way out of my price range at the moment. I was looking at the engine, and noticed that the oil pan on this is flat(sorry, I am used to...

    Couple of 1989 2.3L questions

    Hi. I am getting a Mustang1989 2.3L with fuel injection non-turbo engine to replace the 2.3L carbed engine in my 79 Pinto. OK, stop laughing. :lol: Seriously, I want the fuel injection cause I like that better than carbs. That is the main reason I am doing this swap. Also, I am...

    Parts (mostly)from a 76 Ghia

    car is gone. I have a V8 C4 small bellhousing and a double hump crossmember still. I can ship the crossmember, not too sure about the bellhousing. I also don't know for sure about the bellhousing, I was told that was what it is. If you are local to Northern Ohio I also have a radiator...

    Bit of an update

    This last weekend I bought a radiator support with the inner aprons attached. $30. :D Some surface rust, but nothing bad. It does have the battery area cut off and "repaired" with a piece of sheet metal screwed on, but that is minor. The aprons complete all the way back, other than the above. I...

    Throw away or keep questions

    Any reason to keep the original carpet? It might clean up ok, would take a steam cleaner probably. But it is pretty easy to tear already and I don't know if it would really be worth the effort. I most likely will be changing colors anyway, but it does have the matting under it and is all there...

    Getting warmer, started on the II again

    I finally got out into the garage for something besides getting into my Taurus. Did a bit of cleaning and sorting, still have a long ways to go. Need more shelving, but wife still isn't working so I have no money to spend at all. But I got most of the interior stuff onto one shelf at least...

    Question about the "other" site

    I hate to ask here, but don't really have any option. I have tried to register twice at mustangii.net. I think maybe they don't like my Juno email address. Anyway, I hadn't been there in a couple of days, and now I cant even get to the forums. All I get when I click on the forum button is a...

    Ghia-removing the trim around the bottom of the vinyl roof?

    Am I just not seeing the nuts? (Yes, I know I AM nuts, thanks) Or do these not have studs and nuts that go on from the inside? Right now specifically asking about the trim along the bottom of the roof that goes below the opera window. I don't have the headliner off yet, but I do have one...

    Thickness of the sub frame metal?

    Talking about the actual frame part that the suspension etc bolts on too. Thanks, Russ

    Shipping cost for floor pans?

    Ok, thinking outloud here. I got the dash and all heating stuff out of the car, windshield wiper motor and linkage, even the brake pedal support and gas pedal. Interior is stripped for the most part, need to scrape the sound deadening from the rear floor. The firewall wasn't anywhere near...

    So, how are the door jamb light switches SUPPOSED to come out?

    Never mind. I cut the wires. Thanks, Russ

    How to remove the dash?

    I know that there are like 4 or 5 main bolts. But in addition to that what all do I need to disconnect or remove, like wiring, heat/AC controls/ductwork, etc? I am taking it completely out and it is just me, myself, and I, :rlaugh: and I don't want to get it loose and find something is still...

    Rust is here-kind of a whinish rant I guess

    Well, not sure what to do with the car right now. go to http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3811060/3 for pictures of the below. I took the carpet up so I could get to the wiring going to the seat belt and the emergency brake handle. Found that there was a connector near the seat belt. That...

    76 driver's side seatbelt wiring disconnect?

    I had this in another post, but I think I need to put it in it's own. Where do I disconnect the wires that go to the driver's seat belt(assuming it is for a warning light), the short receiver end that mounts to the tunnel? The covering that goes over the belt is very tight, so I am thinking...

    Question about Stumpy's Traction Bars

    I sent him an email about the subframe connectors and haven't heard back yet, so I figured I would just ask this here instead. Do they replace the stock shock mounting plates that attach with the U bolts( my mind is blanking on the correct name) or do they just attach to them? I know that...

    A different sort of gas tank question

    Maybe I am up too late. But I had a crazy idea while reading here. I have read about people removing the spare tire well and making a flat trunk floor. So far so good, I would be carrying a larger spare than would fit in there anyway. Also read about using a fuel cell and centering it for...

    Front subframe question

    Probably a stupid question, but it is really bugging me. My subframes are not flat on the bottom all the way along the length. On the very last couple (or more) inches on the rear, they have what looks like a bump on the bottom. Sort of like if you take the letter p and rotate it ninety...

    How to remove the center console?

    I did search. This console is in really good shape and I don't want to risk damaging it, so I am asking first before just attacking it. It is an automatic trans one. I am pretty sure I have to remove the T handle from the shifter, but I don't know where the screws/bolts are hiding that...
