    For Sale Ford Mustang T5 Transmission Needs Rebuild

    Used T5 transmission, last used in a 1987 Mustang GT. Needs rebuild. I can't remember which gears are toast; I replaced this in my Mustang at least 10 years ago, and kept it assuming I would rebuild it someday. That project time will never come, so this needs to go. $500 or best reasonable...

    Selling a pair each of used original black door panels and arm rests. Bought these a few years ago thinking I would convert my interior to black, but I am going to keep it grey. Asking $150 for the pair of armrests and $300 for the pair of door panels, or best reasonable offer. Located in...

    SOLD Chrome 4 Lug Ponies With Tires

    Chrome 4-lug Ponies with tires. Both wheels and tires have seen better days - but these would be a great candidate for rechroming, powdercoating, spraying, or PlastiDip - and/or to get your wheel-less chassis rolling again! Some of the chrome is bubbling in a few spots, and the tires are...

    Suspension Torque Rear Control Arms - Ride Height On Jack?

    I'm in the process of replacing rear suspension bushings, and as I understand it, the car needs to be at ride height before torquing the LCA and UCA bolts. I'd rather avoid putting the wheel back on, dropping the car to the ground, then torquing...it's gotta be easier to get a wrench in there...

    Electrical How To: Hid Retrofit With Trs Projectors

    TheRetrofitSource (http://www.theretrofitsource.com/)was running a Black Friday special on its full retrofit kits, so I finally pulled the trigger on a bixenon Mini H1 kit (http://www.theretrofitsource.com/complete-retrofit-kits/bi-xenon-morimoto-mini-stage-3-kit-h1.html#.Uurx8bSNKQk)...

    Electrical Warped Headlight Lens While Baking

    I was attempting an HID projector retrofit, and while baking my aftermarket smoked headlights I put a curve into the lens. Has anyone had any success with, or have tips for, flattening out such an issue? Before I plunk down another $200 on new housings...

    140mph Cluster

    I have a 140 mph cluster for sale, located in Connecticut. $150 obo. I haven't personally tested it, but I was assured it's in good working order from the Stang'er I bought it from. Got it because I thought my cluster was junk; but turned out to be cheap fix.

    Suspension Remove Spring Isolators Without Fully Removing Springs?

    Part of the Prothane bushing kit I got of course includes F/R coil spring isolators. In doing research looking for install tips, it seems like a large number of folks swapping springs are removing the isolators without any detrimental NVH effects; and getting a mild drop from it. If mine are...

    SOLD 130a 3g Alternator (used)

    I installed this reman'd 130 amp 3G alternator about 25k miles ago. While doing some other work in the engine compartment this summer, I decided to upgrade to a bigger unit...which didn't require a core charge, so I still have this one. Getting another remanufactured one from Auto Zone, etc...

    Prothane Trans Mount

    In the middle of installing a Prothane trams mount, and it appears as though the mount-to-xmember holes don't line up. Is there a "front" and "back" to these mounts (not marked as such, nor did the instructions indicate that, nor did it appear that way to the naked eye), or do I somehow have to...

    Expired Bbk Chrome Under Hood Air Inlet

    Similar to this one. It's been used for a number of years, and has definitely seen better days, but would be a good upgrade from stock. Would be a good candidate for powdercoating as well, as the chrome is marred in a few spots and from rubbing on the fender. $50 obo + actual shipping.

    Drivetrain Test Vss?

    Is there any way to test if my VSS has gone bad? A while back my speedo stopped working (or rather, nothing until 60mph, then LOTS of bouncing). I've replaced the speedometer itself, and the cable (and lubed it), and now I have no movement at all. I know my white drive gear (3.55s out back...

    Fox Anyone In Ct Or Eastern Ny Have A Fox Cluster I Can Borrow?

    I installed in my 87 GT a 140 mph speedometer and volts/water temp gauges from a 90 Mustang about 10 years ago. The car sat for ~5 yrs, and sometime over the past year I believe the speedo, and possibly the temp and oil pressure gauges, have gone bad somehow. Speedo was the first culprit - it...

    What Yr Is This Low Coolant Sensor From?

    I bought my 87 with this low coolant sensor. The float fits inside the tube, which fits inside the overflow tank. Apparently no 87's came factory with a sensor, and this isn't the same sensor as for 90-93 (per LRS). The 90-93 overflow I bought to replace my cracked "stock" unit doesn't...

    Suspension Control Arm Bushings = Rear Diff Bushings?

    This is likely a stupid question, but just to make sure - are rear control arm bushings the same as "rear differential bushings?" I'm trying to replace all bushings on my 87, but I can't find diff bushings (needed per the mechanic who recently worked on her) anywhere...everything see points to...

    Engine B303 And E303...do They Need A Tune?

    My car (mods in sig) is currently at a local shop getting some light restomod work done. The shop owner has been a Mustang guy pretty much for life, but while discussing possibly throwing in a cam while my motor is out, he mentioned that both a B303 and E303 cam would require tuning and...

    Expired Wtb: Mustang Blanket

    I'm looking for a Mustang blanket. Fleece is my first choice, but I will entertain anything. Black preferred, but blue would be fine. Something like this (http://www.cafepress.com/+50rwb_throw_blanket,494667543) would be ideal (though with the Running Pony rather than 5.0)...I just don't...

    Where To Find This Running Pony Decal?

    Mustangs Unlimited (I believe) used to sell various sizes/colors of this decal years ago: Searching through their online catalog now, they seem to have about 472 billion decals in an unfilterable database. Does anyone know where to get these decals today?
