    Fox Any recommendations for Metro Washington DC area convertible top repair?

    As the title says.. I'm in the metro Washington DC area and have got alignment issue with the top on my 90 vert. Ever since one of the tension cables snapped its been off kilter and my own attempts at fixing it made only a modest improvement. So I'm hoping someone has a referral of someone who...

    Vert top tension cable snapped

    As described in the topic title, while putting up the top the other day I heard something snap. On inspection it looks like the tension cable on the driver's side is broken is no longer connected to whatever it was connected too. I can't seem to find much information on these tension cables...

    Electrical Temperature Guage Not Working

    I've been pretty silent on here, but that's good news.. It's mainly just that everything has been running and working great. Until now :doh: Forgive the stooopid question, but I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot my temperature gauge issue. My Chiltern and Hayes manuals are pretty useless...

    Expired $50 - Lebra Car Front End Cover: Fits 87-93 Mustang Lx

    Unwanted gift, brand new in box, looking for an appreciative home. I received this as a present from someone who didn't realize it wasn't my kind of thing. So it's AS NEW, never been used or installed. Might be what you're looking for though, and if so why pay full price? Fits a 87-93 Mustang LX...

    Fox Sensible Shoes

    It's amazing how much I wavered back and forth about doing this, but I actually always liked the look of the turbines and felt like they distinguish the 90 LTD Ed 7-up cars from the other green/white verts that came out in the following model years. But liking the way they look doesn't mean I...

    Convertible Top Motor Repair

    Yay, I can post again.. My account got in a funny state for some reason, but thanks to Noobz I'm back. I've been having intermittent problems with my convertible top motor. It works, then it doesn't. Then you can whack it with a wrench (don't laugh..) and it'll work some more. Anyway...

    A Drive In The Rain With The Roof Down

    Really the whole point of having a convertible is to be able to drive with the roof down. I've been extolling the virtues of how well my mustang has been running, and decided to drive it to work one day since I was going to arrive late and leave early and be able to not deal with rush hour. So...

    Happy Birthday 'stang

    America's sports car turns 50 years old.. Unveiled April 17, 1964 at the Worlds Fair in New York. Here's to the next 50 years.. What, if anything, are you doing to celebrate? Dunno about you, but my Stang and I are going out for a ride to show our appreciation, even though we've only been...

    Minor Accident What Would You Do?

    Aargh. I just had a minor fender bender in the Mustang today. An idiot pulled out in front of me suddenly (Korean guy from the name.. not implying that all Koreans are idiots.. and despite how tempting it is I shouldn't stereotype oriental drivers) and I couldn't avoid hitting him. Fortunately I...

    A Real Pain In The ......

    I dunno who else out there has done this but I decided to try and replace the vertical weatherstrip on the quarter window on my vert. The old weatherstrip had split and there was no longer a seal between the dir window and the quarter window. The part is cheap enough, there is also a youtube...

    No Drill After Market Stereo Install?

    I'm pretty sure this is a dumb question, but I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer searching the forums, and online, and the Crutchfield guy I talked with told me that their install kit required drilling holes in the console, which is something I do not want to do. Is there a kit or a way...

    Progress Thread Trim Blackout

    I'm happy with how my stang sits right now mechanically (I know... shhh.. knock on wood), and I promised myself I'd work on some of the cosmetic stuff. It's actually pretty good cosmetically overall, but over the years the trim has faded and is probably the one part of the car that instantly...

    General Why No Love For The 25th Anniv Mustangs?

    Just curious? These don't seem to get much respect. Seems like a Silver Anniversary edition would be more cherished.

    It's Always Something!

    Why is it that every time you thing you've got things just about where you want them to be mechanically (and you can focus on cosmetic stuff), something else comes up? Brought the stang in to get the wheels rebalanced today. They were balanced about a month ago, but still had a front end wobble...

    Fox Door/body Alignment Issues. Worthwhile To Fix?

    Since I don't know a lot about bodywork issues, I'm soliciting opinions from those of you who do, on whether or not I should even considering doing something about the door to body alignment on my 90 LX convertible. Basically I've always just ignored it as a cosmetic issue, but I've been...

    SOLD As-new/unopened Car Cover For 87/93 Mustang Conv

    A bit late for Christmas, but just in case anyone is interested.. I received this car cover as a present from someone who didn't realize I already had one. Basically it's just sitting in my garage in the box, never opened (except to confirm it's contents), so it might as well go to someone who...

    Diagnosis And Repair Of Cabin Heating Issues?

    Hi Everyone, I'm a new member, but a long time Mustang owner. I have a 1990 LX 5.0 Convertible that I've owned since new. Over the years I've been doing more work on it myself, but tend to stick to simpler things, and leave the important stuff to the pro's. My latest issue that I have all of...
