Ah ok. I might take a look at that, or I may just sell this one with the soft underbody so I can afford one that hasn't seen salt and is in process of going turbo.

I'll look into it, thanks. I'll be gone for the weekend but will get an update next week sometime.

yes it is manual, sorry for not specifying. as for the vacume lines I'm not seeing them, this just has a cable that comes outa the firewall right by the actual throttle cable, two other symptoms i have are the door lock button doesn't work nor does the hatch release, and the fan has two speeds...

I've gotten that 1989 on the road finally. Now the cruise control does not function. I have adjusted the connector at the buterfly and checked the fuse. What else can i look for before I'm doomed to a road trip with no cruise this weekend? Thanks for the help.

It would be more of a shame to let his early 70's mach 1 with the 351 see the wreckers, but there again I don't know how bad his wife is riding him to dump the junk heaps in the yard as she sees them.

update i did get the 89 today, the reason I haven't given out more info on the 84 is because the deal i currently have going on it is between me and the owner, if it comes down to the scrap heap or me, then yes I will share it, but for right now its parked in the elements like it would be if i...

or i might have just stumbled upon another option which will delay the turbocoupe coming home and getting parted. I made the mistake of checking out craigslist last night and found an 89 with manual tranny supposedly minimal rust, good tires on poly casts. I'm going to look at it saturday, but...

ok for what i found today when checking it out. typical rust underneath the doors, fenders and fender wells look good. passenger side door has the bottom rotted pretty bad, no passenger floor and drivers floor has a stripe that is gone. The suspension mounting points i could see (its sitting on...

Its been way to long since I've been in here. I realize this is off topic a little bit, but I'm basically inheriting the car in the topic. What structurally are deal breakers for viewing it as a driveable vehicle? Where do these rot out first? It appears its been parked since 1997 that was...

running totally factory stuff you can get away with shaving .065" off of the head. Takes a good couple thousand miles to have it totally blowing blue smoke, and thats over a 200,000 miles bottom end. Comes to life by comparison, no idea on the cams.

not trying to get into trouble, but check out 4m.net it is more of a strictly racing forum and has lots of great information there.

I find a quarter works very on the exhaust manifolg end of it

I found it easy to navigate. The overlaps make sense. Overall I found it a great website to browse.

nice work, its amazing that lower end holds together through all the abuse.

That sucks, I've been waiting for one good run where nothing major goes wrong, when you get this run, it will be amazing!! Keep up the good work.

cut the wire, i have that problem in a car awhile back, my buddy cut the wire to it, and it hasn't bothered me since then.

can't wait to see what a good run will bring.

That's purdy. Great work!

Go 2.3T! Talk about power to weight ratio. That and there may even be room in there to work on it if somthing blows up.

Looks great, can't wiat to see vids and hear the stories on it.
