    What should I get as a daily driver?

    Definitely the CRX. I owned 1989 si for 12 years and it was great! Easy to work on, fast (for it's size) and had one of the best safety ratings for a 2 seater. It can hold a ton of stuff in the back. Toyotas are too expensive to fix. You can see from the poll results what people think of...

    Mustang II, a Forgotten American Icon

    I couldn't agree with you more! A month ago my husband talked me into buying a 78 hatchback when I really wanted a 60's something stang. Now we just found and bought a 78 cobra. This poor cobra hadn't even been started in 2-3 years. It had been stored outside and has quite a bit of...

    Door speakers

    We want to add front door speakers to our 78 hatchback but have found that the window crank hits the speaker grills on new style speakers. Does anyone out there know of current aftermarket speakers (not too expensive) that have a grill that will work? Our alternative is to try and make...

    Restorative painting and wheel centers

    Wow! Great pictures! I sincerely appreciate it! I just need one thing cleared up. Would the center shown in the top left picture fit into the center of the wheel shown in the top right picture. Are all the centers from any type of wheel interchangeable?

    Restorative painting and wheel centers

    My husband, Ed, and I wanted a car to fix up and drive around for a while. Although I really didn't want this car, I've now become very attached and would like to do a few things. We are striving for driver quality (showing is not in our budget). With the great wealth of knowledge on this...

    CARLISLE IN 3+ WEEKS....

    OK, my husband and I are new to all this stuff. When is the show and I'm assuming Carlise, PA? My husband grew up in State College. (I noticed some Altoona residents in the posts.) Also, do they sell, trade, etc. at these types of shows? We're from VA but might be interested in driving up...

    Jumping out of second gear

    My husband and I just picked up a 78 2+2 four speed. The car is in good shape but likes to jump out of second gear some times. My husband owned a 78 cobra (when they were new) that did the same thing. Is this a common problem and is there a "permanent" fix? Also, the power steering seems to...
