    Expired 1990 Mustang Gt, Mostly Untouched, Great Condition

    You’re looking at a very clean (and nearly virgin) ’90 GT. Second owner with 105,866 miles. The car has been a covered fixture in the garage when not on the road and driven only in the Summer. Never seen an accident in its life. Since it has seen less and less road time each year I’m thinking it...

    Busted some bolts removing my battery tray...

    In removing my battery tray I managed to busy the 2 bolts securing it to the fender. I've purchased the tools necessary to extract them (one is flush and the other is protruding about 1/4 of an inch) but are potentially some issues getting a drill in this space. This lead me to consider...

    Detroit Area Mustang guys

    I'm still alive! My 90 sits in my garage now and has become a nice weather weekend car. I now drive a 2005 Volvo S40 T5, which seems to be a much more expensive car to mod lol.

    Hood won't latch...

    Got it. There's a little tiny nub of a mechanism hanging off to the driver side halfway down the lock mechanism. I need to push down on that with a screwdriver before closing the hood. I guess the hood release is shot or at least needs some grease. Thanks guy! Now time to find out why my...

    Hood won't latch...

    If by hood latch you mean the spring loaded 'S' looking thing enclosed in the assembly pictured in hood1.gif, then that isn't catching on anything. The hood is bouncing around on the springboard and the lip around that isn't catching on the latch. There aren't any signs of the latches moving...

    Hood won't latch...

    It sits about an inch too high and bounces around. I can even lean on the front of the hood so it's in a closed position, but get up and it springs back. :drool: (these smileys are great)

    Hood won't latch...

    Funny you say that! I tried that to no avail. And on a side note I checked out where I thought it should latch and there weren't any marks. When I bent it it made a mark where I thought it should latch but still didn't latch. It's funny how simple this mechanism is and how much grief it's...

    Hood won't latch...

    What part did you bend? I checked mine out as best I could and the hook catches, but the central latch assembly just bounces around on that springboard and doesn't latch into the springboard hole. :bang:

    Hood won't latch...

    I never thought I'd have this problem but it began yesterday. The same day some debris gauged my door on I-94 and the same day my charging system went kaput. The damn hood won't latch! Had this problem on my last 5.0 but it was actually that chunk of metal in the hood catch that...
