I put a black Stayfast top on it because the white was too difficult to keep clean for a daily driver; plus the black made it look a little less like a chick car!

Well, mine was all stock when I bought it. Had a 5 speed; and I installed a black cloth top when the white one wore out, and a 3:73 rear end. It had 36,950 miles on it when I bought it and 180k+ when it was wrecked. No scratches on the driver's side, but someone keyed the passenger side door...

I had a Bright Tangerine with white convertible from '98 to 2007, until it was totaled while parked on the street in Tacoma, WA. Sometimes I wonder if it was rebuilt and in someone's garage somewhere. I miss it.

Two words: BAR'S LEAKS.

Obviously some moron at the shop used your key as a pry bar. Go back and tell them to give you another $50 key. If you use a messed-up key in your switch you will quickly wear out the switch.

I had the same problem. There was a hairline crack in the manifold where the thermostat resided. Also the manifold gasket seemed to be leaking in that area. The dealer said that Ford wouldn't replace it because the car is too old and has too many miles on it. I don't have the money to do it...

Yup, it's the clutch then.

Maybe I don't understand the problem. I read, "When I step on the gas nothing happens for 2 seconds then I start moving. And I smell the burnt smell of clutch facing". So it Could be your clutch slipping. Or maybe your brake calipers are stuck and holding the brakes on, which could happen...

I'm assuming that you have a manual transmission; in which case you probably have a slipping clutch. Or maybe your brakes are stuck.

My '96 needs a new top. Is this something I can realistically do myself? I put a top on an Alfa Romeo once but it wasn't complicated, just time consuming. Also where should I get the top? I'd like to get a black Stayfast cloth one. Thanks.
