[madmustanger]

Madmustanger here: thanks to mike for info on brake problem. That was a draft. i had got to starting the suspension section when tablet powered down charged it back up and probably hit wrong button and it got posted. Mike helped in brakes and suspension so that leaves interior and drive train but another problem I have one of the former owners removed all id badging engine compartment, interior, motor,rearend so I'm not sure if Musty's a85 or not title indicates she's a 84 lx coupe 4cyl but looks more ike a 85 gtvert 5.0.
I would like to know for sure that i have the210hp 5.0 and if the rearend is a 7.5 or 8.8 just don't have a way to find out
Interior plans for new carpet gd used seats need to know what yr models have same identical bolt pattern new mechanical guages.oil,water,batt charging,140or higher speedo,new ragtop,new rear quarter window motors ,billit alum base plate and other parts in a kit to fix the window problem.
Replace rear seatwith panel for speakers and lastly rollcage.
Drive train: aready have a 306 long block if guy doesn't sell it before the 3rd overhaul t5 5spd rear's been discussed.
Income:I'm on ss disablity and generally have a hundred or so to work with but can get loan advances thru founders fed crd union 500 to 1000 every3-6 months. So that roughly my project ,funds and what info i need thx to any and all that helps. Will try to post pics of musty sorry she's a bit dirty

look at the diffs from the back. the 7.5 looks like a circle, the 8.8 looks like a square with rounded corners.

look at the 10th digit on the VIN. (should still be there in the dash) write it down then look here.

if its an 84, it will have an E. if its an 85 it will have an F.

any seats from 79-2004 will bolt right in. Ive even heard bench seats from fairmonts and some T birds will bolt in. not sure about that, and a bench seat will interfere with the parking brake.
