'73 front bumper by
mike[_23_]
So, my dad has a 73 mustang that was parked a little to close to the
garage when the house burned. The front bumper has a portion of the
rubber coating burned off.
I look at this and say, oh there must be plenty of parts out there for
this car, after all its a mustang, you know, collectible. ...

'78 Merc Zephyr. Same clutch/brake pedals as Mustang? by
Kruse
Okay, before you chastise me, hear me out. I've got a '78 Mercury
Zephyr w/302 & automatic C4 tranny. I'd like to convert this car to a
manual tranny. I know that these cars did come with manual trannys, but
I've been unable to find the brake and clutch pedals from a
Zephyr/Fairmont that I need....

'79 brakes by
JohnO
My son's '79 lost its brakes yesterday, and we spent today fighting
this: I can't get all the air out of the left-front line. We've run
8-10 ounces of fluid through the system, which is maybe 18 inches long
on this wheel, and still there are bubbles with no end in sight. The
system must be sucking...

'79 Thermostat by
JohnO
I helped my son replace the thermostat in his Mustang today, assuming
that his 'no heat' problem was typical. We bought a 'stat from Autozone
that claimed to be original equipment.
The first thing we did when we got home was drop the "bad" 'stat in a
pot of water with the good one, and fire up the...

'80 hood by
D.K.R.
I never would have believed how hard it is to find a hood for an '80
Mustang. My son crumpled his and finding a good replacement has been a
pain in the arse. Any ideas where a good replacement might be found?

'83 GT cruise control by
elaich
Does anybody know where to find some pics or drawings of the underdash
components? There is a switch hanging down (brake pedal switch, I assume)
and there was a little bracket laying loose in the floorboard. I can't for
the life of me figure out how it was assembled. Not too easy to see
anything up...

'85 GT upgrade by
Themio
Hi all. I am new here.
I am thinking about upgrading my '85 GT from 4-lugs to 5-lug wheels and
bigger disc brakes all around. Has anyone here done or is familiar with the
upgrade? I've seen the one where they use the axle from a mid-80's Lincoln
and the front spindles of an early '90s GT. It looks...

'85 Mustang LX: replacing brake lamps by
J.B. Bobbitt
One's out.
There doesn't appear to be any access from the exterior. It looks like the
only way in is by removing a large interior panel from the inside. But that
just looks like too much work, and there's probably a better way.
Any help?
Thanks a heap,

'87 by
Rod Williams
Today my '87 Mustang when I shifted gears, with the clutch in, the RPM
actually went up before hitting the next gear. I stopped at a
stop sign and at a dead stop the RPM went up to 2200 and wouldn't come
down. Stopped at another stop sign, and the same thing. Shut it off,
restarted and it was fine....

I have an '87 Mustang that I put less than 1000 miles on per year. I

'87 water leak question by

Due to a few projects inside the garage, I had to park my '87 GT in the
driveway. When it rains the passenger rear floor gets very damp and to a
lesser extent the passenger front. It has a sunroof that I recently checked
for leaks and it's good to go as far as the seals are concerned. I know...

'88 Convertible Sunvisors by

I own a 1988 LX 5.0 convertible with a broken passenger sunvisor. It
froze up and wouldn't raise or lower and jammed half way down where it
would grab you right in the forehead in a crash.
I ordered a new pair from Sacramento Mustang but I'm not quite sure
how to install them properly. After...

Hi
On my '89 2dr hatchback there are these metal trim moldings on the
outside top of both doors. On mine there used to be some sort of black
plastic
finish on them. This plastic has deteriorated and I peeled it off on the
worst side. What is left looks to be a standard aluminum trim that I...
