I'm looking for general information about restoring the car to showroom like condition with some modification...

Here are the symptons: Ticking noise started low and then grew louder and louder until it was very loud. Sounds like something in the valve train is slapping around pretty bad, car seems to run OK otherwise, although I shut it down as soon as I was able. Meanwhile, oil presure gauge not...

Anyone know who to remove the upper bolt on the starter on an 88 Mustang GT (auto, convertible if that matters)? Can't seem to get any wrench or combo of sockets and extensions on it so that I can swing the wrench or the ratchet. Tried using long extensions and coming out the front, but the...

This may be similar to some things that were posted recently, but I'll go ahead and ask anyways.... Had the 89 Mustang (Automatic) out today and had something odd happen. Every time I approached a stoplight and hit the brakes to gently slow down, the engine would die very quietly around 5 mph....

The Drivers side front window does not want to go down. I'd rather not tear the door apart, if it's just the switch, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of the switch panel. Is there a wiring diagram out there anywhere? Neither the Chiltons, nor the Haynes manuals cover it.
