Lounge / So lets catch up
I am looking to find the right home for my fox.  It's in the ad section of this website.  Would make a good project as ground effects are there.  Window dew wipes need replaced and front window seal.  A little front end work and she'll be golden.  Some surface rust but not terrible.  I'd like her to be indoors this winter.  I will bring it home Saturday to columbus ohio.  Askin 2000 cause of HCI, 5 speed, exhaust, A9L computer, fuel injected, mass air, 24 lb injectors. No interior needs complete recover.  All parts are there.  chipped!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!eleven!!

Body/Appearance/Interior / 84 Tbird window motors
To remove the motor only drill 3 holes where there are indentations in the door skin.  Those are directly lined up with the bolts on the window motor.  Drill it big enough to get a 1/4 inch extension in there and then put the extension through the hole and reach in and put on the socket.  Should be a 10mm.

Misc Tech / washer fluid bottles
I have the style that is mounted in the fender.  Car was originally an 84, 2.3 TC.  I found one on e-bay that was listed as a mustang one and it was an exact match.

Suspension/Steering / '83 upgraded to 87-88 TC front spindles ended up with extreme positive camber
I did the 11 inch brake conversion on my 84.  I ended up with extreme camber also.  I ended up ordering MM caster camber plates and was able to get it aligned.  I however believe the 11 inch conversion isn't meant to be because I now notice a lot of sway/sawing on the highway.

this is the thread I made about my experience.

Some don't call it rust they call it patina.  Good luck with the repairs!

Body/Appearance/Interior / Drivers Door Dew Wipes
The steele rubber link shows these dimensions.  Those are not dew wipes at all but instead the piece that mounts on the door itself by the upper a-frame.  dew wipes are not available for purchuse anymore.

Body/Appearance/Interior / Drivers Door Dew Wipes
No one has really addressed this issue.  I called the company that use to make them for the Lincoln Mark VII and they could not verify if they ever did make them and didn't sound like they would be willing to make more.  The company was called Fairchild http://www.automotivefairchild.com/ You're most likely going to have to fabricate your own or try to locate a parts car with good dew wipes, Lincoln Mark VII or T-bird/Cougar.

edit:  If someone has the belt weatherstrips off for measuring we could try to match it up to this page. http://afproducts.automotivefairchild.com/viewitems/standard-weatherstrip-trim-seal-products/belt-weatherstrips?

Quote from: CoogarXR;455253
Why are you selling it? You've had that car forever!

I have no garage/room to work on it.  Also I'm trying to gather up funds to buy a trailer to live in.  I won't be posting it on craigslist or anything, I'm having serious doubts I'll sell it because I love her so much.  (Her name is Emily.)

Body/Appearance/Interior / new door weather strip?
You have vent windows right?  Then your options are Topaz, thunderbird, cougar, or lincoln dew wipes.  No one makes them new so  you'll have to source boneyards for some that aren't tore up.
