Lounge / Car value & insurance questions.
Hey everyone, I'm shopping for insurance that will also cover theft of the vehicle.  I am trying to get an idea of how this works and how much money the value of the car is at.  Kelly Blue Book only goes to 1994 so I couldn't look up my car.  I only have liability right now and the fear that someone will take my money pit and I be screwed is to much. 

Any recommendations on how to go about this?  The car is a 84 Turbo Coupe with a 5.0L H/C/I and a T5.  I have replaced thousands of dollars of parts so I want to know how I can recoupe that if it is stolen.  How do insurance companies determine replacement.  I am not worried about covering the mods, If I can get coverage that will get me another 83-86 with a 2.3 Turbo I would be happy. 

Anyway, tips would help me so much.  This is a big subject with a lot of confusing wording.

User Rides / You may remember this 84 T-Bird.
Both these cars were purchased from this forum.  However I was in the process of losing my house so I had to combine cars in order to make 1 good running vehicle instead of 2 project cars.  Here is the results.

Suspension/Steering / What did I do wrong... Spring question.
Just redid the front end.  New rack, balljoints, tie rods, etc....  I put new springs in.  99 Mustang Gt front springs.  Moog Part #8594.  383 rate.  78-04 Ford Fox body. 

I was under the impression from searching this forum that SN95 springs would lower my car about an inch.  However it is on the ground and I am 4x4'n. 3 1/2 inches between fender and tire.  This is higher than the stock springs that were on it.  The car is an 84 with snowflakes on it.  Does my car have to be an 87/88 to use SN95 springs? 

I have to redo it, I won't be able to live with this.  What springs will bring me down around 2 inch gap?  Obviously I don't know how to search because I did and screwed everything up.

Yup, my driver side seat belt broke (metal part came off the belt).  I'm looking for Tan.  HOWEVER, if you have a passenger side wiper arm and any color belt I would consider buying both.  I need a belt even if it means using a different color one until I find a tan one.
