Pictures this time. Some are not very good because it was dark Friday night when I took those.

Started working on replacing parts on Friday evening while spending the weekend at the in-laws place....

No pictures, I'll upload after I get home (Saturday night or Sunday), but it's starting to look better. Staying the night in Memphis, MI and got a head start since the original plan was to start...

Found a video on installing torsion bars on a '67-'70 Cougar. Not exactly the same, but close enough that the basics apply.

Whitetail (white-tailed) deer, is what we have around here. We have moose up north in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I spent my college years. (Many other places in the US also have moose, but...

In my case, 2 '91 MGMs behave very differently. The Ice Car will fly all the way open. The Scab sometimes I'll pop the trunk and forget I did. I know there are a few adjustment settings but i've...

So far I'm about $150 into the repair effort. Dave, unfortunately, this car actually was totaled a year or two before I got it. The history says left front damage and I can tell that the left fender...

:nono::arg::mad:

Fucking deer! Only good for eating.

I grew up in the middle of nowhere, where herds of deer roam and I've never in my life hit a deer until last night. I've had plenty of close...

Glad that worked out for the TC bolts. I've pulled and replaced a few AODs, but didn't know any of the tricks the first time. Now I have my own "special tool kit" lol. A spare slip yolk to keep from...

Front doors should be the same.
It's the rear doors that are different. Rear wagon doors are less angled on the backside from bottom of the window to the top.

You can swap bumpers, but the rear would at least look weird because the wagon rear bumper is shaped different along the top (step to get in the rear). Front is the same, although some wagons may...

20th works for me.


No need to apologize, this thread sums up how 2022 has been for me so far. I haven't done much of anything that I've wanted to this year. Also this is kind of how our planning...

As long as someone hasn't swapped it, you should have 10". Police and wagons had 11".

25 years in Michigan. My '98 will be considered a classic next year. Will be the first time every vehicle I own will be a classic. Although not the first time every vehicle I have on the road is a...

An image to help explain what I mean.
Put the ratchet and socket on nut 1 in the picture.
As you try to loosen that nut, the TC will want to spin counter clockwise.
Once the socket reaches the top...

Need to rotate the engine to get each nut off the torque converter? I just put my ratchet and socket on one TC nut and spin it until two nuts are accessible. Remove one nut then spin again with the...

Oh, the flying M wasn't used on the pre-'88 models was it? In that case it wouldn't make sense to go out of your way to get a set of Mountaineer caps since the logo wouldn't match anything on the...

If you decide you don't want to stick with the Ford centers:

'98-ish Mountaineer centers will fit and look good, imo, with steel wheels. The right collared lug nuts and massaging of the dust cap...

Recently discussed in Arquemann's Maisa RR thread, some styles of box panther seats do sit you lower. Not sure how much lower but maybe an inch, can't be much more than that.

Oh, the search continues then, LOL.

Although this weekend works for me it would be be short notice for those who need to make arrangements to make it work.

If there is interest in a JY run this weekend, there is a large item at PG 8...

At the rate I've been getting anything done this year... we'll see if I get around to that washing that I've been meaning to do.

This weekend or next (weekend of 23rd, 30th) I can make work. The...

I always struggle getting that disconnected. I've always been able to reuse the bushing but it would be easy to mangle depending on the separation method. I don't quite remember how I did it. Phil's...

A question I would be interested in hearing suggestions on as well.
I used some glue but don't remember what I used. Super glue might react weird with the materials involved. If its a trace where...

+1, traces are easy to follow. Look for traces that have lifted away at the connector. If the cluster has been out previously, it's a possibility.

If you have a multimeter, check for continuity...

Only took me a month, but since I mostly work from home I didn't need to drive much. Waiting on the alignment to be done now.
