If yours is like mine, the TV bushing is broken. Throw one on and drive it for another 100,000km. You might have caught it early enough.

If OD is slipping still, just run it in D. The drum the OD...

If the coolant temp sensor or the oil pressure sensor grounds due to faulty wiring and/or a faulty sensor, the light will turn on. By what you are describing, that sounds like your issue.

A steady...

Other than the frame, those *could* all be fairly easily/cheap fixes. I'd have the shop show you what they found.

Tripminder harness has those funky clear covers in that location for certain years.

May or may not help, but doesn't RockAuto ship to Canada? They list a Dorman replacement for $0.29 each in packs of 20....

Couple of possibilities I can think of. Either the radiator was weak, the pressure cap malfunctioned, or the vent tube was stopped up.

I experienced the latter and it wouldn't let the cap vent....

I'm seeing the glass only listed as 1W7Z17K707AA.

EBay has an OEM...

Pretty nice panels. I need to do rockers on my 88 but it's beyond what I can fab.

Just when I think this car can't get any better, it does. Very nice work as usual.

Evaporust saved the rear seat latch. It works now.

Replaced all the o-rings on the A/C system. Still had a leak. Cleaned the connections exceptionally well and determined the valve cores were...

What derby money up there now? That seems close. Looks like a decent ride.

Diamond Jubilee was 1978 here in the US. I guess a year later in Canada since Google tells me they started in 1904...

Sometimes you can't avoid the little (or big) beasts. Still sucks. Driving from dusk to dawn seems like a game of roulette.

You'll get it back into shape.

You could just drop the window into the door but it needs to off the guides and channels so you can move it around.

The window channel up/down (the metal thing that separates the two windows and...

I'm guessing it's a similar setup on the exhaust manifolds as my V10. All the V10 peeps cry when they have to replace them. Lots of horror stories of welding on nuts, stud extractors, and drilling...

"I have tried pumping them up and holding them but the rear brakes spin freely but the fronts lock up and only release when I crack the bleeder screws"

So the back is getting nothing and the front...

I've had an aluminum radiator in the 88 since I bought it and haven't had any problems without grounding.

Wouldn't hurt to check it. IIRC measure volts between the negative post and the coolant...

Mine had some kind of primer/sealer with some body color overspray.

I'm going to have to review the progress over the years. I didn't realize this one had been in the works that long. How's it feel to be pretty close to done? And driving it?

A ton of it stays in the heater core and block, even if nothing else comes out of the radiator.

I've never had a problem with these taking coolant. I can usually get 80%+ of what came out back...

My 82 had that mess. It was a 302 VV car. Maybe it's a VV thing if you all don't see it on 2150 cars?

Not many pics of that car in my files but here's one. ...

Accumulator is here.

Haven't installed it yet because I seem to have lost some vacuum per the gauge. I will clean those o-ring connections the best I can and see if that helps. If not, I may be...

The door glass and separator bar needs to come out, or drop down in the door. The 1/4 glass then comes out pretty easily with the weatherstrip intact just by pulling on it.

When I did mine, I...

I will try to clean it a little more.

New accumulator is due in tomorrow, so that will fix one of them.

Of course new hoses would fix the majority of this but I'm going to give it a shot on...

Putting new o-rings in the 90 A/C system.

System is clean inside but has what looks like corrosion of the metal where the o-rings touch. See pic for a better idea of what I am trying to say.

Packman - There is no "just a Crown Vic"!

Honestly, I like this car OK but I'd rather have my 88 wagon in this condition and cruise in it.

A Panther probably won't get as much respect at a...
