Okay...got the stang back from ACEs and now I got all my windows..lol

good thing is that window works.  So the only window not working right now is the drivers side back window.  when I hit the power switch, there is a clicking noise, but the window doesn't go down.  gotta take a look at that.  Anyone migh know what that might be??

Also worked the top down as well...AWESOME!!  There isn't enough power to retract it back, but I think it is a new pump, but I think it may need fluid...anyone know what kind I need for the pump?

On Monday going check the A/C compressor and system to see if there are leaks and what not...so that is on the list next...

Progress! Thought they'd check for proper operation of all your car's windows? Maybe the window has the infamous worn plastic bushings inside the gear issue. If that's the case, sounds like a PITA to yank the quarter windows & motors out of 'verts from what I heard.
As for the fluid, you better sit down - because the system uses good old automatic transmission fluid! If the hoses are new, may as well go with something like Royal Purple or other synthetic ATF. If the hoses are not new, they should be replaced since they tend to accumulate junk inside. Hope that is the only thing and the cylinders are still in good shape.

Hey Yeah...

when I got the stang...in the trunk had ATF fluid...lol!!!  I'll go look into that tomorrow...

Yes...there is a window in there...lol!!!!  Brand spankin new..


Deck fixed with working speakers..

Still debating if I should leave her at a 2in drop or go with an Eiback pro kit to raise her up a bit?  I want to get 17's soon....don't know if it would sit the same or not??? I don't know..

Solid updates!

For comparison, I have sportline springs (2 inch) and 17X8 cobra rims. Hopefully that helps.

[hyperstang00]

Thanks Jeffy...

What size tires you running?  I was thinking 17x8 black ones, but not sure on the tire size with the 2 inch drop...

yup I built the trans for that car, it also belonged to my cousin, I was upset that he sold it with that trans. when he bought the car, it was very nice, he removed the luggage rack on the trunk lid, when he ordered the cat-back from Brothers Performance they were suppose to send a Magnaflow system, but for some reason they sent the flowmaster system, they were notified and they sent a some MSD wires to compensate for the price hehe. we also lowered the car and installed camber plates, off road h-pipe, a cobra r/svo hood, petrol wheels, a full sound system, headers, and the 5 lug conversion. when he sold it, he didnt know the guy who bought it was supposedly a dealer and stripped it of the hood, wheels, and some of the sound system.  I built the trans with a lot of mods, and the convertor is also built and has a stall, not a very high stall, but more than stock, as the convertor from the factory already have a mild stall. I went mild on the shift kit only because his wife also used the car but didnt want any tire chirping or neck snapping shifts. like I said i'm intrested in the trans should you decide to sell it one day (hopefully cheap hehe). glad that its being worked on  by someone who appreciates it.

[hyperstang00]

wow...that is good to hear about the trans.  Mike did mention that it was worked on...

I must say though...it is really fun to drive and I really don't mind it being an auto....lol!!!

When the trans is at that level, it does make a difference and make it fun...what's nice about the way that KaRabaU built it is that you can make a mild engine combo, keep the driveability, and make actually have a cruiser. Forced induction can be added to up the fun factor and yet you can cruise with no problems. I take it that the ring and pinion are OEM.

Got the A/C to work.....well..it's holding a charge with no signs of leakage..so well see.  I had the air con on all day today and nothing but cold air..so cross fingers.

Got the hood leveled up as best as could.  The car aint really straight..lol!!!  But she looks a lot better than before.  Also got to pry up the firewall area where looks like something crashed into the firewall.  with the help of some friends and pry bars, 2x4's and a ford car jack...yes...a car jack, we were able to get the bent back wall area below the windshield wipers a lot more straight than what it was...so it was a very busy day..

Just found out that the rear window that go replaced now doesn't go down and now that side is clicking...anyone know what it might be?  I hear the motor working...but looks like the window might have slipped off of something??  if anyone might know..some info would be good..

Also...anyone know how to fill up the hydro pump for the vert top?  there is a rubber stopper on the bottom of the pump, not sure where or how to fill the pump...

any help would be good..thanks
