    C4 Issue

    Hi Darrell, Sorry to hear of your C4 slipping issue. Great help and advice from the Guys above. I cannot give good tech advice here, as i don't know a lot of detailed technical matters with transmissions. However, i can pass onto you my personal recent C4 problem i had, and the story i went...

    Sequential tail lights?

    Hi there, As i understand, there have been two major player types in the sequential tail light scene over the years. The first type to arrive on the scene was the plug and play two light per left/right side sequential system. As we all know, our '71 to '73 rear lights are divided into three...

    Will 15x8 Repop magnum 500s fit on all four corners of our cars?

    Based on my own personal experience, i went for the Wheel Vintiques 54 Series Magnum 500 rims. (see my link below) These rims fit the bill for me and i would give them the thumbs up. The chrome finish on them is not premium, but satisfactory. I have had one or two minor issues with the finish...

    Will 15x8 Repop magnum 500s fit on all four corners of our cars?

    Hi Roger, Interesting feedback on the 245/60 front tires for you. I have never had any rubbing issues with my front set up at all, and i have professionally had my lowered front end for around 8 years. Why you would have issues there is a mystery to me. Do you know what back spacing you are...

    Will 15x8 Repop magnum 500s fit on all four corners of our cars?

    Hi tpj, Like the guys have said above, i run 245/60 s on a 8 x 15 Magnum rim up front and they are fantastic for all 'round fit/ looks/ road handling etc. You won't go wrong with that setup. Make sure you select a back spacing of 4 1/2 inches on these rims. Avoid the 255 rubber option for the...

    Right side mirror glass

Just peel and stick using heavy duty indoor/outdoor double sided tape, on the existing mirror glass,and your ready to go. I also came up with...

    WHY? are 71-73 stangs so big?

    Hi Rod, Had to jump in on this one and have a rant. Thanks for putting this one up for attention. It's been kicked around the Forum over the years from time to time, and always gets a reaction. Speaking for my self, i have had a gut full of negative critisism that has come from many different...

    $20k-$30k for a paint job?

    Hi, Interesting story. It backs up with what i've been putting forward above. My sympathies. Canada like Australia gets hammered on labor charges, with a high cost of living to go with it. Sounds like you wanted a top shelf quality respray. You should have got one for that outlay, and i hope you...

    $20k-$30k for a paint job?

    Hi, Going piecemeal with any panel/paint shop is bound to save you or anyone money. How much? That depends on two things. How much work you decide to take on yourself in proportion to how much work the shop ends up doing, and if you can find a quality/ honest shop that will let you play the...

    $20k-$30k for a paint job?

    Hi shanehrrr; Good question. I recommend taking your car as is to get all your quotes. To help explain, my approach would be this. The best way for anyone to approach getting a respray done, is to first up, have the cars overall paint and panel condition looked at and assessed by yourself, or...

    $20k-$30k for a paint job?

    Hi Nightbeacon, Having been a pro auto spray painter for 43 years straight, i can shine some light into this age old, worn topic of paint respray costings. First up, let me make some key points that are a reality. Spray painting and the panel beating of cars in general terms has always been an...

    Power Mirror Tutorial by Austin Vert - Parts 5 to 10

    Hi mrgmhale, Thanks for reaching out with your kind concern and backup plans to protect my Forum content over the years. First up, i am guilty of not backing up my direct Forum input write ups over the years. Stupid me. In my naivety, i assumed that the people associated with any major upgrades...

    Power Mirror Tutorial by Austin Vert - Parts 5 to 10

    Thanks very much Michael, Yeah, i spent around 2 years on the whole project, which covered a lot of R&D, then actually making the mirrors from start to finish, and then doing an extensive write up for the Forum. The whole project set me back around the $2,000.00 Au mark all up. So, yes, it was...

    Hi there, As i mentioned above, i wrote a tutorial on my rear trunk lid setup going back several years ago, but sadly that tutorial disappeared from the Forum archives some time ago i discovered, when newer upgraded versions of the Forum were progressively introduced over the last four or so...
