Hi Steve, whereabouts in NZ are you? I am in Wellington and nearly finished with the body work on my 72 vert and maybe able to help. Send me a PM it maybe easier to ring?

I'm wondering if anybody has installed the TMI 1-Piece Headliner yet? http://www.tmiproducts.com/mustang/browse-by-vehicle/classic-1964-1973/1971-73/1971-73-mustang-sportsroof-1-piece-headliner-corinthian-vinyl.html Apparently this upgrade gives an extra couple of inches in headroom plus can...

kevken1959 I had a similar "frustrating" experience restoring my 71 Boss. To a certain extent where "professional" services were used it took away some of the fun and shine from the project. I'm having more fun restoring my 72 vert myself which in many ways I have the previous experience to...

Hi Chet, I welded in some 1" steel bar at the beginning mainly as I needed to get the vehicle towed a few times (sand blasting, shifting premises). I didn't want the tow truck pulley to stretch the car without the doors on etc so added this bracing for good measure. I have replaced the floor...

Hopefully the image helps...

After rebuilding my power steering pump some time back without thinking about it I used some generic power steering fluid and it squealed and acted like you said yours did! Read here and on other places to use "ATF Type F" fluid. I drained what I had put in and used the type F and virtually no...

I had good results using aluminium foil - the stuff used in the kitchen. Just tear a strip off, place it in water for a few seconds then very gently rub the aluminium foil against the chrome. Repeat as necessary. No need to rub hard. Works well with minor pitting. Then wax when finished. Mine...

I bought a set of these moldings some time back. Very happy with the fit. My original set had been dented and generally worn out - eventually I will repair these though. If I recall no fasteners arrived so I used some ford trim molding clips (whatever they are called hopefully the attachment...

I recently did this job. I purchased the tool mentioned above from West Coast Cougar and could not get it to work with my car (fastback body with the rear fold down seat). It may work on other body shapes and with out the fold down seat option. For me the purchase of this tool was a waste of...

I am looking to use these guys: http://vacuumorna-metal.com/content/restoration I think this is the same place that "bkdunha" mentions. I asked them for a quote last week and the price for each part restored was less than what the reproduction parts cost. They will repair broken parts such as...

I recently did this also. Best photo I could find was taken before the lockout rod was connected I never took any photos after this image. I recall the lockout rod is connected using the same stud/fasteners as what connects the shifter rods to the Hurst shifter assembly. Hopefully the picture is...

Asking those that have driven both the fastback and coupe shapes 1) is the head height the same/similar? 2) is the visibility better in the coupe? Wondering how the two styles compare to drive...

What are the three plugs in the engine bay by the firewall used for? I see the 4 pin is for the neutral safety switch The 3 pin is for the engine feed I'm guessing one of the plugs is for the light in the auto transmission shifter housing (not sure which one though). Maybe one of these is...

I did clean the other separator before installing it. I managed to find another rubber ring to replace the original. I cleaned up the "rusty" metal washer/ring also. The foam piece is only about the size of the center hole. When I cleaned it out about a tablespoon of dust with a strong petrol...

Does anyone know what the foam type material is inside the fuel vapor separator that sits atop the fuel tank? I have found that if I install the unit without the foam when walking up to the car you can notice a petrol smell around the car. The other unit with the foam (and cleaned up since...

I installed a set of the repro plastic interior quarter panels in my Mach 1 last year. They have no mounting holes pre-drilled so you have to figure that out which adds to the fun installing them! (do a test fit before painting if reqd). They don't look as solid as the originals and the...

I am in the process of refurbishing my steering column and I cannot recall which way the firewall seal for a manual transmission goes? I've had a look through the shop manuals/online/etc but not able to find a picture that clearly shows this. I've attached a picture of what I have loosely...

Last week I upgraded my factory setup drum brakes front/rear with no brake booster to discs front/rear and added a booster. Best upgrade yet - the difference is between hot and cold. When I bought this car the first I thing I purchased was this booster...

Maybe this would work: http://semomustang.com/products/1970-1973-hurst-back-up-switch-harness-boss-302-428-cobra-jet-351c-mach-1

That's great Stanglover those photos are useful. The block is stamped D0AE-L date code 0L16. The engine was pulled from a 73 Mach 1 though not original to that car. It had a Toploader connected to it but no tag was on it or any useful information externally to say what it is. Many of the parts...
