I've seen that one and a lighter blue with gold wheels. So many I'd like to buy, but I have car parts and such I need to buy....
Hats off to you guys who have a lot more patience with stuff like this than I do. As I aged, my patience waned. When I was younger, I could just about tackle anything with my cars.

Oh...i'm starting to get there.
I agree. Working on them seems like so much work as I get older. Every car has something that needs fixing, or multiple things. But lately I just say screw it and drive. It's normally tedious stuff.I'm at the point now where I just enjoy driving Mustangs vs working on them. My fox has sat under the cover all winter barely getting touched, while i did some updates ot my '00 GT convertible to prepare it for cruising this summer. That should tell you which vehicle I'm looking forward to driving.
I'm getting the urge to maybe sell it (the '00 GT)and get myself a '15+ 6-spd GT convertible and just leave it stock and cruise.
Will never sell the Fox, but I admit it's starting to turn into "garage art" that I just like to admire, but rarely drive.
I watched some videos on those rear 1/4's.... Makes me never want to lower them again!On your vert, just hope you dont have to mess with the quarter windows....... been there...
On fixing the door speaker panel. I done several now. If you get the door panel off, you will see they are simply melted to hold in place. It breaks. So if the lug is still there, you can use a screw into the plastic. If the whole lug has broken off, Ive epoxied a Tee Nut to the grill, and then you have something for a machine screw to thread into.

Interesting!I totally get what you guys are saying about getting older and working on cars. I recently pulled my T5 to replace the original bearing retainer that was leading to a really stiff clutch pedal. Working on a car when you are 50 is definitely different compared to being 25. There are obviously physical things, but I just don't have free time that I had back in the day and projects take MUCH longer.
Back to my stiff clutch pedal story. I replaced the bearing retainer with a Ford Performance steel version, the pedal was improved but not to my liking. My set up is a Centerforce clutch, MM quadrant/FWA/cable and I also put in a fresh pivot stud/clutch fork/TO bearing (all Ford pieces). I said WTH, why not try the OEM clutch cable with 200K miles on it. I took off the rubber isolator so it would fit on my FWA and I also sprayed the crap out of it with WD-40 white lithium grease. I sprayed it until it came out the other end of the cable and let sit overnight for the grease to solidify. I then installed it and the clutch pedal is butter smooth with much less effort. Not sure if I got a bad MM cable, it was routed and adjusted correctly. I once read that stiff clutch pedals are almost 90% cable related, I'm a believer now.
