My new toy (temporarily)

[phreakness]

Well I'm helping out a friend with his son's new car. He's got learners permit and I'm cleaning up the car and getting some things fixed

Red on tan with 100k. It was well taken care of with a stack of service records.

Things I need to take care of.
Headlights: their toast, super dim and cloudy. owner wants OEM bulbs (my hook up will be getting a PM soon)
Ashtray door. anyone got one laying around?
Fuel door release button. I hope its just pushed down, if not anyone got a spare?
Serpentine belt:
door pin / door ajar fix (got the part just lazy)
wash, wax, polish, engine detail, etc.

Not bad for a 16 year olds first car. I wish I had that.

BTW the front sags in the front after sitting for about 3 days in the driveway. whats the fix for that (hopefully cheap I've got 400 for brakes and rotors, interior parts and OEM lights) hard to swap? anyway of testing my old bags

I'm sure you don't want to hear this, but it sounds like air struts leaking.

Replace the bags. Just under $400 each from Max.

I call the seat heaters when he wrecks it.

I have a good set of bags i pulled from my 97. They held up good. PM me if interested. That color combo looks nice.

Makes me glad that my Torreador red car has a black interior. I second the fact that he is going to want to race people in it.

Fuel door release button. I hope its just pushed down, if not anyone got a spare?

for the fuel door button, it either needs the spring inside or it might need the entire switch, mine snapped the lock tabs off and shot out the button and the spring, i reassembled it but the button wouldn't stay in. the switches are still available from ford, or at least they were a couple years ago

He's a really good kid he's never been in an ounce of trouble kinda nerdy but loves the car. His bother on the other hand is a bad boy that got caught trying to install a NOS system in his 98 mustang GT. he's the one were betting on screwing up.

Yep, so was I and I still drove like a jackass and wrecked my first car (not totalled, but still.) And a 98 GT still has NPI heads... it NEEDS NOS or some kind of forced induction
