Anybody help me out? Neighbor just bought a used one and has no remote or trunk key - any help appreciated.

I just purchased an absolutely mint 1981 TC with 80 k miles and knew the original Wixom assembly team leader/owner who passed last year. I'm curious about production data - also this car has a very unique oversize ASC sunroof - may have been dealer installed but it is magnificent (all...

We need an honorable chinaman/chinaperson to make velly velly inexpensive headrights for our cars. I've put out some feelers - gotta be cheaper then that since some low volume mopeds have HIGHER QUALITY MOLDED LIGHTS then we do.

I want to say that the gentleman who so obviously was misinterpreted as being a rude person has become a fast and respected acquaintance. I retract everything I said, except of course, the very real truth about risk regarding claiming "Mafiosa" anything in the presence of my business partner...

I will however, say this, in all seriousness. . 1. Flaming is fun to a point - I apologize for reacting so boldly but the thoughts did have some humor - and I hope the person I flamed accepts my apology and respects that my mind has some interesting dusty corners where thoughts molder and...

Indeed, Blue on Blue, I am aware I was responding to his reply to a valuable bit of input from earlier. Knowing as I do that anyone with a mind sharp enough to make such a good "race car" suggestion would not waste the time to repond, I took up the task as the thread originator. I simply hope...

Oh hell - just so he can't modify it I'll quote the idiot. Now I gotta burn this monitor. I bet when you drink you blow chunks. I bet your dog is named chunks. (heh) :p

Ahemm. Some fool I won't give the courtesy or honor of even NAMING or quoting told a genuine concerned fellow mk8 owner to STFU. If you wish to add to the mockery I recommend dog the rest of his days you might scroll up a coupla posts. I'm a Kentucky Colonel sir, own a white suit, and thus...

... perhaps 3 weeks of genuine effort is not coming to fruition. Perhaps this message thread from Rich to me to Rich will explain - the subject is finding a cheapo chinese reproduction headlight plant who will agree to mold replacement high failure rate headlights for our oem high failure...

hmmmmm and What pray tell IS a cam switch? Hmmmmm? (snerkle) *(quick google search) "cam switch"

A friend was driving my 1994 mark and on one of these -10 degree days decided it would be wise to attempt to not only start the car that cold, but then cycle the windshield wipers to free them from their iced-in-place position. Net result is the wipers don't park - stay either straight up or...

But will they FIX my cruise? My cruise is inop - I have a new *(used) in-fender control head and cable assy.... but will Ford buy me a new one now?

...I used to work at Ford in Parts and Service engineering. True story - in 1986 during the fuel-spewing debacle that affected all commercial vehicles, ESPECIALLY ambulances, an ambulance was called to respond to an accident in tennessee.... ...a 1982 Ford F150 (known spongy brakes due to...

Sweet. Now I wish someone would photoshop these: http://www.thecustomwheelshop.com/cart/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=53

Odd that they replaced the air suspension - I'd think the system should have been upgraded instead - look at the ridiculous ride height! I wonder if the windows still roll down - that's an issue with a lot of armored limos - but they don't have to pay tolls or buy coffee from the rear.

Three things: 1. Anyone ever try redying the steering wheel on a tan or grey wheel with any success or failure? Mine is discolored and icky. 2. There is a carbon fiber/wood/chrome shifter being offered on ebay as a mark viii replacement - pretty custom and neat - opinions? 3...

Thanks - good advice and I will save the info on pump rebuilds.

...the factory unidirectionals in chrome look similar - that's the wheel I've got now.... looking to go aftermarket or upgrade to the later 'conti wheel I pictured as to me it is a cleaner look.... what wheel is that on your gen 1? What size do you recommend when upgrading?

For the grill and an air pump assembly (used) I'd try car-part.com - it's a wholesale only site that lists inventories from thousands of wrecking yards.... grills are rare and expensive and often break when removing them - tell the yard to be extra careful. Radios and air pumps are very...

We could always throat down the air outlet to restrict flow rate.... also the addition of a storage tank would almost completely eliminate gradual leakdown issues.... trunk mount both perhaps and plumb to the original mounting location with some nifty aftermarket line or hose.....hmmmmmm...
