I came across this site which says it can repair electro-chromatic mirrors for $99. Considering that the Ford replacements for the DS mirror are long gone and sold for over $400 even when you could get them, this is pretty cool and a whole lot better than slapping one of those cheesy stick-on...

A little background... Car's been in storage since last year after the great flood. Been working on it as time allows. Last year I put in 4.10s with the help of Beerdog. I had a complete set of ebay ABS sensors, so I figured I'd replace the rears when we reinstalled the diff, mostly just to...

So I got Noah's Mark on the road for the first time in a year. Not a very successful post-refit maiden voyage. I have at least one bad ABS sensor and a #4 cylinder misfire. I've got a good idea about the ABS sensor, as I swapped in some "newer" ebay sensors when we swapped the pumpkin last year...

I'm bummed that I didn't get to attend the festivities in Michigan, but my weekend wasn't a total loss. I've been meaning to go to this for years.

I can't sleep, so... These are parts from my aborted Koni conversion. I decided to go with new Ford bags instead and sell off the Konis. Yes, the Konis are long gone. These were bought from Jamie a few years ago as complete units, but I took them apart to do the Koni conversion. He said they...

FYI it is indeed possible to break down the seat tracks to almost their most basic components and reassemble them using simple tools. I had my old (flooded) seat track over at Trixe's and Beerdog's this afternoon and decided to take a few pieces off in order to have it soda blasted to get rid...

I'm working the feverishly to get the (M)Ark back together for the HRPT. I was having serious doubts as late as yesterday, but things are looking up today. Only have to get the wiper motor, cowl and hood reinstalled. Oh yeah, and the interior. :eek-large: Basically I'm just trying to channel...

I realize this isn't interesting at all to anyone, but I'm easily amused I guess. So go easy on me. When I had the car at Jeremi's way back in August of 2011 to redo the rear of the car, we removed the completely rotted out emission tray and bracket. I only had a powdercoated tray, but no...

Some of you may have seen this elsewhere, so sorry for the copy-paste. I'm just lazy. I just got these pieces back yesterday from a local shop. Damn place took two months to get them done. Their excuse was that they were in the process of moving, which was true, but they told me three weeks due...

I figured I'd start a (hopefully short) thread about the progress of the second episode of God's wrath on my car (or just me). Before pics from the glove box: You can see in this one where the water line got up to.

Got the car out of storage after having not driven it hardly at all for a year. Was going to bring it over to Mike and Sharon's this week to finally reinstall the interior, but every day was crappy, with storms and rain. Last night we had the mother of all rains and I come out to this...

I got almost zero reaction to this on Facebook but I think it's the funniest thing I've watched in years. Maybe I'm just way too twisted for mere mortals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKffm2uI4dk

While everyone was watching for the giant asteroid to pass harmlessly by Earth today, another completely unrelated one burns up over Russia today and causes widespread damage. Montage of the meteor burning up overhead taken from the ubiquitous Russian dash cams. It actually outshines the sun...

That is all.

This may get big. Even Homeland Security is in panic mode over this. http://www.zdnet.com/homeland-security-warns-to-disable-java-amid-zero-day-flaw-7000009713/ At the very least, you should disable Java in your browser. Below is an older article, but shows how to disable Java from your...
