Sprinkle 1/2 cup over the 'Bird once a week to resolve or prevent any malfunctions. Also, eat 1/2 cup once a week to avoid doing stupid things.
'Works for me!
Rebuilt the power window motor in the driver’s door of my’75. Working like a charm now.
I long for the day I could repair 90% of my car's ills with a screw driver and a pair of pliers.
Give me back my 1973 Pinto so I can drive it more than repair it. Four-speed, of course.
Detailed the tbird yesterday (minus new wax) the sand top cleaned up really well this year. I was a bit worried as it had several more black fold lines, but they all came out. It definitely doesn’t look like new, but for almost 20 yrs old - not bad. This morning going in for an oil change. Next a new coat of wax and it’ll be ready to go. Need to think up a road trip.
Nice wagon Robert. I also had a '75. Dark maroon and no side trim. Took out the 4 cylinder and replaced it with a v6 automatic. I enjoyed driving it also, but it was a first car for my 16 year old son.
Replaced the aging and half-failing LED bulbs in my "supplemental parking lights" with fresh LEDs.
These are wired to be on as DRLs whenever the car is on.
I also replaced the headlight bulbs with Philips Crystalvision Platinum "whiter" halogens. Not as white as LED, but not jarringly yellow either.
Had the radio replaced today (the old one was failing and causing a parasitic loss and dead battery problem).
New one is Pioneer with bluetooth, backup camera, single CD/DVD, and Android Auto.
I had to paint the trim insert panel myself to match the gold colour of the sand interior package, but I got it pretty darn close.
