Does anybody have an idea what size / thread type the screws that hold the license plate on for the rear? Finally re registered the car after 7 years and don't have the screws anymore. I tried m6 x 1 but they were too big. If all else fails I'll park outside the hardware store and try every...

Hi, I have 88 NA that I haven't driven in a couple of years. It has been stored in my garage and had NO cold start / engine idle issues in the past. I have gotten the itch to drive it again but getting it to start from a cold start is tougher to start than my dads 1929 Model A Ford. Below is...

I can't stand to look at the rear trim anymore and was wondering what was the cheapest price people have had to pay for new trim and where from. Donor cars trim around here is as bad as mine is if not worse. I would rather just pay for new ones and not have to worry about it for another 20...

Hi, I need some help finding a part number for a clip that keeps the ebrake cable from pulling itself out of the dust cover. I'll try to describe it a little better. It is a little piece of steel (3/4 inch long) that goes around the end of the cable and has little tabs that expand out like a...

Hi, I have never removed my lower control arms before, and cannot get the two bolts to come out. I broke the nuts loose but the bolts don't want to turn, and taking a brass hammer to the end of the bolt (nut on to protect the threads of course) trying to hammer it out is getting me nowhere. Am...

Hi, I'm putting a 3 piece spoiler on my 88. I am almost done and came to a snag. On the quarter panel side pieces how does the two "pointed" piece attach to the plastic pieces. I first thought I would need to file a rectangle out for the black piece that would snap in. And then I would...
