Not driving it yet ..Still with the mechanic , figured since it was already out there I would get some other stuff fixed . It just came bac...

Re: Dave's 68 Coupe (Update)

Hi Jacko , Yes all sorted and then some - tried to sort it myself for a good while but just got worse .eventually it was either send it to the classifieds or my local Mechanic . Went with the latter... Carb was apparently over fueling the motor to the point where it had fouled all the plugs & co...

Re: 68 Mustang Brake Warning Light

Thanks to all who replied , It seems that in my case at least just removing the switch , checking it's not stuck then putting it back in the block reset things . I now have working brakes and the Warning light has gone out. One step closer to Rego ?

Re: 68 Mustang Brake Warning Light

Re: Dave's 68 Coupe (Update)

Nice one... it's all those fiddly bits that take all the time. You said it , and as fast as I fix something I find another little job that needs doing . e.g spent a few hours just tracing wiring to work out why the drivers door interior light switch didn't work. Current remaining jobs are : C4 Sele...

Re: Dave's 68 Coupe

Hey Guys,

Anyone know why this one doesn't have a paint code ?
goes from 65C for coupe then seems to go straight to the trim code?
