I am using LePage heavy duty spray glue. We will see if it adheres over time. So far so good

New airbag for $200. Need the wheel to go with it. Really like those T96 steering wheels ...

Picked up an airbag and steering wheel for a good price! Air bag is excellent, but the wheel needs work. Will get it redone and with blue stitching like I have in the rest of the car.

Also got the 4 stalk combination switch and am making the harnesses to retrofit the cruise control and OBC.

Just finished attaching the paddles to the new wheel. Can't wait to drive it using paddles!



Haven't done much upholstery work lately but Wil finish this when the car is parked, I think.

I'll give the details later, but I made the USB port myself. Wasn't hard to make.

Hello my Mustang Brother!!!

I've got a 93GT in the shop right now going through a color change.

Picked up our '99 C2 Coupe Manual a couple months back and am finally starting to wrench on it slowly. Hope to have it "ready" by the spring time.

Great progress you've made in the time you've had yours. Looking forward to seeing more updates!

PS: My car is silver but my kids call her Sally as well LOL

What are "mid cushions from a cabriolet for the rear seats"?

For the USB, I bought this:

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Short-USB-2-0-A-Female-To-A-Male-Cable-Extension-Cord-Hot-Sell/191928086863?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I then cut a hole out of one of my left over blank out buttons and fitted it into that. The USB that came out of the head unit then just plugged into the short cord. I got blue and i have it illuminated when the headlights are turned on.

The mid cushion I refer to is this:

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Porsche-996-...53.m1438.l2649

Because we actually do use the back seats all the time, these cushions are needed to keep the passenger's back straight.

And yes, it is always nice to see a fellow Mustanger. I post regularly on The Mustang Source under the same handle.
