LX 5.0

I am interested in buying a 91 GT, Black leather, ram air hood, cromecobra rims, 2 owner, 88,000. Anyways it needs a new door handle and a new heater core. Is it a simple job to replace the heater core? I know I am known here for weight to power ratio. Though if I were to have a GT leather is the way to go and air bags arn't a bad idea.. I havn't drove acar since November 1 and am getting a bitimpatient.

if u got time and patience easy

took me half a day.. started at 8am didnt get it all back together till about 7pm

course i took pics, labled, bagged and ate food throughout the whole process lol. im sure if u wanted to (rush fast) u could do it in probably 4-6 hours. i dont recommend rushing. lots of bolts and very easy to lose stuff. i came up with 4 extra bolts when i finished. not sure where they go but o well its all in-tact and thats what matters lol

sucks about ur stang man, u still in MA?

i highly recommend buying a 5.0 now if you plan to drive one over the summer. save THOUSANDS. i remember over the summer i saw hatches in similar condition to mine running at about 3-4 grand whereas I payed under 2 in february during a blizzard. it just snowed here last night so people should be throwing up the for sale signs soon.

I havn't looked in my haynes manual yet. Is the job simple for one like me who has basic mechanic skills. I gottools and jack stands and love to work on my car. I was planning on becomming a mechanic but realized it is a hobie not a carreer.

since i have a 93 with an AOD alot of stuff was different but that article will atleast get u started on getting the dash out and its pretty straight forward from there. it was 9 pages when i printed it and i stopped reading at about page 4

By the time you finished you'll probably wish you had payed someone to do it. lol. It will be a good learning experience though, I doreccomend doing it but expect some down time.

funny i just came in from my shop where i was replacing the heater core.....the part is cheap... just alot of work if you take your time and make sure you keep things organized....i have a couple extra bolts

Is'nt it funny that almost any car project has some bolts left over, I don't think I did the job right if I were to use all the bolts.
