Hey man I have a clutch that just needs resurfacing and I also have an extra pressure plate. just give me for the shipping and you can take them. i dont have use for them at the moment. I also have a 5 speed computer for a fox. Yea the car runs excellent except for the brake pedal sinking in and it doesnt have brakes. I cant figure out if its the braKe cylinder or the brake booster? Get this it still even still has the trac lok and it does a two wheel burnout.

It was being parted out by this old woman, but luckily it was all intact when I arrived with the money.

damn, I wish I could find a deal like that... hell fix the brakes, clean her up and you could prolly flip it for a couple grand.

as for the brakes, I'd replace both just to be safe but its prolly the master cylinder. did the car sit for a while? cuz master cylinders can go bad if a car sits for a long time

How difficult would it be to replace the master cylinder?

When I picked mine up, it had been sitting for 4 years and needed everything but a couple lines The master cylinder wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but my car is factory manual brakes. I just had to disconnect the rod from the brake peddle, take the two bolts off the firewall holding it on, and the lines of course. Bench bleed the new master, slap it back on just like it came off, top off your fluid and start bleeding the brakes (the fun bit!!!). Since your car is power brakes (I'm guessing) it might not be as simple as mine. I probably didn't help much, but these boys on here will chime in any moment, and give you some REAL advice lol Get at er'!

I dunno, its probably not a hugely difficult task

never did one.

my old mustang was an old 3.8 auto t-top hatch... regret buying, regret selling that I started to put a 5.0 in. it had sat for a while before I bought it and the brakes were weak as hell. and then the car mostly sat throughout my ownership of it....

happy ending to the story, is the new owner got it road worthy and I actually saw it cruising around a few times
