I did my own 89 mustang, by myself. I'm a decent backyard mechanic. It was pretty rough. It actually took me 2 days, and I never got it perfect, but pretty damn tight. My problem was actually in the window alignment. For some reason after i changed the top the windows no longer sealed. Eventually though it got torn somehow so now I have to do it again. I also live in Lansing so now I know not to go to Blairs. I have been researching the internet and the Detroit area seems to have tons of places, it may be worth the drive. Tell me how it goes for you since I am in Iraq and will have to have my wife drop the car off for me if I find a reputable place. I'm also looking to have the whole interior/exterior restored as well, though it's not going to take too much to have that done.

I got my kit ordered, and the new top on. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. I got an Easy Install kit, had all the frame pieces already together, I just had to take the old one off, and put the new one on. Was pretty easy. Only problem is it has a plastic window, so no defroster function now its okay, i wont be driving it in the winter anyways.

While I had it off, I checked the motors that raise and lower it, and they seem to be going out. Anyone have any idea where to get these for cheap? Top already killed me, would hate to have to spend another 2-300 on a new motor.
