    Arvidsson, I'm not trying to get you to defect from this forum as I visit here frequently myself. I assume most members here are like myself and cruise several forums. FYI there is a forum dedicated to the 428 CobraJet cars that has also been beneficial to me. Not to detract from this forum as I have found lots of good info here as well as a couple of other forums. Can't have to much info. Good luck.    Dave R.

    Hey Dave!

    No worries :)! I sure am a member of the 428CJ forum as well! And some others too. Sometimes it’s hard remember were I read something good! Might have to start saving the links. 

    Thansks for tip sir!

    I am doing exactly the same.  I have tilt/tilt away in my 69 convertible, and I am keeping spare parts for it.  The tilt mechanism is the same as used in Thunderbirds and Lincolns from about 1966 to 1974.  The Tbirds and Lincs did not include the tilt away feature, but it is the same mechanism as the Mustang.

    I see these for sale on Ebay all the time, and it is rare if they have the tilt away trigger that is under the dash.  All cars had it supplied originally, so why are there so few of them?   I wonder. 

    I am an electrical engineer,  and I  know I could make an electro-magnetic one that could be used to trigger the tilt away.   Some day when I have time, I might give it a try.

    Thanks for the info! Appreciate it! 
    and will def. pass the info along!

    Hi all!

    Giving a shout out from Sweden. Been in the forum for some years but haven’t had a Mustang since 2014. Recently came across a barn find here in Sweden. And got it for a price I just couldn’t resist including shit load of parts. It’s a 69 Mach-1 R-code, my dream car. 
    It was I fairly good shape when I bought it but I knew there was a lot of stuff to do to it. It ran, very nice interior and so on.

    Could see hidden bondo repairs, that turned out really bad. Most of the car is original, the engine for instance. 
    Have started to tear it down, the engine is at the machining shop, the original crank turned it to be a bit crocked, so looking for a “new” one. 
    Found 2 build sheets when I removed the front seats, one in good shape and the other one not so good shape, so my plan is to let it stay there, maybe but a clear coat over it :) 

    and yeah, if you wanna follow my Mach 1 Instagram: the_69Mach1_resurection

    Will most likely use this forum a lot more from now on.

     

    cheers!

    It looks like you are missing the tilt away mechanism that goes under the dash.  Without it, you only have a  tilt column.  I sold one in September of this year with everything included, clean, painted, and ready to go. It included several of the parts you do not have, and it sold for $1100.  If you can find the wire harness and mechanism for the bottom, this could be worth about $800 maybe.  If you clean it up, get it all working, and find all the parts, it could be worth more.  For your information ( I am not interested in buying it)  I would think a fair price might be $500 as is.

    Hey Danno! 
     

    thanks for the input. It’s a bit difficult over here to get hold of all necessary bits and pieces so that’s why I’m selling as is. I do have a 69 column too with more parts to it, but I’m keeping that for a while :)

    Appreciate all the input and opinions from you guys! :thumbup1:

    Great to see some of your beautiful cars and how they sit too! Great forum this is!!

     

    Here´s a pic of how the stance was when the car was in the states, before I bought it. The rear shackles were 8-10" long and crappy bushings..

    Also a pic of the difference between old and new springs. I thought it would lower the car more.

    Nice looking stang. Not to be Negative Nancy, but even with the front wheels turned a bit it appears to me that the wheel is a little too much to the rear in the wheelhouse. Have you measured it to see if it's at 108"? Then again, my eyes ain't as good as they used to be :)

    I haven't done an alignment yet, just got it out of the garage :) .. Going to have it done the coming week.

    As it sits now it has a sick +camber..

     

    And like some of you guys say, I will consider lowering it a tad more in the front.

    Very classic look. I personally like a little more rake and would lower the front maybe an inch or so more so that the top of the front tire tucks up, but that's just me. Something like so:

     

    I guess that was what i was hoping for. Nice "shoped"! I'll let the springs settle and see if they set a bit lower! I'll post a pic of the difference between old and new springs when I get home.

    Same issue on my previous stang - I used a disc and cut the bolts that way. It worked - but be careful not to hit the unibody.

     

    Hey - this was my 400th post! Does one get a prize for that? lol

     

    Well worth a prize!

     

     

     

    Thanks for all the tips guys!! I´ll go at it tonight and hopefully the new stuff will be on the car tomorrow!!
