Helping son replace seat
Hope someone can help.
My son saved enough cash to buy a 1998 6-cylinder Mustang. The front driver's seat has just broken. It now has only one position -- laid all the way back. I called my usual mechanic and he told me it would be cheapest for me to find a seat at a wrecking yard and install it ourselves. Since we're lacking a bit in mechanical know-how, is this something that is easy to do? It's a manual power seat, if that helps. Are there any books or websites that would show how to do this? Tina |

Helping son replace seat
HI Tina!
As a mom, I want to do something for you. I owned a 95 GT then a 98 Cobra, loved them but no longer have either. I have the Ford service tech on CD and will be more than happy to mail it to you if you'll give me an address. Now, I realize that you may be hesitant, you don't know me from Adam, but if you ask in the Group, seriously, they'll vouch that Im a kook, but not a nut Just one mom, trying to help another. Tell your son, I said GOOD JOB!!! Kate Oh, swapping the seats is not hard. 4 bolts and a wiring plug underneath. You must be very careful when taking it out or you can scratch the door panels with the seat mounting hardware. I sent a reply to your address with my email address on it. > wrote in message ups.com... > Hope someone can help. > > My son saved enough cash to buy a 1998 6-cylinder Mustang.

I heard Kate was a serial killer of single moms.
Just joking, Kate, that's nice of you to help! That's the kind of thing that makes me happy to be an American!

Hey! I found that there Mustang killer under a cabbage leaf!
She in turn, hatched a future car killer methinks... She was nonspecific in her victims though, she killed a GEO, a Honda, the Mustang, two Dodges, a Fiesta, a Camaro a Toyota and I think her last victim was another Honda. The body count continues to grow. Not all of them were wrecked, but as far as I know all but one had been crunched in one way or another. But DANG - she sure is a purty thing! Wow, writing it out like that gave me the heebie jeebies!

Do I recall correctly that there is a difference between the seats in a coupe vs a 'vert?
