If you take out the storage trays..the lap belt bolts holes are there. Attach seatbelts and add seat cushions. It'll work in a pinch.

I've always wondered the same thing. The coupes are sought after before the hatch back which comes before the convertible. Maybe people don't like convertibles.. LoL. I don't think its the "kit" because it's basically similar to a mustang Cobra. I've asked that same question in the McLaren Facebook ...

I located a stock 89 AscMclaren in Flat Rock Michigan at Riteonauto( he actually had a black 88 and a SVO) i looked in the engine bay and ASC didn't use the black/orange wire(plug) that goes to a stock mustang alternator. They only used a 4-6 gauge wire from the Lestek to the starter relay and the ...

Welcome...the tops are manually operated. Once you push and hold the button... You'll hear the top release motor turning so it "unscrews" the top pin at the tonneau. After it releases the top, push tonneau rearward and up.

I'm trying to upgrad my alternator to a 3g on my 89 McLaren. The McLaren came with a 130amp Lestek Alternator. Did that Alternator use the 4gauge wire along with the black/orange wires? Should I use the 3g in the same manner or eliminate the black/orange wire and only use the 4 gauge? All the videos ...

My factory horns have went bad. I need to replace them. Did 89 Asc's come with air horns? I don't see any evidence of there ever being air horns on this car. Are they hard to add?

It’s not likely 2 horns went bad. The horn pads are known for going bad. It’s a simple fix. Time to get a volt ...

Just read this post from Sandy

"The air horns were only on the 84 85 & 86 coupes. 'Verts did not get them. They were a part of the McLaren Pkg. on the Coupes."

There is another option in the area but to be honest, could be September before new work can be scheduled.

Fox Body Resto LLC. The shop moved to Livonia in 2017. Used to be on the eastside.
Thanks... Installed strut tower brace today. Trying to install one piece at a time. So far I've installed ...

Alright I gathered some info. In 1989 only 18 white/wine/Scarlet were produced. 16 automatics and 2 5 speed cars. The number 27 your referring to is the total number of 5 speed cars made out of the 247 run. In 1989 white was the most popular color with 84 cars painted. The scarlet interior build ...

Thanks... we appreciate you!

[quote="1985 Motorsport Capri"]Yea i would avoid Oval.
I just wanted the guy to put it in h pipe that fit perfectly on the 85.
I was forced to get a Cat-Back exhaust system. we agreed on a Flowmaster and my one stipulation was it had to be the factory look style and placement and he agreed .it took ...

I was wondering about that shop. Owner/mechanic still hasn't called me back. Thanks for the heads up.

Need to do shocks and struts on 399. KYB or tokico? Price is about the same. Opinions/advice? Thanks in advance!
I just did my front and rear springs. I just put Eibach pro kit springs on and I already had Tokico shocks(BB3026) and struts on the car. It rides a lot better. I'm going with Bilstein ...
