Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Adjustable steering column

« on: October 07, 2007, 18:52:55 »

I have a couple pieces of plastic bits on the cockpit floor, and a steering column that drops into the lower most postion. I broke it! Question is , are parts atainable, is repair feasible and if not, if anyone else has experienced this can you simply "bolt" or fasten column in upper most position and please describe. I can get pics of bits, but the long and short is that even though the lever will engage and stay up...the column won't, it appears to not be engaging anything. The column has a Ford part markings and a square hub where it faces the dash, lever is on the left side of column.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Door panels off

« on: March 24, 2007, 23:08:25 »

The leather restorer and I navigated the inside door panels today. Really not to bad. The chrome interior lock slide unscrews, there are two phillips screws in aft edge of door, 2 in leading edge of door (over the hinge-you'll need a ratchet side drive screw driver too get them out). To get at these you'll need to take the under dash lip filler pieces out, couple of phillips heads as well. The inside door handles unscrew easily and the slide the inside door unlock lever black plastic trim (can't recall whether it slid fore or aft) to release the panel there. As you might suspect you have an aluminum panel with leather trim in your hand.Bottom compartments ( for maps and such) can be taken off with a few screws, we left them on. As was posted earlier, the dash comes away after screws in underside are removed as well as some in side of lower portion going into tunnel. As soon as I figure out the picture attachment decoder, I'll post some pictures. Jim

Trevor,
   My wife made me a gift of this incredible 2006 tomb (sp) this evening for Christmas. I'm sure it will be well loved in this household and the world over. The pictures alone are magnificent, the story and text even better. This should start some interesting discussions on various sites. Congratulations!!!
