Just got my 1987 McLaren

Post by whaggans »

Hello all, I just got a 1987 McLaren Mustang. The people i got it from were trying to restore it but ran out of time to work on it.

I need some help with the wiring, a lot of it was unhooked and not marked. The other problem I have is the top, it does not look right to me. I have some photos at http://public.fotki.com/whaggans/car/ for you to look at. If anyone can help please let me know, I want to get this car completed and back on the road.

Thanks

From what I could see, your top frame appears to be all there. but your missing the tonneau cover. Did you get it with the sale of the car?


this pics shows where the rocker switch to the tonnueau cover goes, this switch controls the pull down/release motor. Image

BTW... Congrats and good luck with the car!

I found the harness for the toggle switch, it was not the wires coming out of the hole in the photo (Not sure what they go to yet)

I have the tonnueau cover, the problem I have with is I am not sure how is goes on. As you can see from the photo the bar that hold it is not connected the right way, and the other problem is there is no motor for.

Sadly I did not take the car apart so I am not sure how it needs to look.
