[Shotimes] Trim on the '93MTX

[Kerry Kinion]

Jesus - you have a lot of miles on those bitches!  111k on mine with a
fresh 60k done - if I keep up on this thing and can get 200k+, I'll be
pumped!

Last update on the ticking noise.  Will hook up with Josh S. soon - but
in the mean time, here's what I hear.

I listened to it a little more today and I think it's something going on
with Cyl #6.  Symptoms are as follows:

1. When I listen thru the stethoscope - the main place I hear the noise
is thru the valve cover bolt near Cyl #6.

2. Noise only happens with acceleration - not on deceleration or at
idle.  Starts at about 2400 RPM's.

3. Seems to have creeped up a little bit to where I can hear it above
3000 RPM's to about 3500 RPM's.

Need help with a trim question.

The front passanger side lower screw on the lower door moulding decieded
to
rust in two.  The moulding came loose and jammed the front wheel
moulding as
you opened the door bending and scraping the door molding.

The result is broken tabs on the molding right behind the front wheel
and a
bent plastic door molding.

Questions:

A: Will the door molding return to its original straight shape once it
is
off of the door?

B: Assuming that it does return to straight, where can I find another
special fastener?  Surely Ford has made this part obsolete!

C: Can I epoxy the front piece to the nylon hook part?  Plastic to
plastic
epoxy worries me that this will have bonding problems.

D: Other than Al Fitz, wonder if anyone is parting out a green '93?
