[QUOTE="SN95_Project, post: 1505603, member: 29044"] Using this to document the upgrades we're doing to my son's 1996 GT Convertible. Happy to share experiences if you run across this thread and are looking to do something we've already done. Links: Intro thread: [URL]https://www.sn95forums.com/threads/new-member-intro-96gt-convertible-cleveland-oh-area.77881/[/URL] Power Passenger Seat (still looking for an answer here if you have one!): [URL]https://www.sn95forums.com/threads/1996-gt-power-seat-switch-mount.77886/[/URL] Power Windows Not Rolling Up (NOT the motor): [URL]https://www.sn95forums.com/threads/window-wont-roll-up.78112/[/URL] ABS Sensors Missing, and Steering Rack Repair/Replace (Not sure which yet): [URL]https://www.sn95forums.com/threads/abs-sensors-missing.78515/[/URL] 1st - 2nd shift issue repair: [URL]https://www.sn95forums.com/threads/96gt-1st-2nd-shift-issue.79043/[/URL] So far, we've done: MM Bilstein coil-over upgrade (finished that on 7/24/22) Installing new head unit and integrating with the previous owner's aftermarket system New front sway bar links and bushings New rotor dust covers MM Camber/Caster plates New front lower control arms (had to literally cut the passenger side one apart to get it out since the inner sleeve on the front bushing froze to the bolt - very frustrating 2 hours!) Need to: MM rear panhard bar install w/ new lower control arms and springs Adjust convertible top to stop seal leaks and bring top forward a bit to make it easier to close - MAYBE new top if I can't fix it MM Steering shaft Figure out the ABS thing Probably replace the rest of the motors in the power seats Invaluable thread on replacing rack and pinion regarding removing front LCAs: [URL]https://www.sn95forums.com/threads/front-control-arm-removal.76176/#post-1468588[/URL] [/QUOTE]
