Thanks! Replaced that one, it caught fire and melted. Gutted and replaced all the lines as well. Both were cheap.

Might be a little critical....everything else is so clean.

Ah.... gotcha. That is definitely happening this summer. That fluid is old... but I need to replace all of the rubber lines, so I'll do a complete flush soon. I bought this bad boy because I also need to do my truck and the Wife's Escape.

I have an opportunity to buy these wheels from my Buddy for the 89. I'm not too sure.... I'm not in love at the moment.

Have to see a comparison, pretty sure I'd choose what you have on there now. I've always liked the factory rims on the GT's..... personally.

No love here, but I tend to buy by spec. Lighter? Stronger? Strike me as if they are designed to show off "ever so pretty," rotors and painted calipers. Maybe use a UV black light glow paint and UV underlights? 😏🤭😆 Think of these wheels like a bra that shows a lot.

EDIT: The more I look....the choice is obvious. I've really been thinking about just getting the pony wheels repainted the same color... I bought them new in about 1998, so the paint is not perfect.

To me the choice is obvious.... Keep the Pony wheels, because I''m not a fan of black wheels in general. What's your preference?

For the same reason, the pony wheels. I don't really like black wheels either.
