The Miracle of DIY
 

Hey guys,

I am relatively new to the Mustang Forum, but as long as I have been active you all know I have been a DIY nut trying to save money on getting my Mustang up to spec. Well today I replaced the Window Regulator and Motor on the drivers side. Did not have the immediate $$$ for the mechanic so I swing for the fences and did it myself. The instructions on the AmericanMuscle.com site say that it takes 2 hours and Advanced Mechanical Skills. None of the held true for me. I am an automotive layman and am getting better each week and it took me about 4 to 5 hours to do this since it was just me. All of the videos on how to do it say it takes two people. Well, all I had was me. 4 hours and a nice wrist cut later my window is working and I am happy. Thanks for lettin' me share Mustang Peeps!!!

:nice:

Slowly, but surely I am trying to get it together...

Devanslive,

Great job! Props to you for going at the job head on with just a DIY. I've always attempted to do every job myself before I ask for assistance or you'll never learn. Now 8 years after I turned my first bolt there's still more to learn!

Keep up the great work and let me know if you ever need some assistance or have any questions.

haha, been over 40 yrs for me, and every job is a new one it seems. ive been a DIY`r my entire life, now 55. one heck of a tool set and many a busted knuckle, wouldnt have it any other way :D

nice work on the door, you just saved a bunch of $$$on labor :) (thats how to get some tool money, little at a time)

I have not gotten a busted knuckle yet, but I did get a nice size wrist cut from the track on the window regulator... :-)

you`ll want to learn to be safe and take extra care. cuts and nicks happen so easy. your on the right track, now just be careful. :D
