    Hello members, my name is Mark, from Utah. This is my first post in the Forum community, since joining in August. I just retired a year ago last March. I recently acquired a 1973Mercury Comet GT to fuel my desire to keep busy! My first Comet GT (1971) was one I bought when I graduated from High School many many moons ago. Had it until I got married 2 years later, sold it, and have regretted it ever since. I have been working on the 73 that I have now, making everything functional etc. The forum has been extremely helpful to me in getting things working and done right! I just finished up installing the E150 spring swap on the rear. The driver side shock mount was loose and the car had air shocks on it which I removed. My old 71 shocks went up through the trunk so I knew I had to remove the air shocks on the 73. Just wanted to give a short list of the items you guys have helped me with.

    C4 trans kick down
    Neutral safety switch replacement
    Dash lights functioning
    Fuel sending unit repair (hole in float)
    Driveshaft ujoints
    Turn signal cam replacement
    Shifter bushing replacement

    The list keeps on a going, Thanks to you all. I will post pictures of my GT when it lets me - Mark
