T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars WANTED / ** NEW parts needed list**
I am looking for a few parts some small some not so.. There aren't many parts cars around that I have found near me..

Center console where the window switches is, mine looks like  and I have tried many times to fix it with no luck. Or someone who can make this one look good.


The lid/armrest for the console mine is broken where the hinge screws in to it.


The dome light lid. two tabs are broken and it does not stay on at all anymore



Inner seat belt sleeve passenger side


The rear lower trim around the back window, the clips gave out and I lost one of the pieces on the highway after leaving a car wash. I believe it is the lower passenger but would take both bottom pieces or all if they are in good shape.

Some of the bigger things are I am still looking for a rust free trunk preferably black. I also am in need of some doors and fenders as well..

Engine Tech / Tps

Thanks, it's a 3.8

Misc Tech / Wiper adjustment
How do you adjust the wiper blades I had my windshield changed a few months ago and hate them now. They don't come to rest as far as they used too also they go up too far and hit the window trim.. Any ideas?

Audio & Other Aftermarket Electronics / Plugs???
I am installing a new radio my wife got me for my birthday...

Engine Tech / best rad?
I found out while fixing my oil and power steering leaks that my radiator is just about shot.. It still keeps the car from overheating BUT it is disintegrating, The bottom half fins are all just rotting away and you can push right thru them. What is the best radiator to go with, I have the 3.8 in there now but will be swapping something else in hopefully sooner rather then later. So I would like to swap in a rad that will keep the next engine cool as well whatever it might be.

Thanks in advance

Engine Tech / Oil Pan???
I am changing my leaking oil pan gasket while the front end is apart. Got it down and can not figure out how to get it out.. Does it come out the front or go back towards the tranny... Had the motor jacked up from the front and could not get it out past the tranny.. 3.8 with as of now the rack and pinion and sway bar off the car and out of the way.... :punchballs:
