Body/Appearance/Interior / T-bird/Cougar Sheet metal interchange question.
My friend has an 84 T-bird, his uncle found an 88 cougar being parted out. Will sheet metal interchange from the doors forward? I searched and found nothing. He needs both doors and fenders, anything else swap? (I know trunk lids are different).
Thanks.

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / New member, friend's 84 Thunderbird
Hi all, my friend has an 84 Thunderbird Elan and he's young and new to playing with cars. My other friends and I have been helping him, and now at least it runs again with a new fuel pump in it, however another problem has developed, now the car will not start without jumping the terminals on the solenoid. We replaced the solenoid and added an extra ground to one of the mount bolts. My ford friend told me he had the same problem on his f250, there is an actuator rod in the column the broke in his case. Does this sound like possibly issue on this car? I'm kinda at a loss here myself.
Also, it has a 302, and it sounds like a kinda like a typewriter. I was wondering if 84 302's have adjustable valvetrain or not and if not, what else could be causing it?

Thanks guys,
Martin
