I bet ACC would have the matching carpet you need in a bulk roll. 

Yes they do. Thanks!

Fun!!!

What is the plan for the reverse light lenses?  The one looks intact enough to make a form if you are going to make one yourself?

I actually have a super clean set of tail lights for it. They showed up just in time for me to stick them in the trunk when I drove it to storage, so I didn't get any pics.

The LTD wagon reverse lights are the ones that people have a hard time finding (Same as the Fairmonts). I might try to make some for that.

I bet my pick up truck is quicker.
It's probably not as much fun, though.  :smile:
You are correct and I am already missing the opportunities to drive it before they begin salting the roads.

I have another T5 on the floor I am going to drop off with a transmission mechanic to go through before putting it in place of the grindy one.

I was going to have to fab up something for the rear at the body, but the rear susp on these is Mustang stuff, so that should be it, really.

I'll probably solid mount the whole subframe, instead of having bushings.

I think the blackout trim is going to look pretty good on there.

 Back to Bird things.

Carpet showed up today. Got a good start on it. I think I’m going to try and find some close matching carpet to wrap the sub frame connectors with.

In the last week or so painted most of the window trim, installed what I could. Put the deck lid on and fit,  got the wipers working, installed the front turn lamps and a horn, moved the cruise control cancel relay from under the dash to the under hood relay box. The relay clicking was a little loud for inside the cabin. I have the rear glass scheduled to get installed, and I think I found a new windshield, but it’s not in my possession yet.

Next on the list is to redo the headliner and install some interior trim.

Some people claim there’s a Gumby to blame, but we all know, it’s really Chuck’s fault. 

Looks like a good find, i can only assume you were going to have to custom make some mounts anyway.
