Again....if the wheel (yes 'rim" as everyone calls them these days)
measures 9" from lip to lip...it is technically a 8" wide wheel.....


Why? That makes no sense whatsoever?

New pics soon. I have pics of it with the front bumper on. The last few days I completely gutted the interior and power washed the carpet(tons of dog hair), fixing some chipped/broken interior trim, and hopefully fixing my no latching Parking brake.

UPDATE: 2 weeks ago I gutted the interior to power wash the dog hair out of the carpet. Ive been steadily fixing this truck to perfection. I wish the weather were better so the Cougar could get this kind of attention. Even though its in show room condition. Opinions please.

daboss: Yes tomorow I plan on it, I have that corner off of it right now. We have 5 inches of snow, so there is no point in tagging it yet. That is where I slid into it with my current Daily Driver. Gonna put a CAI, and might put on a bolt on exhaust kit, like Flowmaster or something. Add a 10" sub and some rear speakers to the factory system, eliminating the 3rd seat. I havent thought to indepth about it.

Cougar86: Im gonna take the carpet back out to run all of my stereo wiring. I plan on making a custom box to replace the 3rd seat, and add two rear cabin speakers. Im gonna put sound deadening on the floor. I just wanted the carpet clean for now. A GM replacement was $200 with my employee discount, but since im 18 and goin to college, I cant afford that with the hours I am limited to.

xr7cat: It is Way too much Tan, but I thought about it, and that dark charcoal grey would take too much away from the truck IMO. The tan accents the black. Blue lighting accents the tan too. I have added a few interior lights.

Its not too bad. My boss showed me what to do today to fix the plastic using just a heat gun. Managed to pop out that whole dent and fuse the plastic back together. Next step is to bolt the corner back on and heat it up so it takes the original shape. The rollpan will be fun. Thats some tough steel. Depends on what your doing. I hate sanding primer. Too me it just takes too  much time for no less than you sprayed.
