Here is the results from the Meguiars Resto kit....
The passenger side light has a brown line in the bottom of the lense from where water sat in it for so long. I'm happy with the lights though, not bad for $18. They look better in person and they are SOOOO much brighter I can see the road again! lol

Not to cause any trouble, but why would you put a chevy in your T-Bird? I know street rodders do it all the time and I can't understand them either. If you want chevy power buy a chevy, same thing for ford, dodge, and so on. I personally don't think it's right. I know my opinion doesn't account for much but it's just my two cents.

LOL!! That's cool!! My legal name is John, but there was too many John's in my family so I got nicknamed Jay.
I don't know why he put them here either but he was already told he should have started his own thread.
Looks like you have a good list of things to do to your Bird. Make sure you let that back heal up so you can enjoy it.

My legal name is James butr grandma nicknamed me jaybird when i was little so its kinda ironic that i know own a thunderbird. tried to get "jaysbird" on my tag but its not available.

Idk why he put them here but whatever. Yeah my girlfriend wont let me get under the car yet because of my back but she said the day I can get down on the ground and then pick myself back up w/o a problem I could get under any car! lol getting down there is the easy part! haha

Awhile back in this thread, someone said something about seats with Halo headrests...

The headrests are removable, with a little bit of work, and a hacksaw blade. (no don't cut the f*cker off....lol)

Slide the blade in there, and with a little jiggling around in the right spot, the 'rest will slide completely out.

I had Motorsport seats in the asc/Mclaren Capri I once owned...they're about to find their way into the Sport in my sig.

The Halo 'rests on them were on the seats when i bought the Capri.
I have no idea what year they seats were made, but a member here told me they were rather rare.

One last thing, you can use Mustang seats in a Tbird/Cougar...just remember to use your Tbird/Cougar brackets, since Stang brackets won't fit our floorpans. Just a heads-up ;)

(now back to the regularly scheduled thread-in-progress lol)
