my 87 cougar

Hey everyone, my parents had an 86 cougar when I was growing up and I loved that car, I finally found a cougar of my own.  I have been lurking here for sometime.  Just bought an 87 cougar for $300.  It had 160066km on it, a saggy faux fur headliner and a hell of a shake when applying the brakes.  After changing the rotors and pads she drove A LOT smoother.  She had an exhaust leak (completly disconnected after the last cat) so, I bought her for $300 and then less than $500 worth of parts (inuding a windshield) and she was legally on the road!  I plan on a custom interior with a custom dash, new carpet, custom audio (thinking piller mount tweeters, small subs just enough to enhance the bass and some decent 6x9s.  I plan on a custom hood cowl and a HO 302 install.  Still tossing the idea of putting a standard tranny in.  I am going to do some body work and then paint her.  I am not sure on  color/scheme.  but I have time to think about that.

Thanks everyone
