a little update Reply #30 – November 07, 2006, 04:30:09 PM Just a heads-up, it is easy to recover the headliner.Just be sure you don't mess up the factory cardboard. You can carefully peel off the fabric, sand the glue off, and start over. An interior shop can get you pointed in the right direction as far as a new adhesive and fabric to use. Good luck. It may take more than one try though. Quote Selected
a little update Reply #31 – November 07, 2006, 09:36:45 PM Quote from: Chooglin;112175very minor body work (stone chips) That "very minor body work" has a way of becoming a big job. My car has extremely little rust (driver's fender, which is being replaced, and some flaking paint in the wheel openings and at the rocker/1/4 seam), but it is absolutely covered with small dents and dings. 19 years worth of parking lot dings and road abrasion add up to a lot of minor fixes (and you car is even older, though with lower mileage). I had originally hoped to paint only the TC parts I install, to try to maintin the original paint, but it would be impossible to do so and rid the car of minor dents & dings. There are even some scratches and dings on the roof, fer chrissake! The entire car needs a going over and paint... Quote Selected

It's easier to just have the body gone over and repainted. That's what I'm going to do when I get mine painted after I finish college. Quote Selected
a little update Reply #34 – November 08, 2006, 01:00:27 AM I feel like a broken record bringing this up, but I think my '84 Cougar was the wierdest optioned car I've ever seen.5.0, vinyl seats, A/C, factory pop-up/pull-out sunroof, passenger mirror DELETE! Oh, and no power options in the center console. I still have the blank switch plate. Quote Selected
a little update Reply #35 – November 08, 2006, 02:45:39 AM That kinda sounds like my 84 T/c power locks outside keypad, power windows, auto on/off headlights, power dirver seat,power mirros, factory A/c, No Rear window defroster? Oh yeah it even has a power antenna. And according to carfax it is an Iowa car and I'm the 3rd owner. Quote Selected
