Sweet Cougar:D

I have automatic climate control. It's pretty cool, as long as it doesn't break. Mine hasn't yet but it will now because I said something:flame:

The Auto Lamps are very easy to add. There are no wires to splice, its a modular add on to the dash harness. Now the ATC, without adding a bunch of wires you have to change the dash harness out. Its very hard to find a dash harness that provides you with what you want, but all you can do is look. I've done it myself on my 88. I used an 88 TC harness. That got me systems sentry, ATC, buttstuffog cluster and the turbo stuff, even though I can't use the turbo stuff for anything.

If I had that car, after gloating :) I would find a dash harness out of an 86 TC. It will be easy to find one with the ATC. For simplicity you have to go with a same year harness, every year connectors changed. You can modify a different year harness but that would be a PITA. Make sure you get the heater box as well. You could find a harness out of a 86 Elan, that would have what you wanted but a full digital dash, and those are cool.

Purdy Cat, white is a good color. :p I have a friend that does upholstery and sun roof work. I asked him about my cougar and i got a similar response that you've gotten so far, Sunroof is possible, just has to be dont "right." Whatever that means, all i know i wont be cutting my roof anytime soon either. Welcome to the forum!
