Oh, and I think I had used a pair of vise grips on one of my locking covers. (Rust)
I got a tool, but don't know if they were all the same or not


thanks for the tip, but someone beat me to it :)....  once i figured out that you can take off the cat center caps, i saw that someone had already cut slits in the bolts to fit a flathead screwdriver..... so i didn't have to worry about it after all.... sweet;)

Say I Love my Cougar.......  with Krylon Gloss Black!

couldn't leave it torch red and bondo :)......  might paint the scoops a different color, but i'm not sure.....  i'm suprised it matched so close, but it looks much worse in in person....  the camera makes it almost look right


also, new(er) tail lights from bear...................

some pics of the cancer and the road paint that's ALL down the passenger side......  this car was not loved, i'm shocked that the interior wasn't abused more

finished swapping the outside (for now).....wish i had the time and resources that i see on others cars, but alas, you do with what you can with what you have :toilet:

i like the 83 hood ornament with the turbo coupe hood.......  i might even keep the spokey hubcaps.....  i'll get to the dents, one day......  i did swap out the driver knee panel, glove box, and center console lid with the wifes car... they are in really good condition and look a lot better than the black painted stuff i had in her car (had to match different colored parts).... i guess the $200 i paid has made up for itself in parts for the wifes car too :)

now, if i can find a good dash pad in charcoal, i'll put it in the wifes 83 and put the black one from her car in the 84...... then, the interior might be done too.......  i was also able to install a cd changer inder the passenger seat using the hole in the center console radio bezel from the changer that was taken out:D

now, for those mechanical issues :mullet:

p.s. the wifes car is the one on the bottom with the hula girl

i think i had a mouse or 2 in here.........

i wish i had taken pics of the dirty rubbermade bowl and the "half-eaten" bar of soap with mouse  under it under the passenger seat, but when i took down the headliner i found this.......  the last pic is in the driver door jam wheel well area.....  i hope they moved out when i brought it home :)


p.s. the underside of the seat was unmolested... weird

wish that were my case..... mouse  on the heasliner sealed the fact that they were up there....  maybe they didn't totally kill it, but they helped ;)
