They need some work but it's a start.http://foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=25403 Repaint trim, mirrors, and etc black and get yourself some BBS Mesh or Lincoln LSC wheels (easier to come by, but require 5-lug conversion).

That OE adhesive was STRONG. Found some fog lights too. I'm on my way. Here's a shot of a proud Bird owner with my new parts. Quote Selected

Help me make it say 1985! Reply #21 – September 13, 2009, 11:11:34 AM Well, You need to get the ten hole wheels that came with it and sell those Snowflakes, then the T/C grille, the moldings will be the hardest thing to get. Good luck!! Quote Selected
Help me make it say 1985! Reply #22 – September 13, 2009, 11:31:43 AM Zbird... Thanks. What's the TC grill? Isn't that just the same as mine but painted black? The bird I pulled the moldings from yesterday had a good grill but I didn't look twice at it because I figured I could paint mine. Quote Selected
