The new DD: 2001 Police Interceptor, new PICS on Page 11! Reply #60 – January 21, 2008, 07:41:11 PM Well, I installed some new carpet today ($89 from eBay brand new). Also threw in the lower mileage gray front seats. For some REAL before pics, check out page 1, but here's some before's as of starting today. Notice the front seats are blue... Quote Selected

Found it under the rubber floor in the passenger footwell. The local Sheriff's Office sent a car out to get it, they were pretty cool and liked my Vic. The Sergeant wants to try to sneak some Flowmaster 40's onto his cruiser now!Also the rat's nest of wiring I cut out of the floor area. About 2#'s worth. All the trim in this car is soooooo easy to pull! Just pull, no screws or clips or anything! Quote Selected

I also saved about 40#s swapping in a manual driver's seat over the power unit. I'm still going to try and find a better driver's seat as this one has a burn hole and a cut in it (and they cut the harness from it so the Airbag light is flashing!)All in all, the interior now has $200 invested in it and it's looking mighty good I think. Comfier, cleaner, and nicer for sure! Quote Selected

The new DD: 2001 Police Interceptor, new PICS on Page 11! Reply #64 – January 24, 2008, 07:46:01 PM Just a quick outside "update". The "Police Interceptor" emblem is securely beck on the trunk (I'm still torn as to whether to put the Ford oval back or not though), all of the yellow striping is gone (but not the roof numbers!), the side trim panels are back on the doors, and it's been washed (but not detailed or waxed yet, still getting the grime off to get to the paint!). I just haven't put any "overall" outside shots up since dragging it home...I ordered up some trim rings and centercaps today for the wheels (decide to keep the cop steelies). I'm trying to get a custom pushbar made for the front (a small crossbar only so I can mount a set of round Hella Rally style foglights). I do need to figure out what to do with the front doors...

The new DD: 2001 Police Interceptor, new PICS on Page 11! Reply #65 – January 24, 2008, 08:56:07 PM I like the idea of the push-bar on the front, but I don't like the idea of putting rally-style driving lights on it. That's a little too hokey for my taste.Other than that, nice work. Quote Selected

The new DD: 2001 Police Interceptor, new PICS on Page 11! Reply #67 – January 24, 2008, 11:27:06 PM Really? It needs more lighting (they're worse then stock fox TBird/Cougar lights if that's even possible!) and I thought 2 of the small round fogs mounted below the bar would be low-profile enough.

How it drives until now ? still getting great power and mileage ? You need a good (loooud) sound system ! but i think you prefer the sweet tone of the exhaust :D Quote Selected
The new DD: 2001 Police Interceptor, new PICS on Page 11! Reply #71 – January 26, 2008, 11:12:31 AM Still drives great! It's so quiet inside with the carpet now, and the seats are much better (not the old ones were bad, but now it's like driving around in a Lazy-Boy!). I'm getting 20MPG mixed/25MPG freeway observed on the cheapest 87 swill I find. Power is good (but it need more, maybe a turbo? :D )Cars have radios? Quote Selected

The new DD: 2001 Police Interceptor, new PICS on Page 11! Reply #73 – January 26, 2008, 12:16:22 PM It does! :D A lot better then a 5.4 too...I'm living with the 4.6 until it explodes, and if/when it does I don't know what I'll do. Part of me thinks 351, but the other half screams LS1 (I know, I know). I'm itching to see what it does at the track though... Quote Selected
