Ok, I think I found all the parts to the car. LOL

I will now display them for all to see. LOL










I'm still up in the air about what front bumper to put on.
One of these, or the TC Bumper.


more parts used from the parts bird


Looks like I need to drill some holes in my new frame.




A couple more pics of the car.
It's weird seeing fenders and things on it again. LOL
I just stood there for about 15 minutes and stared at it today.
that cardboard box that's always leaning against the car has all my window moulding and door stuff






I guess i have some cleaning to do.


anyone need a computer from a 87 3.8? brand new, only about 200 miles of use on it back in 2003
I also have the NAPA code reference card for it.


Looks like I'll be bolting things and cleaning things tomorrow. :D

I'd stick the Cougar front that originally came on the car back on it but that's just me ;)

It's nice to see it back in more or less 1 piece :D

I can relate to losing parts, it took me a while to find all my window trim. I hid it away so it wouldn't get stepped on or get overspray on it, but forgot where I hid it :hick: I never did find the door insulation...

As for bumper covers, I'd go with the TC one for the fog light cutouts. I'm saying that without having to actually do it myself, though, since the grille would have to be modified

That front license tag on the one is a keeper.

today I started bolting things together for a test run.




I used the TC bumper to see what  it would look like.




Then I put the original front end back on .


I'm not sure which one to use. :hick:

I like the TC bumper cover,but on a T-Bird.On a Cougar,I never thought they looked wuite right.I have wondered,if,one could cut the foglight openings from the TC bumper and graft them into the Cougar bumper cover.It would be one of a kind,and I think it would look great.They have adhesives made for that kind of work.

What did you do to make the grille fit? I just think it looks odd with the TC bumper bc its so pointy.

Very true.The T-Bird bumper cover is pointy,but it was made to match the angles of the TC header panel as well.Again,graft in the TC fog light openings and mount some lights.....sweeeeeeeeeeet !!!!
