Did some tinkering on the Sport...

Got some work done today on the Sport, the weather was beautiful. Got the manual drivers seat track on, the non cruise TC wheel, the halo headrests in. Got the magnaflow exhaust on, everything except the tailpipes. Now here something that will make you go hmmm. I used an h-pipe off a '95 Mustang, and didn't have to lengthen the flow tubes. The lers lined right up with the factory hangers.:burnout::burnout:

I want halo headrests... With the direction I am planning to go with black seats with white inserts I think I need to find a pair of sport buckets. And  to think there was a Fox Cougar in Pull-A-Part a few months ago that had a very salvagable set of sport bucket seats! Why did I not think to get them then? I guess because my initial plan was to use the original upholstry, but now I wanna make this car a much grander specticle than I had ever planned.

I've got a set of gray halo headrests out of an Escort GT.  PM if you're interested.

Dear Lord....what's ll over the bottom of the car? Slimy looking.Maybe it protects against rust.

Oh,I thought you were using tail pipes?

Didn't have time to get the tails on, will be putting them on when I change the rear springs and shocks. Yea, she's greasy, was very neglected before I bought her :punchballs:. She'll get fixed and cleaned up as I have time.:burnout:
