just got it home....  man does it ride nice.  has a big rust bubble that formed on the passenger side door that I will address this weekend, but other then that...  I missed this car.  Drove it home and got lost.  took the senic route and drove for almost 1.5hours and not a single problem.

Slightly off topic -  Is there any issue in getting a car across the border, one way or the other?

Back on topic, +1 on the wheels.

I dont think it is much of a hassle for a canadian car to go south, (less restrictions in the states)  but there is a bit of red tape for an american car to come here....  nothing major though. (depending on the year)

Wait till you see the rims tomorrow...  I just picked up a cordless drill and mothers power ball and am going to polish these babies up....

started polishing the rims yesterday.  had to take off and do other things so I only got one done.  This was the worst rim and I did only the first step so far as I have to take off and do some other stuff right now, but I am very impressed so far:
Before:



After:



not perfect yet, but a hell of a lot better then they have ever been...

aside from needing a headliner and possibly a colour change....  yes.  the interior is in very nice shape for its age.  especially since it was a texas car most its life too.

Did you swap the speedo or is that something that all cars from the U.S. have done ?

Holy  almost 118K miles and it still looks like that???
I love red too. That was my favorite thing about my cougar when I got it

You and Dan need to get together and show your black and white cats.

...I wonder what would happen if they had kittens:rollin:

A 5.0?

A front license plate?

A color matched hood?

Headlights that aren't crooked?

A hood liner?

A body kit?

A tranny cooler?

Oh, of course, a hood ornament
