Things you do for your parents (85-tbird)

I changed out the heater core in my moms 1985 thunderbird.  Was not as bad as I thought it would be.  Very glad member share information on here and on CoolCats.  I started at 07:00 and finished around 14:30.

Yes it's not that bad once you get in there,  label your screws,  and just take your time
It is a pretty daunting job though

I just noticed we have the same seat covers lol,  mine are starting to look a little rough especially the drivers seat cover.

Yep only one left over, I put down a blanket on the ground and put screws with panels and tried to get things separated, I think it goes to the pocket above the radio.  No rattles, so she is good.
