Striving for perfection. Car has been dropped off for paint: http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=28539
In order to achieve perfection; finding the following parts will make it easier.
The parts needed are for a 1987 Cougar.
The list:
[SIZE="5"]1.[/SIZE] Window trim from an 87-88 XR7 -- all of it. Front, Rear, and sides.
[SIZE="5"]2.[/SIZE] Outer turn markers. Again. IN PERFECT CONDITION. None of that "good enough" stuff. I have better than good enough. I want perfect.
[SIZE="5"]3.[/SIZE] Illuminated Door lock cylinders WITH BLACK FINISH from 87-88 T-bird Turbo Coupe/Sport.
I can not stress enough that I'm looking for as close to new/unused pieces as is possible. Most of you know that I pay upfront and willingly for items in the right condition. I don't mean to come off sounding like a pain in the ass here, but I want this resto done right proper.
I might have a door for you I'll let go cheap. Let me go and see if it is in good enough shape.
Have a couple of door dings, light surface rust on the bottoms. If your still interested, I'll take some pics, but I don't think its what your looking for.
ran the dealer locator-no nos outer plamps anywhere,
including greens ,vintage and kinsel--irv
I may have a lead on those. I'll keep you posted ;)
Still looking for the door and the trim as well!
if and when i ever sell my 88 i have a complete set of
all front lamps[nos] that i will get rid of along with a
lot of other nos stuff. good luck on the hunt.
Here's a little something I found today.Grab 'em while you can,Paul.....

Bumpage. E-mail me at Paul_Flockhart@hotmail.com. I've not been on here much as of late.....
Did the lights I posted not work for you?
if your rear window mldgs are just faded you can refinish
them. i did mine.
Yeah, it's just faded. I pried it up a bit.....Gonna come out real easy. I was afraid of damaging it, but it appears that won't be the case. I'll be re-using my old door. Needs minor work on the inside along the bottom, but compared to everything else I've seen it's the best option. Still looking for a good set of turn signals and inner markers.....good as in NEW or NOS or perfect.
Paul,did you check the links I posted? They are new lights I believe,and affordable.
I checked about a week after you posted.....Most of it is gone. I'm gonna call them direct as they have their own website separate from ebay.
I figured that was the cheapest one could find for new lights. I hope it works for you.I'll do some looking.
Here's two of them.Contact them,maybe they'll cut you a deal to buy both.Who knows?

I'll see what I can find.At least you're two parts closer.

stuff .--irv
