Just in time... DUW

I think if I waited another week the leaves would've been gone.

This car really has come a long way from sitting abandoned behind a body shop.











Here's new interior pics. I decided to go back factory (almost) all grey in the interior, I put in new carpet from ACC, and a 3 spoke wheel from a Mercury Capri.





This is what it looked like in March of 2007 when me and my dad bought it for 475.00, and pulled it home with a tow rope. The only saving grace was that it was a straight, rust free California car with a clear title. It didn't have keys though.

You stuck a 70mm MAF housing and F2VF sensor on didn't you? How do you like it? ;)

Well it wasn't working to start with, but it went away for good when I converted it to MAF. 88+ Mark VIIs run the cruise control through the engine computer.

It's working out just how I thought it would. I definitely recommend it for a cheap upgrade. ;)

You mean the control module functions are IN the ECU?
My Cougar runs the cruise through the ECU -- still works after a SD HO conversion and then a MAF conversion....

Yep, the cruise functions are in the engine computer. Why they did it, I have no idea.

I know some people who did the MAF conversion that have two ECMs just to keep the cruise. One to run the engine and the other just to run the cruise.
