I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Very impressed w/the interior change not that I’m a fan of it but he made it look right. I'm sure a lot of guy would like to know how he pulled it off. But the headlights are a JY special.

I wonder if the pics of the interior are not of a TBird but a whole other car.

SVO headlights.....Absolutely not the interior of that car.  Zoom in on the pic of the car from the front and you can tell.

The rear shot you can see the 85-88 dash with a black cover on it. That interior pic is from a 96-97  T-bird/cougar.  The headlights look to be some of those Replacement Sealed beam type units. The one that take just the bulb not the whole unit. Like what the car came with.

Weird, first thought is I hate the headlights, but the more I look at it the more it kinda grows on me. (I've really got some messed up taste don't I?) Must be cuz it reminds me of the SVO which I like a lot. A *little* too far recessed LOL but if it was a little more shallow I think it would be cool

It would help if they weren't 6" too narrow for the opening. Still, if you want a 4-eye, buy one.
