Rebirth Reply #30 – January 24, 2012, 12:13:29 PM The tranny was done in 1997 so who knows what was going on back then WRT whoever manufactured it. Remember; I bought this car on Jan. 1st, 1998.... Quote Selected
Rebirth Reply #31 – January 24, 2012, 01:22:45 PM Quote from: V8Demon;378621BTW -- This car is actually an LS with preferred equipment package 163a from the factory. THis car left the factory with just about every option imagineable including the 10 inch rear drums. Funny thing is that it is a consolette car and was sold with the 14 inch wire wheels..... Quote from: ZondaC12;378622 Interesting with the trim too, so many LS's had the wire covers though, harking back to the 20s/30s luxury or whatever LOL. Definitely a pretty sweet overall setup you have.My T-bird has every option but a sunroof and it was a consolette and wire wheel car from the factory. Now it has Turbo Coupe wheels and a full console, but still the column shifter.I like the scoops in flat black. I think it works with the black paint. Now if the car was red not so much.

Rebirth Reply #32 – January 24, 2012, 01:28:54 PM Someone else here actually posted a pic with a TC hood and matte black scoops.....It's where I got the idea from originally. It wasn't red though......I'm in agreement. It won't work with most colors. The grille, center line on the belt moulding, and all the window trim will be matte black as well so it will flow nicely IMO. Quote Selected
Rebirth Reply #33 – January 24, 2012, 03:03:03 PM I like it. Is the grill going to stay matte black? Quote Selected

I don't remember exactly when...I could probably rifle through the papers and find it or maybe my mom would know, but that's the same year my dad bought the red car. It was actually for sale a mile down the main road from us. Quote Selected
Rebirth Reply #35 – January 29, 2012, 07:39:43 PM So.....did a bit of work yesterday....all the window Turin has been painted....save for ONE piece which has disappeared.....I'm missing the trim piece on the front side of the b pillar won tghei derisive side. I'll be needing one. the carpets is installed as well. Bad news is the car stopped running. Lost spark. looks like Another ignition module....5th one since I've had the car. I also found something I had stashed and forgot about. ELECTROLUMINESCENT COACH LAMPS. I think they are going on the car. I tested them. they work. Quote Selected
Rebirth Reply #37 – January 30, 2012, 02:47:31 PM I'm gonna need it. If you have both sides that would be awesome. PM me so we can get this rolling! Quote Selected
Rebirth Reply #38 – January 30, 2012, 03:12:06 PM Paul, the coach lamps use the larger bolt circle than the 1987 did. You'd have to drill a bunch of new holes in order to use them. Not an impossible task, just letting you know. Takes courage to drill a 1" circular hole in a freshly-painted C-pillar... Quote Selected

Know what wlse I found out? The corner/outer parking lamps?Yeah, $136 a piece from Ford.....I'll keep polishing mine, thanks. Quote Selected

I got some too... Still don't have the balls to try and put them on.... lolthink they are going inside of the vert in the back seat area Quote Selected
Rebirth Reply #44 – January 31, 2012, 07:45:45 AM All the glass is back in. I think I'm just gonna put the special edition emblems back on. I'd LOVE to do something with these coach lamps though..... Maybe replace the interior map lights? I still gotta play with my newfound no start condition. I've narrowed it to the module or distributor.....Anyway, here are some py pics. Wednesday I'll break out the DSLR. Quote Selected
