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 involved to do it right.

the fuse panel needs to come down so you can pop in the wiring.
we have all the diagrams but if you want it like oem, wash rense and repeat what you see on cars in the jy.

the wiring diagrams should not be that much different than 87/88 for these functions and the wiring layout should also be the same for how they dress in.
