Paint is always the last on my list and my car looks way worse than yours. If you are worried about the looks just piant you header panel and bumper cover.

Looks better then mine too. I think you should do some engine work.

Most people just open the pic in MS paint and block out the number plate. Personally, I don't think it's a big deal. After all, everybody in your city can see the number plate anyb time they want to...

I agree with Claude.  Speed is no good to you unless you can safely and efficiently put it to the ground.  Plus, it will be more fun to drive either way.

Ok, I see I have a lot of work to do to my '86 now.

If you want to paint that header panel and bumper, get a couple cans of gloss black spray paint. Spay it and then wet-sand it smooth and polish it up. You won't be able to tell that you went this route with the paint and it'll only cost about $10.

I voted for springs. It's a two for one deal. Handling (assuming you are getting new shocks/struts) and looks. Those wheels look really good. Nice Cougar. :D

, man.  I only took one seat out to install my console.

I must say, your car is very nice & clean.  I bet you could rattle-can the front end and make it look almost like it matches.  Very nice, indeed.
