What did you do with the old seats?? I would like a set of the halo head rests...I think they are cool!

BTW, looks good. Was there never an interior in there, or in the pictures did you already yank it all out?

I think 1992 was the last year of the 85 MPH display.......someone correct me if I am wrong.

Luckily Fords part division produced 140mph speedo's that looked identical to the stock 85mph units. I got my hands on a rare one for '83/'84.
Where have I been? Not everyone here is 25+ years old

There was originally interior with the car, it was old and crappy, and the wiring harness was bad.

So I took it out years ago, and let the car sit for a long time with nothing in it.

I still have the old 2 front seats, but they aren't in the best condition.
