    The later models have a plug on the side/end of the webbing...the early trunk lid doesn't.

    Painted a little bit.....Pay no attention to anything but the dash, everything else will be changing, including the steering wheel color.

    I did an appraisal on an F40 a while back. It previously belonged to Reggie Jackson. Was an amazing car.

    1972 mercury comet with a maverick front end. It has a 1992 5.0 motor in it.
    Got off my dead butt and put the resevoir in for ny t5 tran and got it bleed. All i need to do is hook the throttle cable up and she is ready after 2 years of procrastinating. Well it may take me awhile to do the rest...........lol. I don't want to get in a hurry.
