She's a little filthy from sitting under a tree, but it's been under forty degrees since I bought her, not freezing to wash her...

Not to shabby! Some wheels, some new headlights, and a good wax, she will look fabulous!

Looks really good! Can't believe the price on her, that's a heckuva deal for a running one. That's the body style that I like - before they rounded everything out. Enjoy!

Not too much planned, other than comfort/convenience... I have a stereo that I plan on adding, but I'm not planning anything big...

IF I have to replace all four struts, and IF for some reason, drop springs were placed on to make them a quick strut, I would be all for it...

IF for some reason, I had to replace a wheel, and IF I found a set of four from a newer Taurus/fusion/freestyle, I wouldn't complain...

And IF my exhaust became damaged somehow(not rusty now but stuff happens), and needed replaced, I already have all the components to do it, so all I would need would be pipe...


All theoreticals aside, IF it warms up for a day or two while I'm not working, I may wash her and buff the headlights, but that's about it for now...

Not a bad deal at all, man. As for the headlights, just wet a wash rag real good and dump some baking soda on it and make a paste. Then, just wet the headlights and scrub the hell out of them for about two minutes with the baking soda paste. Rinse them off and go get some Meguiars Plastx and follow the directions. Cheap and easy way to get 100% improvement in the lights.

I washed the car the other day, got tired of explaining to people that I hadn't washed it yet... Then, on Sunday, I was on my way home from work and the radio would pick up nothing but static(local rock stations) and gospel music/live church broadcasts(other stations)... I changed out the stock radio as soon as I got home, lol...

There are actually a couple good stations, but that morning they weren't coming in for some reasons... All I could get were church broadcasts...
