I got a complete set of 94 trim for my car and its already titanium. I am going to put it on the car when I repaint it this summer. I am going to paint the whole car a bright silver or maybe make it a 35th clone. Not sure yet but thats my two top choices.

$9.00 for all 4 pieces of trim and a vinyl THUNDERBIRD owners manual case. I'm going to put my registration and insurance paperwork in that. I also got a hold down for the batteries in both my SC's (couldn't pass tech at the track w/o a hold down).

I was looking for 15" fan blade LX wheels but none were there. They did have a red 92 LX w/ good hood and bumpers and fenders up front. They had a tan 93 LX w/ good front end and bumper, (I would like the bumper but have no where to store it, plus I want to try and fix my SC bumper cuz its original and has SC in the middle of the front tag spot.)

I did however find a ton of 15" Cougar LX wheels, the twisted multi spoke sets. I think I'll go back and buy two of them. They told me I can get the tires removed and they'll buy them back from me. I think they are missing center caps, but I don't care, they will be used to mount 26x10.50x15" ET Streets for the track and cruise night.

And as I was leaving a black Lincoln Mark 8 was being fork lifted in, so there is a complete aluminum driveshaft, control arms, and rear diff, ripe for the picking. I would love that stuff also........ Maybe I'll ship it back to MI. I just don't have the tools to remove it, I only have a small socket set, a crescent wrench, and a few pairs of slip joint and needle nose pliers and a screw driver w/ a two way bit. My big tool box is sitting in my parents garage in MI.

if you need fan blade wheels, my friend is upgrading to 03 cobra style rims on his 96 LX tbird. he'd probably get rid of them super cheap.

This might work out good, his tires are almost bald. I'll give him a call soon.

If I don't get the 15" cougar wheels I might just try to get two more 16" SC wheels off ebay. I still think slicks are cheaper for the 15" wheels.

I need to know soon. I'm moving back to Michigan in about 3 weeks. Already gave the job notice.

Nevermind then, he's still trying to save up for the tires on his new rims anyway.
