Trying to find out if I can raid this huge junk yard to find compatible parts for this vehicle. I know I can use a Lincoln Mark VIII fan, which this vehicle could really use, but I understand some room needs to be made. Will be a fun project.
I'm also looking for seats. Word on the Internet is that some Escort's seats might fit down in the and on the rails with minimal drilling. Any other ideas for that? The leather on mine is shot.
Hood scoops. Holy crap - these things are $200 on Ebay. Anyone have luck making their own out of fiberglass? I do body work, but this seems like it might be a real mess if I try it myself.
Motor mounts. I can get some cheap new one's from Napa for like $40 each, but was wondering if anyone has had luck making their own or finding compatible mounts in other modular-factory-made engine bays.
I haven't done much to it except put some cheap, temporary replacement engine accessories just to keep it running. I'll be looking at pulleys next, would be nice to know if I can underdrive any of those accessories with pulleys from parts on another vehicle.
Sorry, if this sounds like I'm being a cheapskate, it's because I am. I grew up on ranches and firmly believe that if its a part I can fabricate or rob from another vehicle then it belongs in mine.
