Yep Frankenstang got my old steering column & wheel from my 87 that where just taking up space in my garage. I upgraded mine to a tilt column and the sexy 3 oval/ SVO style wheel. Just for general knowlege this wheel was avaliable in Capri & Mustangs 84 - 86 not sure what other Ford products.

I passed up one of those in the jy because i had no clue how rare/expensive those had become. I hate myself.

I think I may have changed my mind on how I want to paint the car. I think I'm going to do a **** load of body work then get it painted professionally. Either gloss black or some kind of blue. I'm thinking maybe Twilight or Sonic blue.

Hey Lynn, drive that thing out here and I'll drop a shade of blue on it that will have you drooling from multiple locations!

Sonic blue is nice but too loud for my tastes.

May I suggest a similar but more understated shade, such as Toyota's Blue Ribbon Metallic or Chevy's Arrival Blue Metallic

Toyota:


Edit: removed picture of chevy because the color is way crappier than i remember it from when i worked for a chevy dealer back in 02-03. The toyota blue is still sweet.

I don't care how pretty Chevy or Toyota blues are I will NOT shroud my Mercury in it!
