Thank you Bryan,Does your rear neon work? Is the driver side seat trim broken? Center console spring still intact? How about the cup holder wings?
So far i have been reading and taking it one step at a time. I wasted some money on things i tried, but that's life.
rear neon: I have tail lights, but i have not checked to see if they are original neon. I also understand that the headlight bulbs are hard to find. I thought the were HID/XENON. Is there something special about the voltage or plug?
driver side seat trim: The front screw hole is broken and i may have damaged one of the hold downs while working on my seat motor.
Center console spring: I do not think so. Where should i be careful?
cup holder wings: one is missing the other is missing its bottom. Is it possible to remove the cup holder and just leave an opening (maybe make a pocket?). I liked the cup holder on the center console hatch that I had in the Cougar. I was thinking of looking to see if I can adapt it.
Other:
I have replaced the multi-function switch.
I made and installed a replacement gear shifter slide cover.
I have a new "Air Door Actuator" http://www.amazon.com/Dorman-604-915-Air-Door-Actuator/dp/B00YJEZX7S but i have not yet installed it. It looks like this one is not the same design as those in the positings that I have seen. I 'm hoping its stronger. I also plan to modify the arm by elongating the bottom hole like in one of the postings.
Driver's Seat Track: I have tried a motor refresh and have replaced the middle motor. I am waiting for a "new" track and am looking at other other options like using the gearing form the Cougar and the motors or back-plate from the Mark.
Air shocks: I understand that the air ride system can be an issue. I bought an extended warranty with the car and it says that it covers Air shocks. I hope i do not have to use it.
Is there anything else i should plan for (worry about)?
I took my midget out yesterday and its such a fun experience going from such a big to such a small car and back again...
I have begun parting out my Cougar.:frown-blue:
