Replaced/repaired all damage.

Substituted heavy duty black rubber mats all around for daily driving. I stored the green carpet ones that came with the car.

Installed a hidden FM antenna. It is completely invisible from the outside due to the factory window tint. It's not noticeable from the inside unless you're looking for it. If you're really ambitious, you could tuck it under the headliner and it would be totally invisible. It doesn't receive AM, but I never listen to that anyway so I don't care.

Custom white gauge faces by Scott Hrbacek The lighted photos below are his (used with permission), my initial efforts to photograph mine were, shall we say, less than optimal. need photos Note the difference in needle color (mine are more reddish, a good match to the flames) and the speedometer (mine is marked in kph for Europe. Scott also made a speedo face in mph for me, for use in USA).

Highly recommended! He has a number of other styles available and will do custom work as well. He can be reached at slhrbacek@yahoo.com

Installed SuperCoupe foglamp switch in center console. need photo

Substituted panoramic mirror from Lanechanger. Unlike many of the aftermarket accessories you see advertised, this one is really useful!

Pulled 3d brake light off rear deck (wing has a brake light, and you couldn't see the stock one through the tinted window anyway).

Installed Ford cargo net in trunk.

Mobile Electronics:

Substituted Denon DCR-670RD head unit. (Sorry about the cut off picture, I'll try to take another soon). AM/FM/Cassette, plus controls for (Denon) 12-disc CD changer in the trunk. Perfect for the US or Europe: channel interval adjusts, traffic report override, display shows additional data if radio station is sending a data stream. Excellent head unit, but the CD changer is lousy! It has no memory buffer, so every bump makes the music skip. And it seems to have no shock absorption -- this is the only CD player I've ever seen that actually scratches the discs to where they won't play anymore! And that's with stock tires and suspension.

Pioneer TS-A6880R 6"x8" 4-way speakers from Crutchfield. Simple drop-in replacement for stock speakers. Sound great.

Future Plans: In no particular order.

1) Repair all body damage (luckily, most of it's under the nose bra :)
2) Paint entire vehicle. ($$$, Ouch! But there's too much damage to do it any other way.)

3) Replace stock "V8" badges (left) with different style (right). I already have the new badges, but I'm waiting to finish the body work and re-paint.

4) Add gas lifting struts to trunk -- installing the wing made it much heavier (too easy to slam closed and break the taillight assemblies).
5) Substitute SuperCoupe tail/brake light assemblies with reflector stip for my stock LX "black plastic strip" style.
6) Re-tint windows to darker shade, but ONLY IF I can figure out a way to strip the current tint from the rear window without damaging the defroster lines...
7) Shave the Ford emblem from trunk lid.
8) Smooth the OEM antenna.
9) Cover the rear deck with something - the original is too faded.
10) Maybe smooth lines.
11) Maybe smooth trunk lock.
12) Substitute "paintable" color door handles/locks from '97 LX model.
13) Substitute 17" wheels & 245/50R17 tires.
14) Substitute '96-'97 headlamp/corner lights, then...
15) Substitute hood to fit new headlamps & corners. Haven't decided upon OEM or a custom style.
