Needs pass. power seat control cover replaced.  Pass. kick panel is all cracked up too.  AC blows cold.  Heater will roast you right out of there.  My insurance is less with the dual SRS.  This car is very smooth riding.

The Native Americans didn't know that the bones they found in the ground where the fossil remains of prehistoric marine reptiles.  So they would dance to call upon the Thunderbirds to protect them when they crossed the river waters.

Needs more body work, bottom quarter panel leading rear wheel well.  When you lift the door latch the keyless entry panel, key hole, and interior lights come on. Keyless entry will open only the driver's door, the pass. door, the trunk, and can be programed for different personal codes.  This car does not have the module for keyless remote.

Currently running a set of '96-'97 projection beam headlamps.  $50.00 for the pair, (Craigslist).  All the clips and fasteners are different than the '95.  So the header had to be changed too.  Which was broken in two pieces still attached to the headlamps.  Hence, the uneven gap between the hood, and the bumper cover.  The inboard curve on the hood along the lamps is different too.  So I'll run a '96-'97 hood.  However, those hoods do not have a peak line down the middle to match the line on the bumper cover right above the bird.  So that will all need to be modified.  Perhaps a Cobra R hood.

Hard to find blue interior parts.  Cracked and broken power seat control cover.  Driver's seat has a tear, and a small hole.  The shifter too is broken.  Oh, it works just fine.  Range selector indicator doesn't move, and I removed the safety cable so you don't need to step on the brake to move it, or the ignition key.  The escapement mechanism wore out so it was stuck in park.  That was 4 yrs. ago.

Driver's door needs a new top hinge pin.  Commen problem on the MN-12's.  Not too bad on this one.  But it will only get worse.

Pass. interior door panel kept seperating from the door.  Bottom clip broken.  After three attempts to bond the clip back to the panel, I finally ended up running a bead of RTV clear along the bottom.  Hasn't got hung up since. 3 yrs. ago.
