Power windows are a nightmare waiting to happen, and totally unnecessary in a two-door car. Power seats, maybe. Power locks, also a waste of time in a two-door car. Just throw in the power plant, get a better door panel, and drive that sucker. From the pics, it looks relatively presentable. May look dang good, can't tell. I'm so looking forward to your progress on this car Mike, congrats!!!
I was just thinking about what I could do to cover up the rips in the doorpanels without really costing any money (the p/s looks similar) ... not coming up with any bright ideas yet, but you never know.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

hehe - kind of have to have regular access to the car to get good pics of it..... should probably do something about the Burning Country Squire in the sig, though.
Edit: Will this change do for now? :pLast edited by 1987cp; 02-15-2008, 08:18 AM.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

However, the earlier AOD's also used some sort of weird rear-lube system that seems to be responsible for various failures(I can't remember what they are, lol, I only mess with the later trannies), and was phased out around the 1986-87 model year.
Concerning the door panel....It's not too terribly difficult to redo the door panels, I have designed and built several custom sets for customer vehicles when I worked at an upholstery shop many moons ago. I think I even have an idea for covering up the damage on that door, and retaining most of the original door panel.
Nice project, by the way.Last edited by Guest; 02-15-2008, 11:00 AM.

This may not be the place for this, but do you know why Tom wants crank windows Mike?
And no, I couldn't pay for that motor even though it'd be fun, I was just kinda asking what you had planned on doing with it and suggested things that I thought would be fun to do with it.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)
