same front bumper as this one
and the current ones on it now
They 'glass bumper is from a '78-'83 Ford Fairmont (foxbody), the size and look is almost identical to what's on the car now, just minus the rubber on it.
And probably this front spoiler to start out with.

all of the interior except for the dash and steering wheel+column is now out, however it's resting inside the car for now. Time it took = 5 hours. I'm now officially at the point I was with my other M- about 4 years ago.
the remote hood latch release is gone too, as is the engine harness and that Craptastic Lean Burn system.
And tomarrow I'll have a charged camera battery to take more pictures with.....as well as some pictures taken of me destroying the Lean Burn with a hammer.

I also did a quick Steering angle test......unless I run a bigger offset, I'm gonna hit the subframe while stock. I'm already preparing for this by getting 2" longer control arms for next time I'm back.
and the front bumper on that Imperial Limo looks familiar.....

there goes my plans for today, rain really sucks trying to work on a car in the open. I think I'll invest in a EZ-up like many of ya'll have and put tarps running down it to keep the rain out.
so I'm thinking about heading to ATL today instead.

hmmm.....
current debate in my head.
318 with twin turbos?
or a high revving 383?
I blame Epik's engine parts F/S post for getting me to think about this again.
