    1984 Ford LTD CV

    Might as well make a thread for my kittybox

    Bought it just over a week ago from an older woman for 200 CAD, very good mechanical condition, only needed shocks, tires, and rubber brake hoses at the front corners, got those fixed at the shop at employee rate at the tire/mech shop i work at, 250 bucks, and she'll be ready for the road soon.

    What i know so far about it is, its a 302 2bbl, the trans code says "TGM44" I'm guessing an AOD. 3.55 open rear (code 2 i believe)

    the car is the most basic of basic CVs, no AC, no tilt, no power seats, or windows, had just an AM radio, and no rear speakers.

    Anyway, over the last few days i've been working on it, I painted it up a bit, put new filters (crankcase and air), PCV Valve and plugs, more to be replaced in future. also will have glasspacks on its stock dual exhaust system.

    anyway, on to the pics.

    how i bought it:


    after a better set of tires:

    then the painting began:





    another concept photoshop by a friend, might accually do this:

    I thought about that last paint scheme on my car, believe it or not.

    Good luck with future projects, and welcome to the forum.

                    Looks good so far, will look even better when you get rid of the rust.

                          I agree totally about the hood paint. I may have to borrow that idea for my Marquis if you don't mind.
