Whose shift indicator is still this bright orange?
Ok, this may look like a déjà-vu. Yes, I did this once before, though I applied the orange paint from below the translucent indicator (after removing the faded color from the top).
That ended up making the indicator almost invisible during the day, so I opened it back up and applied the orange to the top .

How is your plastic trim still so supple?
But...how rare are Taurus manual seat tracks? And wouldn't they swap over?
You need to pick up the side trim pieces as well .. with no buttons.![]()
Now that you have those open button holes in the seat trim you can install your hidden nitrous switches there!Went to the JY today and scored a set of manual seat rails for the bird. Swapped em out already and got some weights for you guys. I’m not sure how accurate my scale is but here it is. Also weighed the bottom and back rest of the driver seat since I had it apart.

34 years ago today my US Army unit was alerted for deployment to Panama for Operation Just Cause. This morning I added something to my '96 to keep fresh in my mind the events of Dec 1989 - Jan 1990 and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country in Panama.View attachment 2638
Curious where you got your replacement mast from? When I got my car the power antenna didn't work. I put a new mast in from theantennasource.com. That failed about a year later and then I put another one in from the same place. Now it goes about halfway up. I've considered just putting a stationary mast in, but the cool factor of watching the antenna go up when the radio is turned on is too much for me. If I could find a good Ford NOS mast I'd pay the extra money for it, but I've had a hard time verifying the proper part number.
Is that the bumper cover? More pics please. Where did you find replacement? Color a good match?
