Swapped the Headliner out.
New Fuel Pump.
Removed Some of the Rust and repainted over it. ( Flat Black Spray paint )
2/28/11 - New Alternator, replaced the Original MotorCraft one that was 22 years old with a Duralast one from AutoZone with a lifetime warranty.
3/9/11 - New Thermostat.
3/14/11 - Wheelin
3/24/11 - Another new Thermostat. The one I got on 3/9/11 Malfunctioned and would cause my heater to get super hot then not blow at all, and other things. This one seems to be working like magic.
