I dragged the old LTD II out today from its peaceful 15 or 16 year slumber.
Ill be documenting progress in this thread for anyone who might actually care about a smog era somewhat restoration...
Base vehicle...
77 LTD II 351W/FMX/9in rear (2.50 ratio)
Plans....in no order of importance....
1- Go through wiring and make sure its not mouse food
2- Get engine running
3- Touch up rust spots and other paint issues
4- Find decent used bumpers (mostly rear)
5- New headliner
6-New carpet
7- Try to get seat tears fixed
8- Replace the AM radio with a factory AM/FM mono radio
9- New tires/Shine rims
10-Straighten/replace (if i can find any) rocker moldings
11- fuel tank/lines
12- probably brake lines (although at quick glance they seem pretty good yet)
13- Whatever other shit i run across.
14- Seatbelts,
Its going to be a long term project for sure. Goal is not a show car, but a good reliable cruiser.
Any and all comments, input, and criticalness is welcome.
