Picked up the new tires yesterday but I need to get them dismounted and give the wheels back to my friend. 195/65/14 I believe.
Still charging it back up. I should have disconnected the battery, as something was draining it over the couple months of sitting.

I think that was all just the bad alternator/volt regulator. I drove it from Detroit back to the Twin Cities in May so it seems to be working. Just curious what your fix was though?

It cleans out your fuel system.

Absolutely love your car. More of a 2nd Gen guy myself, only ever had one 1st Gen ('89 GT). But I actually like your car more than the look of any other 1st Gen I've ever seen (stock or modified)! Your paint schemes are great lol!
Oh, and I'm stealing your fixed position headlights /bumper cutout idea. :P I had been going the usual route of trying to shoehorn headlights into the small vertical area (when closed) of the stock location. The method pictured in your sketch makes much more sense. My only wonder is how much it will limit lighting to the sides near the car (easily rectified with secondary driving lights installed in the bumper tho).

Hey, thanks! I'm more of a VW guy at heart but couldn't pass up another Ford for the price. I hope you can get the headlight thing to work because there's a bracket (for the bumper??) and the bumper mount blocking the headlight from being lowered vertically.
So, I've been looking for other solutions. Someone on my local forum suggested '94 Olds Cutlass headlights and I think that may work. Otherwise, perhaps some quad square sealed beams, early 80's style. The low beams would go up top and the high beams in the grille area like fog lights.
