did they pull that out of a lake? ;)
 






nope, just sat for a couple years, in the Washington rain, and moss...with the rear driver side door window down a little, and for the last year, the rear glass was taken, as my sister broke the glass in her OTHER Explorer....

Here are more pics of it, once we limped it home with it's bad 4.0L (sister blew a HG, ran it low on coolant, and cracked the block)

Somewhere between swapping out the lights, and shaving the doors I swapped out most of the interior. From the 1992 Blue, to a 1993 Grey. I also swapped in some Leather Seats from a Limited. In addition to that I also installed an Over Head Console.....

I have yet to install my carpet, as it needs to be out of the way for my Stereo install.

Sounds like you have a nice project going on for you. The "cleaned up" pictures were actually amazing to see how nice it looked after looking like it did. Good work so far!

Thanks!

Hopefully after the house work is completed (does it EVER end?) I can start on my speaker box....

I have 2 MTX 9500 Subs, and 2 MTX 81001 Amps to go in here....it should have a little bass........LOL

It's actually an EE Airdam.......modeled after the Ltd....

I do have the fog lamps already, complete with Silverstar bulbs to match my Headlamps, but I need to get the chrome bumper aligned properly, THEN I'll mount the lamps....

When are we all going to get together again?
