Fixes for the Lincoln-

As you might suppose with a 15 year old car, there are a few things that need my attention before I'm completely happy with it. The driver side leather seat cover is pretty damaged on the bolster and the BSU has directed me to find a seat cover to improve the seat's appearance. So there's that.

She has also directed that I purchase a replacement wood trim kit for the interior as the one that is in there is seperating and doesn't look wonderful. She wants it replaced so I suppose I'll have to do that over the upcoming weeks.

And finally for now, the headlights really are the weakest link in this model car. I have to fix the one that tips but it has been too cold outside to tear anything apart. And some different bulbs, perhaps even a HID conversion might be in order to get enough brightness out in front to satisfy me. Lousy headlights have always been one of my biggest gripes and this Lincoln really takes the gold medal for lousy in my experience. So as soon as I get some time and weather I will be working on them.

Oh yeah, it seems to have an exhaust leak somewhere up front that will need attention to as soon as I can get it into the muffler shop.
