Did you have any rust in the radiator support bracket. If so how did you deal with it?
Any problems with leaks around the windshield or rear fixed window seals?
Mine is a Burgundy Florida car and the top paint is pretty baked out. I am considering an entire repaint and mechanical restoration of the vehicle. I have 93K on mine. Any engine mods will be bolt on.
Just would like to enjoy it a few more years.
Seeing as the new models lack a V8 and are hideously complex and expensive, restorations make sense.
25% of my toolbox are wrenches and sockets found in the street or under my hood left by careless mechanics.
Mine had some surface rust that was wire wheeled off and rust preventative was sprayed into all the cavities. I live in FL and the Expedition has been in my family since new and garaged the majority of its life, so not really one that would have had much rust. Likewise, it's been babied and garaged, never any issues with window or windshield seals.
The socket there wasn't quite a careless mechanic, but I'll show the details in another post.
I found a factory subwoofer at the local pull a part for $7. Are all the 2000/1st gen models, pre wired for the Sub or do they use a different harness. I am only asking, because I see you just pulled the harness.
They're different. Even things as minor as the mirror turn signals are not wired in on XLTs but they are on EBs. I learned that the hard way and it'll be covered as the build progresses.
