1. Probably a bad temp switch. There are two I think for all Gen Ones. Located on the crossover tube you will find one on the driver's side, this reports to the gauge and the other side to computer. So you are either getting fale readings and it is NOT overheating OR the fan is not kicking in because it is not told to at the right time. I drove around for two months without a cooling fan and it air-cooled just fine. As other have said, these care a VERY capable of cooling themselves.
2. Where the driver bags leaking? How about the backs? Where is the air going?
3. Ford sill has the part to keep the lid closed, in all colors. $12 or so I think.
4. Nothing new, but used is a good bed or have it reupholstered.
5. So you are leaving back to MN? Its going to be hard to help out on somethings if you cant get to it.

From time to time you can find seats on eBay.. Usually go for around $100+ depending upon the condition.

There are people who do upholstery seats all over the US.

There is a guy on eBay who is constantly parting out Mark VIII's Mopar69 I think is his user name. He may have seats for you.

Let me know if you need rear air bags...I'm not far from MN...

thanks guys for the quick respnse and by the way where would i get the kit for the jmod that i hear about so much ?

No kit really. However someone may sell the pre-fabed separator plate. Its really easy, just remove the separator plate and drill some holes a bit bigger with NEW bits. I was more worried about getting the torques sequence right on the valve body then the JMod. But honestly, lets get the car going before ya dive into the JMod!

I live in Minnesota, My mark is going to get a conversion to springs because the front bags on my car are shot but the rears are fine. My cars sitting in the garage with its nose on the ground and its but in the air. If you're interested I'd be willing to part with the rear bags.
