my 88 T-Bird

I bought this car off of E-Bay about a year ago and I've been slowly working on her since. I owned one about 10 years ago, same car and motor, but something is different. I've been trying to find the origanol
owner of the first one I bought to see what he did to it.
I've changed the wires, sparkplugs, alt., put in straight(?) pipe instead of
the grandma pipes that were there (i've got to have noise). New tires and filters all around, cleaned the engine, and still working on the interior.
I'll post a picture of her on my website soon, I've been rather busy sanding, priming the heck out of it, love it though !

?Does anybody know how to put the trunk springs back on without breaking my face or fingers, I've just about blackeyed myself trying.
