The Fila Project... Wondering why Fila was banned? Read the last few pages

I kinda kept it quite, but this week I was kicking ass on the Fila. With the help of Ifixyawata, I got a set of 10 holes and new tires, put a new starter in it and fixed the starting problem. I installed the Pyrmid Amp in the car and thinned out the wiring harness and Vac lines. While he was here, Ifixyawata and I took the Fila for a spin and did her first little brakestand. Not much, but enough. I know you guys are pic w's :pics-stfu:  so I'll have pics up as soon as it's light tomorow.

The best and easiest way to say it is that it's a "uncommon" option package on a T-bird for 84-85.  I do want the Fila book, but next paycheck, I promise

Yeah, its an apperance package that wasn't too common.  Sort of like the Levi's editions they had of certain cars.

...Or like the "Eddie Bauer" Explorers. It was a package developed along with the Fila company. Generally the Fila was fully loaded and had unique paint and emblems.

I was told by a less then smart freind that my Vic had a HO in it and all sorts of stuff. So I said to the amount of " .. it's faster then a reg. Vic. It has a 5.0 with 24o hp, 300tq...." or something like that. And now it haunts me everyday.
