good deal. AC work isn't the big scary demon people make it out to be. Needs some special equipment and knowledge but it usually only gets real...

I like the chassis and the driveline, its just the blob shape doesn't quite do it for me, but I feel that way about all the 90s jellybean cars. Its...

A Mk VIII is a far cry from the 70s Marks and 80s Tudors. The design just doesn't seem very Lincoln-like, unlike the aero Town Car. But I guess the...

I got some used, and some new, but I doubt if I will put a cassette deck in Escort. There's not enough space for the cassettes in the car. Moving...

That’s fine by me. I’m still buttoning up the many little things on my CV project. Honestly, I’m just glad that I don’t have to go to the junkyard

I remember the commercials from the early-90s when the Mark VIII was introduced that were narrated by Jeff Goldblum, "The 300-horsepower, 32-valve,...

I do have it but the car still runs & drives don't want to make it immobile. If you can wait a few weeks I'll be removing the drivetrain then I will...

While waiting for the primer to settle, finished the resto of the rear dome lamp from chrome to black and green.

If you still have this car; and the AOD; do you still have the shift linkage? Or just the rod that connects to the shift lever on the AOD (pictured)?

If you cut the rod (the one hanging off the side of the AOD in the pic) in half; then I guess not. I chose not to cut the rod and instead, cut the...

FIXED Ended up paying 80 bucks for the repair(here in PR) and I provided the part which I bought from Amazon for $36 including shipping. A/C has...

Going to be really busy between landscaping and starting electrical trade work, so I'm doubtful. But I'm in touch a couple times per week. Just ran...

Super cool! Well worth the trip to get her I say. Reminds me of the '86 my buddy in PA saw at a car show a few years back. Getting '03+ frame swap...

Don't do the floor shifter. They look chintzy. Mustang Eddie was parking out an 89. Probably has one if he still has the car....

For $4250, sure seems like a damn good deal. Love the color scheme, has the ultra rare optional floof roof. Was in a fender bender at some point...

yeah... that close up shot (didn't see that) shows definitely non-factory trim.

DOH! Maybe WagonMan has one?

85 is plenty. 100 or 120 would be perfect. For 95% of the freeways in the states, 70 is the legal speed limit. I used to do 79 all the time until...

Ah, my grandpa had a '96. Half ton, regular cab, long box, straight six, five speed XLT he bought brand new. Fond memories of that thing, last saw...

I am semi serious about a '95 or '96... But yeah, I'm just not sure how expensive they are to maintain. Doesn't look like a vehicle I'd be doing...

Hmmm... I had to pick up my sister and I did try the e-brake. But I'm not sure, it seemed to pulsate a bit once or twice, but couldn't really get a...

That looks like the bushing mentioned here. If it's true that there's "too much movement", you'll need that too. Installing it requires you to remove...
