You'll recognize this car. First off I'd like to thank Kishy for getting the car ready for pickup and sending me pictures and videos of the car.
So, I bought the car on January 15 2023. Once the purchase was complete my dad and brother helped me put my extra set of turbines on the car, replaced the positive battery cable, added a battery hold down, and put on new wipers.
Now, the drive home. There wasnt any issues and the car made the 179 km journey home. I believe Kishy had only put around 10km on the car, and before that it was sitting.
Once home, we replaced the drivers side reverse light, passenger high beam, and the right turn signal bulb in the instrument cluster. The vents in the dash were then cleaned out. (mouse nest)
The next thing was the door locks, both drivers locked and unlocked fine, but the passener front would barely move and the passenger rear wouldn't move at all. Both door panels were then removed and the rods and latch assembly were lubed, working the switch from unlock to lock a few times seemed to do the trick once the lube was there and now all four doors lock and unlock.
Next, All four door strikers had no bushings. I used cut up pex pipe as new bushings and adjusted the drivers front door striker, all four close perfectly.
Added my emblems to the trunk lid since they were missing. (Some of these emblems i've had since I was 9 years old when my dad got rid of his 1986 Grand Marquis)
Last thing was putting the rest of the interior back in. Glove box, fuse box cover, and various trim was put back into place. Plan is to fix the floor correctly when spring arrives.
Now, before I do anything else I wanted to get the car in my name. That was done today. January 17,2023.
The plans for this car is undercoating it, upgrading to 3g alt, finding a grey package tray, trunk carpet, Jack and tire iron, spare tire and rim, and a 5.0 liter top cover.
