Same has happened to my car. I got it painted and then got a garage. Used to be a daily driver, now it's a cream puff. Not what I had in mind and I'm torn about it. "Drive it you fuck!." "Nooo, UV damage + assholes & what about rain???"

Sandblasted inside and out, powder coated gloss black inside and out, machine finished lips and clear powder coat all around. They are really pretty in person.

I'd run them on the Stang, only reason being its current wheels look less good on it than the current wheels look on the Vic. Btw does your dad know about the big-brakes upgrade from newer Mustangs? I did that on Joe's Mk7, works quite well.Last edited by His Royal Ghostliness; 06-26-2017, 12:11 AM.The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.

What size are those wheels? What are you gonna do with the current wheels? Sorry for all the questions, I just enjoy the progression of this car.
Watched the video; you have tolerant neighbors. Crown Vic sounds awesome!

I run the LX Sports in the summer months and the HPPs go on for the winter months.
I have been running the LX Sports and Hpps together for at least 3 years.~David~

Yay. Time for the third water pump job on the new engine. Weep holes are WEAK. Fuckers keep spewing out on me. Its just a drip drip drip directly onto the balancer but it will be replaced. Hoepfully the seals in this one aint all dried out.
Plan it to prep and paint it old ford blue, like all the others ones on the new motor. Lol
Also got in the shorter belts for my ASP underdrive crank pulley.
Whenever this all gets addressed I want to replace the 1990 town car fan shroud with the better condition one I pulled last SF as well as hack out some more of the rubber isolater for the radiator on the passengers side…the lower one. It makes the radiator sit uneven and it bugs me.~David~

I went through a bunch of water pumps before I got one that didn't suck. Its just something from Autozone I think but it works. Its a fairly annoying job, but at least you know all of your stuff is fresh and will come out. Changing an old one is always kind of dicey.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
