Howdy Grand Marquis friends, I'm back with another build update on my 85.
The old temp gauge I had got nicked or something and stopped working so I picked up this whatever one at the parts store and made a little metal bracket for it.
The electric fan switch is conveniently located to the side. It was in the coin tray before, so this is less of a hassle and suits my liking.
Current drivers view
I also finally got a chance to have the braking system updated after accumulating parts for about 2 months.
This was more of a maintenance/minor update, I didn't want to complicate things too much here, but yea, the list is as follows:
AC Delco 11.8in. Rotors
ARP 3in. Extended Studs
Hawk HPS Pads
Ford Reconditioned Calipers
Maximum Motorsports Stainless Steel Caliper Sleeves
Inner and Outer Wheel Bearings
Im actual surprised the MM stuff worked on the stock calipers.
Since that job was getting done my friend did the front shocks and springs for me too.
I went with KYB shocks and Speedway 925lb. front springs. I also cut out half a coil.
The spring in its normal configuration sits just below 12 1/8in.
With half a coil cut it sits right at 11 3/8in.
Don't know if this information is helpful to anyone but I'll just leave it here anyways.
It looks way killer now.
