    My Vicky

    Hi again!! Just thought I'd make a page dedicated to my car Vicky. If you haven't seen my sig, then you don't know what year she is. She is a 1986 Ford LTD Crown Victoria LX. With stock everything. Except the engine which is still a 302. No mods. Just put an engine in last October. She's running great. Have to re-time her though. Well without further ado, here she is!!!!!!
    Sorry if these pics are huge.

    This was a pic I had when the old engine was in it. Well you can't tell anyway cause the hood's not open.
    These pics were taken in my autoshop of my high school:

    This is a pic of the car without an engine.

    This is another pic of the car without an engine.

    These are my engines. The one in the car now is the one on the stand. My old engine is on the ground.
    Back home:

    There is the engine, in the car, all nice and snug.
    After polishing and wax:

    I like this view.

    From the back.

    I read somewhere on here that a tip to taking good pics was taking them from the ground looking up. It has made a great effect!

    I thought I'd get another picture of her with the lights on.
    These pics could only be taken in these places because she is not able to be driven on the road yet. So when she is. Sometime this year, I will have new pictures taken.

    The original owner, I do not know. But the owner I do know, is my sister who was the final owner of the car before it was "retired" to the backyard. It was left there due to a blown head gasket. That was seven years ago, on October 30th, 2000. In 2005, in mid may, I took a battery and stuck it in there. The battery was too dead to start it. So I took my dad's jumper box and started the car. It turned over with no hesitation, surprisingly after sitting for 5 years. As the engine warmed up, the smoke rose up from under the hood. I quickly shut the car off and ran away, thinking it was going to burst into flames. (DUMB!!!!!) So when I realized that it wasn't going to blow up I went back to the car and started it again. And from then on I swore that I would restore the car to it's best. I now have the car in the auto shop of my high school, where I successfully swapped my engine with one of an '88T-Bird. And now I am just trying to get it ready for the road. So when I get money, I'll get her insured registered and inspected.

          LOL. I would love to do that. I don't have any money to do that. I was thinking, that I would get a second Vic, and go crazy with everything in it.
          There was a vic that was the same color as mine inside and out. So I could do all sorts of stuff with that one.

          And you saw my Vic page on Cardomain? Why you not comment it? LOL. I'm kinda glad that I made it. Cause that's how I found GMN.
