Just bought a 88 Towncar

[Grand1]

For $1600

98,000k on a 5.0? The five digit...thing im aware

Interior is plush....what should I do?

Suspension, open up the motor, suggestions thoughts ...ideas?

[Grand1]

Interior....looks good!

[chitownvic]

Looks good.. First thing Id do is Dual Exhaust and some tinted windows and then maybe change the wheels.. Oh and clean the fuck outta of It and change all the fluids LOL then start workin on the motor addin some goodys

[jaywish]

I would drive it for a bit and see if any bugs surface. If you are going to keep the motor, perform all basic maint.

If you don't know what has been done when, oil, antifreeze, suspension and body lube, wax, silicone, hoses, belts, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, PCV FILTER brake fluid, tranny fluid, check the brake lineings, change wiper blades.

The bigest things I would upgrade first are tires and headlights.

This all assumes the stuff is somewhat old and you do not plan on upgrading any of them in the near future like bigger wheels for instance.

[Grand1]

Thanks man...what "type" of goodies can be added to the engine with a $$ figure?

...i got $3500 to play with

[jaywish]

then duals, shocks and upgraded sway bars, maybe springs, assuming lincolns don't come with appropriate sway bars.

[86VickyLX]

How much money are you willing to spend?

[Grand1]

sorry im not to mechanically inclined (trying to fix that)

by duals you mean dual exhaust?....what would that do...make my car faster...???

[86VickyLX]

then duals, shocks and upgraded sway bars, maybe springs, assuming lincolns don't come with appropriate sway bars.

Lincolns do not have any special sway bars. Civilian bars. And normally don't have a rear one at all..

Dual exhaust would increase the amount of flow in your exhaust, resulting in less restriction, and making more power, and better fuel economy. So yes, make your car go faster

[Grand1]

$3500- $4200

[zoomie]

lincolns have a nice front swaybar, for a direct fit a rear swaybar from a box limo is good.

[jaywish]

for $3,500 you can have a better motor and exhaust installed. Do not neglect suspension, brakes, tires and lights. I would say do those first, see how much money you have left, then think motor etc.

[chitownvic]

It all depends on what you want.. Do you want a cruiser?? Do you want a fast street car?? or do you want a Track Whore?? Haha its up to you cus the money can flow in all diff directions
