    Greetings from Southern Oregon!

    Hi all! As my name implies, I'm a college student currently taking classes in metal and fabrication, mostly focused on welding. I own an amazing 89' mercury grand marquis, we call her BullBar Bertha! Shes been my daily driver since I turned 16! I'm slowly turning this car into a kinda mad-max car and have a lot of questions for the mechanical side of the coin. I look forward to asking away!

    Ask away, if we don't know surely we can make something up that sounds good

      The Merc is a good ride. Especially in college when you need to haul the crew around. I used my 82 and 88 extensively in college as transportation for me and all my people. The wagon also proved useful as study hall and sleeping quarters when needed. Also scared off some chicks I suppose, according to the wife. She thought I was a serial killer and was going to cut her up and put her in the back. She when on the date anyway. She ended up driving it for a while when her S10 transmission but the dust.

                Thanks! I made that bar myself. They didn't have my size in the catalogue lol. I made that in high school. My friend told me that my car would look stupid with a grill guard, and that was my inspiration. Now I'm gunna make a rear bumper guard, a hood scoop, a roof rack, Louvres over the back window, the list goes on!
