My picture skills leave a lot to be desired, but here is some TC goodness.
Mods include:
TFI Blaster coil, Eagle 055s with P225/70R15 Dayton Daytona tires, 560k6 smog pump bypass, rear airshocks. More to come!
Added history:
I bought the 1989 Lincoln Towncar you see in the pics around '99 or 00. I was in the market for another car at the time (my 77 Dodge Diplomat was about to take a shit again). I saw her on a budget lot for $3200. I believe I paid $75/week for about a year. I drove her until 2003 when my grand-father sold me his '93 Lincoln Towncar for $1. That's right, a buck. So I sold the '89 to a buddy of mine for $500. About 6 months later, the '93 blew the motor. So, I bought my roomates 91 Escort and drove it until 2005. My buddy decided he needed the money and called me to see if I wanted dibbs on the '89. I had really missed that car and had been kicking my self in the nuts for selling her so I said hell yeah! I paid him $700 for her return. She had new brakes, ball joints, power steering hose, and a few other things done.
I'm really glad he called me first. I was lost without her.

My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now it is all I can do to make constructive use of my anger toward them. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born.

Those chrome wheel well trim pieces you added really complement the chrome rockers!

Thanks guys...
I actually have another waterfall grille in the trunk I need to install. Nothing against the waffle look or anything, I just prefer the other.

Here is a pic of the inside of the trunk. It's a little messy.

You're missing a fan shroud. I have a slightly damaged one if you're interested. Blood stains have been removed from it.
I do really like that flare trim. It looks like it really belongs there with the stainless rocker trim.

I have the original in the trunk. I just didn't put it back on when I changed the water pump. I plan on going with an electric fan setup soon, anyway.

For some odd reason when I see your car Kiss's "Heavens on Fire" starts playing in my head.

That thing is sooooooo mean looking. I love it. I usually don't like extra chrome on the doors and wheelwells but on your car it looks great!

Normally not a big fan of the coach roof, but it looks good on your car. I also like those wheels. Are they off a Ranger or something?

That's a sweet looking TC man, and the rack on the trunk makes it look even better! Keep the rake
