Hey dudes.
I'm coming here from CrownVic.net; Torquelover recommended it.
Having nosed around, I can see why. I've already found a number of threads detailing a lot of what I'd like to do my box, and further still, you guys seem like a great, laid back community with a solid knowledge base.
Anyway, here's my Panther:
^ That last pic is from before I blacked out the grille.
It's a 91, P74 5.0 car. It's mechanically stock, save for a pair of Cherry Bomb Turbos (hey, I'm cheap and I didn't know better :p), and a disconnected smog pump.
It's sitting on roughly (because the odometer's broken and I haven't gotten around to opening up the instrument cluster again) 385,000 kms. Thankfully, the previous owner of nine years had almost every major component replaced or rebuilt during his ownership, to a point where I think the only thing a mechanic hasn't touched is the alternator.
It runs pretty great, save for a stuck lifter on the #4 cylinder and a generally loud top end, which is really only a minor annoyance; I've heard much worse, I know it's not going to blow itself apart anytime soon. It doesn't bother me anyway because I'm planning an Exploder swap down the line.
She's my first car, and I love her to bits.
