Interior Pics

Solution for the horn problem, get an MF switch from an 84. They had the horn built in to the turn signal lever. Push in and blow. Minor re-wiring to put the horn wiring back on the MF switch is needed but that should be trivial.

Dude... that looks great! Good Job.. BTW who needs a horn when you got a middle finger?

The middle finger doesn't have quite as much effect as a 110db air horn blowing directly at you.Which is why I have mine,one long blast really wakes em up too,lol.

New Floor Mats

well, I broke down and got some new floor mats from Advance.

those jerks....they had it on the row that listed the price $9.88.
but they rang up for $27.
cocksuckers racked them wrong....ugggh....I knew it was too good to be true.

oh, well....here's some pics.

wow those are really nice floor mats you have there. my floor mats are, well, i think they are the originals floor mats that came with my car. they have no grip left in them. once during a rain storm my car was running and i step in.. my foot slid on the floor mats hitting the accelerator i almost ran into a building. lets just say i was very fortunate. heres a pic of them.

Shouldn't keep your car in gear when you leave it, stuff like that can happen. I always put the car in park/neutral when I get out.

And Colin, that are sweet floor mats, they go well with the rest of the interior. I had no idea floor mats were that expensive. Was that $27 for each, or for both of them. I figured floor mats would be like 10 bucks a pop.

You need to get peoples attention, so they can see that you're giving them the finger.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

it was $27 for both...thanx for the compliment mang.

yea, the ridges are nice and deep and since it has a Ford logo on it, that bumps up the price.

Decent mats, although I probably would have bought ones that matched the rug. Yours however do match the black theme you have going on. Looks good. Also, I used to have a tach like that. Then when I added all my other gauges I had to have the matching tach. Very nice.

Rojas, looks like a clean interior. Nice.

One thing tho, "build Ford tough" applies to trucks, and you ain't got no truck, or even a Ford per say - that's one thing you ain't never gonna find in my car, a Ford logo - it's a fuckin Lincoln, may be built by Ford but it's still a Lincoln In yer case I'd have probably gone with some of them Ford Racing mats in black and red, the truck slogan just don't seem right for a Mercury.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

hmm..they make Ford Racing ones?
why am I just being informed now!

[boXman]

Theres some real nice ones on ebay. They have a checkered flag design and all.

The ones I used to have in my Vic had the Ford oval and "The Best Never Rest". I still have 'em around here.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

kool.
I think I'll stick with mine, tho.
I like the deep ridges in these...that's mostly why I bought them.

i had a chick barf in my 83 townie once.. but she was like 13, and drunk














but i was 16

This thread hath inspired me to buy new floor mats (they are carpet that match the dark blue already in the car). I still think I like the thick rubber ones better though.

[gadget73]

I have OEM ones from a 95 Vic in my car. They fit nice, but I need to look in a newer car for the locking device thing that holds the driver's side mat down. Its got a hole in the mat, I'm assuming it has some sort of locking tab that pushes into something in or under the carpet. Also need to find rear mats for the car. I like the rubber ones for how easy they are to clean, but I drive barefoot much of the time in the summer, so I have a preference for nice carpet underfoot.
