Something 'bout a Mercury(MEGA DUW)

Paul, replace the seats (front ones at least) with ones from a Signature Series or Cartier TC, they are even comfier that what you have now, and I've seen them in leather with your interior color.

[85crownHPP]

The Cartier ones are nice - arent they both fabric and pleather combined???

[Archangel]

They come in all velour, all leather, and I'm pretty sure I've seen combinations as well - just take the time to find the right color and condition.

Nice car!!! (I didn't know a sunroof was an LS option).

[Paul_]

Actually from what I gather, it was a dealer option.

[boXman]

Yes, not factory.

[N A]

As long as it doesn't leak, it's a wicked nice option.

Nice but you should consider to change that crappy damaged driver's seat.


ATT, SNIPER 308.

Working on it. One step at a time.

Here is my current list of goals for this car. I have decided to make the car alot more show than go. I'm finding day after day that I don't have to have the fastest Panther in the world to be happy. Also my days of caffeine binging are coming back to haunt me. I get the shakes really bad sometimes. Doing 100mph+ is not the time to start shaking like a madman.

Exterior Mods

17" or 18" wheels(17" will be LX Sport wheels, 18" will be Marauder wheels)

20% tint on the 3 back windows

35% on the front 2 windows

At some point, I would like to replace the coach roof. When I do, I'm going to have it done in gray like the lower body on the car. I think it will make a nice contrast.

Engine/Drivetrain Mods

Dual exhaust using Flowmaster Delta 50's

That is all for now.

Did I read 17" or 18" wheels?

I have original Flowmaster 40-Series mufflers on my car and LOVE them!!! What do the Delta 50-Series sound like? I had a 50-series muffler on my old 2.9L V6 '90 Ranger 4x4. At idle, you could hear the muffler, but my Grand Marquis with the 40-Series sounds much better!!!

Remove that godforsaken coach roof. They suck!

No. It's grown on me. I also don't have the time, nor the money, and most importantly the experience involved in removing it.

[LTDMan83]

Nice Merc!Looks to be in good shape.Never get rid of that coach roof,it makes your merc look so much hotter!

[Dave84]

Nice car man, There was a car like yours at the auto wreckers i work at and it had the same interior in mint condition, no cracks or anything. But they crussed it a couple weeks back any ways nice car, and it should look relly good with some differnt wheels.

Exterior Mods

17" or 18" wheels(17" will be LX Sport wheels, 18" will be Marauder wheels)- I've changed my mind on this. Pete (Wagonman) hooked me up with a mint set of Mercury wire caps, so I'm going to get a nice set of steelies for those.

I'm going to locate a continental kit for the rear.

I'm going to pick up a set of those metal rain shades from JC Whitney and a set of headlight louvers.

I'm going to locate a set of louvers from a 79-81? Marquis.

Install a Tripminder computer- I'm going to swap to an analog clock. Tripminder shit the bed.

Convert to leather Town Car seating- These seats are plenty comfy. Just need to repair the drivers seat.

Complete LED lamp conversion-I want every bulb, minus the headlights to be an LED bulb

True HID sealed beam headlight conversion

I'd like to locate a set of door panels from an earlier GM with the wood grain and GM emblem. I think the difference in grains between the door panels and the dash will flesh out the interior nicely.



That is all for now.

Items in bold and italics are stuff I'm changing up. In case you haven't noticed, I'm going for an old school gangster vibe. I might even get a replica tommy gun for the trunk.
