New Guy to the Mark Series!!

[fastcobra1982]

Hey all, i am a newbie to the marks series. Short history about this....my mom had one when i was about 16 and i LOVED it, very fast and very sleek. SO just last month i bought a 94 Mark VIII, and i am in the process of rebuilding it. It had 181k on it and has alot of little problems i am seeing. So here is what i have done to it and what i still need to do to it...

Flushed the Coolant system of the old crap and put fresh Green stuff in
Driver Side Coil Pack
Fixed the Strut Bushing on the lower control arms
installed a Dual Bluetooth iPod Stereo
and Buffed the car back to a nice shine, as well as the rims

What i still need to do...
Upper and lower ball joints, inner and out tie rods, driver side valve cover oil leak on the plugs and exhaust, passenger side exhaust leak somewhere, and the oil filter adapter gasket(already have gasket just need to install)

Shes shows to be a good car and i want to buy another teksid motor fromt he local salvage yard and rebuild it to have the cobra cams, and cobra intake.

I am also looking for any car clubs in my area that arent to far, or just starting one if there isnt. So let me know what you think and i am always up for ideas, and comments!!

Hello, what a beautiful car you have. I am new to this site. I have purchased a 94 Mark VII as well about 1 year ago it has 193,000 and is still running strong.I bought this car from a police impound and there was a rebuilt tranny with a shift kit installed ! However, its has been having some small problems that i thought maybe you would be familar with I was told that it needs O2 sensors on the right side the check engine light flashes on and off and I notice a hesitation when climbing inclines or hills. Also, i have been having problems with the turn signals and the lights seem to flicker off and on when driving usually when it is raining. I have tried to install a new turn signal assembly still no turn signals but everything else works fine so then i checked all the fuses A OK. I am thinking it is a wiring problem but not sure any ideas ?
