94 mark

Thanks men - ill try to get some pics of it tomorrow - can't put plates on it until Tuesday so ill try tomorrow - ive got some questions concerning harsh ride in the rear - ride heights spot on but it rides like a log in the reer - kinda like the bags are full of water and no flex - either that or it has truck shocks on it lol -- gotta get on fixing that it awful I might take the back shocks off and give it a test drive tomorrow - Thanks again gang im proud:L

about wrecked it on the interstate several times, road was slightly wet since it had barely snowed about 2 hours before.

couple cars in front of me were going slow so i decided to pass them, punched the throttle and went to go pass and before i even started to turn the back end was slippin out and had me going sideways at 75mph down the interstate with a bunch of cars around me, scared the hell out of me.

It looks really nice. I really need to do that to mine. I can still see pretty well with them. They're not totally coroded. But they're just foggy enough to need polishing. I'll get around to it some day. Hopefully soon. As of now, my HID hi and lo beams are doing the trick quite nicely.

That thing is freakin killer! Not a gen 1 fan but if I found one that clean I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Now you have a better understanding of why we reccomend other mods befor throwing a blower on it?

Welp, compressor just started sputtering. It does it half the time, mostly after a long highway drive coming down to a stop, it tries to raise the car again but just "sput, sput, sput" :(

For rear shocks just get some from a 9?-97 t-bird v8. They're a direct fit in the rear of a mark. Sensatracs are a good choice if your staying at stock ride height and are around 30 each.

Thanks dude! I had to do it, after I got embarrassed by an elderly lady driving her absolutely mint conditioned Mark with her sparkling crystal clear lights. Her car looked as if it just came off the lot and it made my lights look crap that's when I decided to restore my lights and give my car some of its dignity back.
