What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

Soldered all the hid connections that I failed to do it the first time.


This weekend has turned out to be a " Fix all my rushed mod's properly" kind of weekend.

thinkin about washin mine if it gets a little warmer out. it hasn't had a bath since october!!
 
My buddies being a b!tch(ok, not really, he did just move) so i'll have to take her in to get the adapter gasket fixed. Seem's like 200-250 is the going rate..:(

Really suck's that I can't (don't want too) fix it myself. It'll be the most I've ever spent getting it fixed. I feel defeated.


Edit: False alarm, he wasn't blowing me off.

Phew, that just saved me 200 buck's.
 
It sound's messy, frustrating and I have gigantic hand's, I'm talking Andre the giant type hand's.

Just sound's like a royal pita from what i've read and can't risk it being down as it's my dd.

Awsome! Looks clean all around..my dads friend has almost your identical mark, he has a black on black 94 that he's owned for 12 years or so with 50 some thousand miles on it just as nice as yours, his might have snowflakes though..can't remember, haven't seen it in a while..next time I see him I'll try to convince him to sign up on this site, but eitherway very nice, not easy finding a 1st gen with that low of mileage now. How have those 3 thousand miles been so far? Any issues with it from sitting most of its life?
 
Got my strut rod bushings and rear shocks today. Looks like I'll be getting to work Saturday if the weather's nice. I would start today, but I'm kinda down in the dumps cuz my cat of 13 years, Spock, passed away this morning:(

Sorry to hear about Spock. I wish pet's would live forever. I'm going to be devistated when my cat dies (long story).
 
No Issues

Finally got the rust spot on the drivers door all repaired, and the molding back on. Tomorrow I'm taking off the snow tires, and putting them away for the nicer weather.
 
I didn't bother to look at it. The housings didn't get touched. The chrome piece on the hood is bent and the grille is toast. Some scratches on the bumper. Not sure if the header is cracked. He it a 2000 V6 Mustang and broke out the vemts toward the bottom of the bumper. At the last second a Hatian cut the Mustang off to go North on the tpk. The stang locked em up and my Son didn't. FHP gave my Son a ticket for careless driving!! WTF?? I could understand following too closely. Oh well, welcome to So. Florida!

looks like next month on paint for me. maybe we get a 2 car deal?
 
Noticed my Blizzaks were getting a bit feathered in the outer edges of the tires and I just put em on a few hundred miles ago.

Got out the Toe Plate and did a drive across it and looked good but my friend noticed my front wheel move when I hit the brakes. So went back on the plate and hit brakes and WOW did it swing out :eek:

Just put new strut rod bushings on LCA end so now I'm thinking the forward bushings are shot :(

Not looking forward to having to take the entire lower suspension off just to put those damn bushings on :mad:
