What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

[Lownslowlsc]

Tightened the shifter handle, darn thing was loose as a goose. Not sure how I just noticed it.

How do you tighten it? Mine moves a little left to right.

How do you tighten it? Mine moves a little left to right.

On a gen2 theres 2 torx screws on the shaft underneath the plastic cover, right below where the leather ends on the handle. Stick something somewhat thin, sturdy and dull inbetween the two as to not damage anything. You might beable to carefully grab it and pull down an inch or so. Once you get it to move down a little you'll see the top screw, you'll now need to put the key in and turn it to acc so that you can fully press the shifter button in. Keep it pressed in and the plastic cover will slide down enough to tighten the bottom screw. If you let go of the button the cover will pop back up thus blocking the lower screw.


Once tightned just pull the plastic cover up the shaft and it'll seat back in place.

P.s. It'll take about 2-10 minutes. Good luck.

Haven't done much to the Mark in a while. Too many other issues to deal with lately...

But on a lighter note, and totally non-Mark VIII related, here's something you don't see every day:



1964 Mercury Monterey Breezeway RANCHERO

 

[SwedishMark]

Me and my father has gone abit overboard with Fords.

The cars on the driveway right now, his 2003 Mustang SVT Cobra isn't showed in the picture, it's in the garage.

I wish this would be the typical driveway in Sweden instead of Volvos and Saabs

 

[thaywood]

I wish that was my driveway...

And once again, more absolute ridiculousness that shouldn't have ever happened:


Yep. that poor abomination used to be a 1959 Lincoln

That Lincoln is so odd and so abused.
But still, it looks so weird it's awesome!

[SwedishMark]

Started tearing her apart for the stereo installation.

And gave her a wash underneath, damn she's in good shape! Almost zero rust and it's a 130k car.
And meanwhile I was washing her underneath I washed the whole thing. And cleaned the wheels.

They came out pretty damn clean!

 

[Lownslowlsc]

Well after 5 years I've finally managed to rack up 20k. 56k more till I hit my goal of 200k, It could take a while.
