What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

Ding-ding-ding!

It's something I've wanted to try making for about a year now.

What size air line are you going to run with that?

the stock 3/16" line is pretty restrictive and so is the vent solenoid on the compressor.

onboard tank, aftermarket compressor, bigger lines, bigger vent solenoid

BAM

fast bags

Looking good man, love the custom solenoids. ;)
 
I didn't feel that the entire car needed a paint job right now. Later, when I have more money for Shiney, it'll get a few dings and dents worked out, mud and a full body spray

I spent a few hours today playing with the buffer and some 2000 grit, even hit the lights

Sweet! looks muuch better, I really want to see your car all buffed out and cleaned up now with some good lighting! you're secretive with your pictures lol
 
replaced rear bags on my 97, as suspected with colder nights fronts going low at night. Time to do the fronts!!! I guess the Sarad aftermarkets are the best deal out there at $311 ea.?
 
Started fabbing up the throttle cable bracket..

I sheered off a couple of the mounting tabs for a spare fuel rail, trimmed as needed and welded the pieces of the stock Mark bracket to them, then relocated the cruise module back where DLF mounted his, which is behind the wheel- up in the fender in front of the upper drivers door hinge
 
Heck. Didn't say what I did today.

Swapped rear ends out for my 4.10'sand put a 93 driveshaft in.

Besides a local mark VIII guy around here I showed, your the only other one I've seen with the Lincoln on the side.
 
:cool:ya dont see that much. i think it looks good a nice add on to the side but not to much. i like having the lincoln on it . really cuts down on people asking what kind of car it is.i do get that a lot.
 
thanks for the info no limit95. i had seen them on ebay before was just wanting to buy new ones. but those r clean probly the cleanest ive seen on the site yet.
 
Even with the Lincoln badge in the grill, LINCOLN on the sides, the badge on the trunk and Lincoln on the license plate, im still asked what car this is. So I decided to enhance the problem. I'm shaving the Lincoln on the headlight trim, grill, doors, and trunk. I might keep the license plate though.

You'll be looking at around $250 + shipping for each side. I bought new ones from Tasca in 2010 and they still look new today and are boxed up but they were $227 each or something like that, plus shipping. Just over $500 for housings alone and now they're higher. I think Tasca is down to only having one side now, the last I checked. I would just get a clean set off ebay for way less and install a HID kit and you'll have no worries of burning the chrome.
 
thats funny guess if all the badges dont clear it up next best thing is to stump them.now when they ask just ignore the question all the way. i have told people in the past it says lincoln but im not to sure. GOOD QUESTION. ill have to look at my title.Best one ever i told a guy that i streched out a escort lmao.
 
had a kid walk up to me n tell me it was against the law to have the cobra on it couse its not a cobra and his dad said if the cops see it they will arrest me. the kid was like 7 or 8 i tried so hard not to laugh then bit my toung couse he just wouldnt let it go. looking back i feel sorry 4 this kid couse his dad has no clue so this litle guy dont stand a chance.
