Winter projects for the lincolns?

[Lownslowlsc]

I have a ton of stuff to do while it's stored and was wondering what other members had planned...


Mine:

1.5" coil conversion
Rear shocks/mounts
spark plugs
coolant change
thermostat
Blend door
Paint ds handle
Fix 2 windshield leaks
Fuel filter
Power steering flush
Install mf switch
Fix rusted oil pan
Find a non rusted sway bar and install
Replace cowl plastic retainers
Spray wd-40 on the fuel door....By far the hardest

What are yours??

If I'm thinking of the right thing, the plastic cowl retainers can be purchased at like Home Depot or something. Pretty cheap too.

Im going to replacing pretty much all the front suspension. I've got it lowered right now. Theres a lil bit of noise happening. and iwant it gone.
I found a store on ebay was wondering if anyones bought or heard anything about this place : World Suspension ?? They've got a front suspension set. Uppers,lowers control arm, inner and outter tie rods,sway bar end links: for around 200 bucks.
New alternator
Spark Plugs and wires
Body work, and paint
Water pump

And im going to be re doing the setup I have in my trunk with my 2 12's
All fibgerglass.

Drive it threw winter in the snow and get stuck everywhere and see the rust eat away my under carriage and if i get lucky and buy a 4x4 i will store it and throw it up on jackstands and wrap it like a taco then wait for old man winter to leave and make a cowl hood do body work and have it painted

Thanks for that. I thought I would check out what anyone on here had to say about them before i did anything. Whats the best suspension parts to order for marks?

Has anyone purchased anything from this ebay store?

Moog/TRW uppers and lowers are good, places like Rockauto have them. As you are on coils and dont need the ball studs for the height sensors you can order for a 96' T bird and save some money.

[96mark8]

[Lownslowlsc]

Sounds Like LVC is going to be busy this winter? Thats if we can feel our hands enough to type.

Yea i agree with this because as soon as it got cold my car seems to want a lot of work on it,where is global warming

 

[kustomizingkid]

There is going to be a t56 shortage if everyone actually converts there Marks....

 

[JMiles_T]

Not a d@mn thing!

After 4 years of new problems appearing right after I solve others, my Lincoln is mechanically and electrically sound.

I think I've earned a break from spending money on this thing.

 

[greenlinc]

3.73 and posi thats sitting in the garage, a j-mod, and if money permits a dyno tune to make it all work right.

 

[Garbone]

XcalII, and Mach 1 spoiler.

 

[papa bear]

My first project will be to remove the snow and put it in gear and watch the rear tires spin,bummer

 

[MsM8tress]

awhhhh poor baby...hugs....
Papa, do you have 2 Marks?
