Well here she is. Breif history: Got her last september with 125k on it. Paid 3k. Needed a blend door actuator, Driverside seat control was cracked and hanging, Seized drivers side strut,chrome wheels were horribly corroded, sunroof acsess panel was broken, floormats, j and strut rod bushings, rear rotors and some other things.

Got the bj and srb's done from a friend for $120 parts included.
Used abs compound to fix the seat control panel, $3.
Rtv sealent for the moonroof panel.
And spent the winter fixing the blend door while it was in storage .
Also during the winter i spent repainting the 19" wheels i
got for $500 with brand new tires. That was a chore.
I also replaced all 4 corners with used arnott struts/bags for $300. Painted them the same color as the car to.New shocks to.
Seafoamed it 3 times, wich was a sight to see.
Just got done replacing the compressor with a used unit, $45.
Got new aftermarket floormats specificly for the mark. Almost a perfect match color wise.

Replaced the chrome windshield washer button
Sensor lowered it alot.
De-badged the rear letters
Hardwired a radar detector.

Looks real good think it could use a bit wider tires tho, or a size taller.


i hear ya. but they were what it came with . If i had my choice it would've been a 245/45/19 but it was a good deal. The tires alone cost him $650. I prob wont ever get to getting new tires, those wheels are just to dam heavy.
 
great looking car. love the jag wheels. You need to buy some bigger tires though. The ride has to suck with those rubber band tires.
 
Those aren't Jag wheels, they're the same ones I have - Mille Miglia EV-R. And they look better on my car ;)

It's not to bad. But my 98 grand marquis w/ 255/35/20 rode a bit better, prob cuase it has body on frame.
 
did you put in the new compressor? cause the front is low like my car.
 
I have a like new compressor, got documentation. It has 15K on it - took it off cuz of the coil conversion a while back. Let me know if anyones interested.
 
For all of them, I dont need them and shipping will be included in the price.

its sensor lowered alot and thats at parked height. These wheels/tires are about 1.5" shorter then the stock set.
 
Looks good now bring it to the Christmas Party in Villa Park this coming Dec.

We'll see i guess, all depends on weather and if it doesnt gives me trouble. I dedicated this as my summer car but it's sat for about 1.5 months due to the dam compressor and me coming up with the money due to the lack of work. i hope to though, really wanted to go to yours but i had a camping trip the weekend after in your neck of the woods (loganville/reedsburg area) and me losing my job and gas/travel would've been a bit to much 2 weekends in a row.
