Before & after thread!!!

[UltimateSVT]

Let's make it a sticky! I'll start with mine. NO MORE THAN 3-4 pics (nothing big or crazy) of your before & after pictures. How your Mark VIII was when you bought it & how it is now! It could've been a restoration project, or it could be the jewel you once had that has become a beater. The tittle says it all, BEFORE & AFTER! lol...

Here are my pictures!

BEFORE!
Here she is, driven slammed (pic of ad on Craigslist), caps painted black, destroyed interior, leather pulled off steering wheel & shift knob + missing center console lid, exhaust is cut off after the 3rd cat. Oh, the sticker on the side windows??? They read; "NO FAT CHICKS ALLOWED"

AFTER!
Exrteme paint detailing, LSC exhaust w/MagnaFlows, interior makeover, Cobra R wheels, etc...

Before - home from the junkyard

After months of work -

The dent in driver rear quarter has since been fixed as well. LSC bumper covers, side trim, and a better rear glass are next on the list.

how much did it cost to get those seats done

 

[Jeffintampa]

wow you guys what a change I wish I had skills like that. I bought my 96 lsc in great condition and 60K for 7000.00 in 05 and have been just keeping it up.

 

[UltimateSVT]

how much did it cost to get those seats done

$900 installed! It was actually a game of hustling! The price began at $1,100 but I told them I didn't have that cash. I told them all I had was $800.00. We met in the middle & agreed at $900.00. Turns out it's really expensive to do the embroidery of any design on your seat. Each embroidery was $120.00. You do the math. I got the leather installed for really cheap!

 

[UltimateSVT]

I had forgotten about your project. This is one of the cleanest Mark VIII projects I've seen & the story is awesome. You SAVED this car from it's grave & not only gave it life but brought it back to it's FULL glory! It looks gorgeous man!

 

[02LS8Lincoln]

yeah the wheels are killer I love those ocstars....good job go fast.

 

[02LS8Lincoln]

Well heres my 97 Cordovan Base how she started out like and now. Shes also gone thru a huge change. I basically saved this car from the previous owner. His name was Mark and he owns a jet blue fox mustang. He had this car destroyed. The front airbags were gone, this car would leak down in a matter of minutes. The front bumper had huge scratches and paint was horrible it had some serious rust issues that I already took care of but it still suffers from some. The interior was hell. Instead of ivory it was tan from all the grease stains. I mean this car was a nightmare thank god I bought it.

We can do the seats now all the time, you send your skins in and we embroider and send back.

 

[phreakness]

Before: (the day I picked it up)

After: (still hate those rims)

I'm doing some updates to the engine compartment now and I'm done with it. The only mods I would do next would be a Killer Chiller and a polished Whipple but doubt it.

 

[UltimateSVT]

Laser, u should've posted final pics of the green Mark with the bullet holes!

 

[Go Fast Get Tickets]

Thanks for the compliments guys. It was a labor of love, lol! Still have some work to do but enjoying it alot more now. Gonna get the LSC covers/trim done next and the back window out of the 96 parts car is nice, no ripple trim.

As for the wheels, S100 polishing soap, good schitt maynard. Get at you local Harley store.
