Lol Mine came with one broke(swingy part removed) and one still all there. I'm not a huge fan of the swingy part ecept my son's little cups/drinks fit ok in the complete cup holder. The other "works" but ya it's stupidly located. Luckily all my switches are still working so I've been putting...

I called this morning and the guy said "the cars been sitting a long long time so I'm sure it's no good" and then just hung up on me. Anyway, thanks for the lead. I'll try carparts.com and see if I can find something. I've got one other salvage yard to try too.

Keep in mind those prices are my discounted price for my business account. I'm sure the list price is much higher. I can check this afternoon and see what list would have been if you want.

I ordered front Rotors, Pads, and Wheel Bearings for my '88 today. While I sold my repair shop in January I kept all of my business accounts with my parts suppliers so I get a good discount over list price. I am paying $42 a piece for the "economy" rotors. The "premium" rotors were going to be...

Ya, I live a bit south of the lake. Glen Lake is in between Glen Arbor and Empire. All the parts yards I've contacted have nothing. There's only really 3 anywhere near me, but they are pretty huge sites. Most of the guys I'm talking to are crushing most of the vehicles of our age at this point...

Mine is burgandy. What do you have??

I'm wondering if there is good source for a replacement dash. Mine is pretty badly cracked. I've tried online but have found nothing. I'm thinking anything I find in a salvage yard would be just as bad. Anyone know of a source?? Also hoping to find a replacement door panel.

Where can I find either/both sway bars? Is there and after market source?

The wipers on my '88 Mark VII do not work in any position except when I pull out to spray washer solvent and then they go back and forth as they should. If when doing this I put the wiper control in an on position they go back and forth to clean as they should but then do not drop down all they...

New to the site. I've just purchased a 1988 Lincoln Mark VII. My name is Mark. I live in Empire MI. And I'm dying to start transforming my new toy into what I want it to be!

be careful Brakes aren't hard to an experienced technitian. But if you are truly a novice mechanic they are NOT a system you want to make a learning mistake on. Not being able to go is one thing. But not being able to stop is just dangerous. I'm a certified technitian and I've seen some pretty...

thanks guys This helps. I was thinking about 3.55 or 3.73 gears. I think 3.55 sounds better. I did see that strutmasters has a coil conversion for both the front and rear. The tech article at Lincolns online sounds like a ton of work, but the results may be the best.

Hello all. I'm brand new to this board. I just bought an 1988 Mark VII LSC off my brother. It's not pretty but it's in darn good shape overall. It runs great. My intentions are to swap in a T5 and lower the gears in the rear end. Any suggestions on a good ratio? It'll be a daily driver and see...
