I'll assume It looks worse in person than in pics, I know my car did. Hell when I bought my Lincoln it looked like this. My wife is friends with the body shop owner, and does custom airbrushing for them so I can't give you any estimate on what it might cost in the real world:cool: But it didn't...

Scratched my quarter panel with a snow shovel. Busted the sunroof rear cross bar/drain climbing into the drivers seat from the passenger side. Chained it to my Bronco, and ripped it out of the snowbank it's been trapped in. The passenger side door handle broke when my wife tried to open the...

Good info Thanks everybody! successful thread jack! Pics or it didn't happen... This is what came out of mine... and my permatex gasket is failing after a week...

Yes, right, I guess I should choose my words more carefully, In any case I called it both of those things and described it, and had a large chunk of it in my hand, and the Ford dealership told me it didn't exist, even showed me exploded views of their computer with no o-ring. Thank you for...

I logged in and had a wtf moment. First my Hotmail changed to Outlook and now this... Not that there's anything wrong with it, I just don't deal well with change.:p

Don't mean to thread jack, but I'm going to anyways. Does anybody know where I can get the rubber gasket that goes between the master and the booster? The dealership tells me there isn't a gasket there, but I have half of one sitting on the table in front of me, lol.

Air entered the booster. it works by engine vacuum, not pressure. Bolt it back together and start the car. I had mine unhooked on Saturday for replacement(turned out to be a gasket instead) No issues. (if air entered the master that's a different story) I'm assuming you didn't loosen any...

Doesn't AAS sell the strutmasters kits? http://www.americanairsuspension.com/Mark-VIII-8-Air-Suspension-Conversion-Kits-Parts-s/1819.htm http://www.strutmasters.com/Lincoln-Mark-Viii-Suspension-Parts-s/41.htm

Wow Bruce, That car looks amazing now, It was in beautiful condition before, but this really gives it more of an edge. I was wrong The Bullitt wheels do look better in black...but... ONLY on the white car, I still like gunmetal better though. sorry this is off topic but, did you get my email?

Free bump, I have a second gen bracket on a shelf, sorry. Maybe try Holland used auto parts, in N. Billerica... I haven't been there since spring so I don't know what's in the yard... They sometimes don't know either but it's worth a phone call. Last time I was there they had two first gen...

I bought mine T-boned from my wifes uncle. I was moving from Canada, and it was just easier than importing my 95 Cougar. I was hoping it would be a lateral move... and I suppose it was. I search the junkyards and try to do some repairs on the cheap, I ride around on coil springs because my front...

Could you send me a pm in a month or two, I'll never remember to check this thread, lol I've got burned out stockers I'm not happy with. (they still make some noise.)

Bruce, I checked mine, it is Light Graphite, I'm thinking, Both door panels off that car, front seat belts, and possibly the top panel out of the dashboard, that meets the windshield. I'm working on a more complete list of wants/needs. Just thought I'd jump in here and try to get a price on...

I've never had much luck using beam style wipers. I've never tried them on the Mark VIII either, Mostly because I don't like the look of them... I had a Bosch on my Cougar for two weeks... Just didn't look right. I use PIAA super silicone wipers with the replaceable blades. and I use the...

Is the oil pan for a gen one or two?

On a 98 you might have problems with your traction control, with shorter tires on the rear.

I don't think that it would work on a supercoupe, I haven't tried but I remember reading that the mirrors mount differently. although apparently the gen one mirror glass is the same as the t-bird even thought the mirror housings are different. I was thinking about swapping to gen1 mirrors on my...

Nice find! Now don't leave it sitting in the shed for 4+months, like I'm currently doing.

Yeah, I did read that after I posted. Yours is way cooler than mine. If I didn't like the way the Cougar handled so much better I might have waited until something actually broke.

I liked the way my Cougar handled better? The back bags were factory, and starting to crack, not badly, but they're getting there. The fronts were two year old Suncore bags and the shocks sucked. I haven't liked air ride since my wife's 1988 LSC suspension s**t the bed. Without warning! In...
