    Don't ever take your car to a "detailer"

    As far as the detail went, I haven't done a detail on a car for less than $200. I just got burnt out doing it and I was 18.:lol: I just do my own stuff and the occasional favor. The key on an engine detail is to know not to steam or power wash it. Some cars you will severely f*** up the...

    Old Man's Car?

    I know they aren't just for old people. I'm 18 and I've owned the TC a year and a half. I've owned the Triumph since 16 and just bought the Vette in February. All of my cars are typically owned by people significantly older than me. mark0101's pic motivated me to get out and do one of my...

    1991 Town Car

    I have a 1991 Lincoln Town Car with the Velour Seats. Don't replace them with leather, the velour wears much better than the leather does. I hate the look of crapily aged leather, some don't mind, so it's a preference thing. BTW - Enjoy the car. GT6

    What shocks should I use?

    Yeah, you have an inexpensive replace job. DIY and it will cost $135 to do all four with good ol' OEM parts. Good Luck, GT6

    What shocks should I use?

    Lincoln is known around the world for the ride, and they achieve said ride with Motorcraft shocks. I replaced my front shocks about 6 months ago. It would have been $13 a shock for Gabriel's and $25 a piece for Monroe Sens-A-Tracs. I have used both on cars that I fixed to sell, and they are...

    Bill Blass??

    The Bill Blass edition Lincoln was never on a Town Car. It existed only on the Mark Series. It was started in 1976 on the Mark IV and ended on the 1992 Mark VII. There were 4 Special Editions introduced to the Mark Series in 1976: Pucci, Givenchy, Bill Blass & Cartier. The Gucci Edition...

    First Speeding Ticket!!!!!

    I have gotten my only ticket in my dead stock 1991 Lincoln Town Car (See my Photo Garage). It was for blowing a Red Light. I fought it in a free informal hearing, but still lost. The cop even invented cross traffic that I know wasn't in the middle of the country at 12:00 at night. I...

    97 TC 43K mi $3K

    Buy It Now! Even if you can't afford it, buy it and the resell it for quite the tidy little profit. The most I usually make in profit on a car is 2 - 3 grand, after pouring a ton of time rebuilding the engine, replacing the interior, or doing bodywork! NOTE - There is no way to lose money...

    Its Sand Time

    Today it snowed for the first time this season in GR, Michigan. I'm wondering how many of you use a giant rubbermaid container with sandbags in it for traction?(Or Similar) I keep 3 80lb bags in it and only one was opened last winter (helped a friend get traction in his Neon). You guys have...

    Power window quest.

    The part numbers aren't the same, but that doesn't mean it won't work. Call your Lincoln Dealer and ask them whether or not it will work. They will tell you if it will work. I checked into prices for each, and the Lincoln motor was cheaper than the Crown Vic motor by 22 dollars. Good Luck...

    How do I drain the coolant?

    I'm with EvilFord on this. Make sure you remove the radiator or cold reservoir cap or the suction won't let it drain. I have a 1991 Town Car and they hold something like 17 - 19 psi on the cooling system. If that doesn't work, uses evil's hose idea; its bulletproof, because if you have no...

    Finally bought a new bumper!

    I just bought a new front bumper cover for my 1991 Lincoln Town Car. A shop in town was going out of business, and I saw the ad in the bargain corner that they were selling off their inventory of body parts. I paid $100 for an aftermarket brand new bumper cover. Now all I need to fix the...

    Made in USA?

    When I did a brake job with ceramic pads (front and rear), the stock Ford Rotors were all made in Mexico. My Radio, when I fixed it (Stock Deck), I saw it was made in Canada. When I removed my rear power window motor it was made in the USA. My car is not a mutt because of me, these are all...

    Where to get cheap New Front Bumper Cover?

    I need a new Front Bumper cover for my 1991 Lincoln Town Car. I was wondering if any of you know somewhere where it isn't a ton of money and shipping to get. Best Price I can find, shipped, is $200. I want to pay less than that. I am going to try and fix the cover I have, but I need a...
