I've been thinking for a while now that the Mark VIII would be a bad idea to take to England with me. Today I started looking into their worth and noticed how expensive Corvettes are there. Then it hit me: My cousin (who also likes Mark VIII's) is trying to sell his 1999 Corvette. Why not trade...
I have the chance to pick up a champagne/black 94 with 49k miles on it. It has a few dings and air ride issues, but I plan to list it on eBay. It is strictly a flip car. What do you think it would sell for?
I put a want ad up last night, but while looking around, I spotted this:

They have a manual one for $42 shipped. It is going to cost me $40 plus the cost of painting it for a...
A few weeks ago I opened my big mouth on the joint base cars facebook page and asked if anyone was interested in having a car show on base. One thing led to another and today I was put in charge of organizing a car show for the whole base and anyone from the surrounding area. :eek:
I have no...
My brother called me earlier to tell me he saw a red 2nd gen on base that had just been rear ended. He said it has custom rims and a cobra style bumper. Anyone know who this is? Sad to hear, but I want this custom bumper. :D
Some of you may remember my excited post last year when I got orders to TX, only to get them cancelled. :mad:
This year brings much better news!! I'm going to England!!:eek:
I get to take one car, and i'm seriously considering taking the Mark. It should be a blast to drive over there, and...
I'm thinking it may be a cheap way to protect my car while saving for all the body and paint work to get done. I figure 4-5 coats of matte black and 2 coats of gloss shoud be presentable......:cool:
This guy is a real tool. Should someone tell him it's broken? :shifty: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-1996-1995-MARK-VIII-8-TRUNK-LID-MOUNT-LEFT-HALF-TAILLIGHT-OEM-USED-/130833644104?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMark+VIII&hash=item1e764afa48&vxp=mtr
I don't like them with a body kit, and this one is in rough shape, but considering the low mileage and rarity of the old body kits, is it worth a restoration?

I haven't had any real bites on the Mark, and I sold my pitiful little honda, so I am rebuilding the Mark VIII.
For starters I will be swapping out the slipping trans with a race built one. Then I will be replacing the blown brake line with brand new stainless braided line from Paragon...
I just found a company that sells silicone vacuum lines in several colors and want to order some to spruce up under the hood. Does anyone know what size the lines are, and how difficult this is?
Just found out i'm moving to TX in Nov and i'll be there for the next 4 years! Now I have to get the parts cars out of the yard and the house on the market. :cool: Witchita Falls, here I come. :D
I was thinking about a vinyl wrap of brushed aluminum, or something like that. Pics of different colors or patterns would be appreciated. I found gloss black and red in another thread. No aluminum or maybe carbon fiber? :confused:
Mine said "no" when I told her this would look great where the family portrait is right now. :D

$75 each for brand new tracks! I'm tempted to get some for myself...:cool:

I picked this up today at the junkyard. I have seen the rear neon working on this car before he sold it for scrap. The car was very poorly cared for. I wouldn't even give him $500 for it. But imagine my surprise when this little beauty showed up behing the crappy fixture. Is this a glitch...
The bolts holding it up look like E18's. My tool collection only goes to E16. I tried searching for an old post about it, to no avail. I was going to do an engine/trans pull today, but that has just been brought to a halt. lol
Is E18 the right size or can I use 12pt 18mm?
