I've come to a sad conclusion about my Mark!

[96hotrodlincoln]

Well, today after work I hand-washed the Mark and realized that slowly but surely the car has decided to eat itself from the inside out. Living in the mid-west is horrible on any car. The years of bad winters and roadsalt have taken a toll on it.

Sadly, the car only has 127,xxx miles on the clock but what can I do. It's not worth putting money into body repairs. I've been tossing around the idea of getting rid of the car for awhile now but I don't know if I'll be able to afford to do so or not. I may just have to drive it until the wheels fall off, literally!

A sad realization but a realization at that!

That IS sad.

Drives side has rust and bubbling paint on the rocker in front of the rear wheel, the passenger has the same as well as a hole rusted through the rocker behind the front wheel.

Fix it now while you still can....

 

[slowmkviii]

yeah look at stacks car and KKs car they are fixing rust

 

[Icarus]

Yes, fix it now before it's real bad or let it rot...

 

[LaserSVT]

Thats a bummer mang. One good thing (only one I can find) about Texas is the cars stay rust free.

 

[k9t8m]

I know what will fix it!!! Some chrome wheels im going to bring down to you in a few weeks.

I'm still working on the 96, so I won't be Markless, and those wheels are going on the 96, my other spokes are on it now. Give me a call and let me know when and I'll just meet up with you.

It is almost time for you to pay the family a visit isn't it?

I might however have a switch for sale, when or if I get rid of the 97. It is slightly customized with some extra controls!

[danny_holtermann]

[Sapperfire]

[rooster1969]

No rust for me. Mine sits 95% of the time. It sure does get dirty though! Looks polka dotted right now, Dang Birds!

 

[Sapperfire]

Dang Birds!!

perfect paint job for a Cadillac

 

[rooster1969]

Not quite that bad. lol. But I can`t keep it clean at this time of the year.

 

[Sapperfire]

i have the portafino blue.. and Laser lives on a white rock road.. he got a white car...CHEATER!!!!
Mine is very hard to keep clean lookin, and now theres polen flying around everywhere too

 

[Aquabrit]

i have the portafino blue..

Was no Portofino blue in 93. Yours looks Nordic, like mine. (color code DF)

 

[Sapperfire]

Well Laser called it portabella blue... I guess it's Nordic...whatever
no rust on it... So that's a plus... Only some angry woman banged her Honda Odys door into a couple times ( thanks MOM!!)
then my step-dad washed it with an Emory cloth.... Not sure what their goal was with the car

[96hotrodlincoln]

Well to add insult to injury, today I notice that the clearcoat is wearing thin on the passenger side C-pillar, but that's the only spot that I can see.

 

[Sapperfire]

You'd probably cry yourself a little river if you had my paint... So... Start parting out your car... I'll take the motor

Yeah Laser is an idiot and told him that was its color. I didnt know as I dont like Gen1's


*ducks to miss a flying shoe*

What are you gonna do with that torch?


*runs away screaming*
