Mark VIII Makeover Project

[GMAN]

I am starting a new project next month. I am going to give my Mark a complete transformation. I just bought a complete black interior minus the seats. I am still looking for seats. I have everything. Headliner, carpet, dash, center console, seatbelts, door panels. I am trying to decide if the exterior color should remain silver. Or should I paint it black. What do you think?

I saw those seats. I am going to pass on those, I am looking for the ones with the Lincoln logo.

If it's factory paint and it looks good? Which it does, Don't repaint.

I have my 95 LSC black seats for sale, in good condition. PM me for pics if interested...

So do you think silver with black interior would look good? Has there ever been a Mark with that combination?

What color is your current interior? I ask because I have been looking for the sunroof motor access panel thing above the rear seat. If you have one in light grey let me know.

silver with a black interior is a mighty fine combination if you ask me.

The ENTIRE Lt grey interior is comming out of my 95 this weekend. I will also have the headliner, but with the condition it's in.....you would be better off taking yours to a local apholstry shop, and having it redone.

It looks like one of the previous owners had his girlfriend's high heels imbedded in it. Other than that(and the steering wheel), the interior is in good shape. Here are some pics.

Let me know if you want better pics of something and I can take my camera to work to get them.

My current interior is Gray.

Also to everyone else, I am going to have everything grey available. The headliner, the the dash, the center console, the shift lever, the back carpet behind the rear seats. I'm going to hold on to the seats and door panels until I find some replacements. I am going to start the transformation this weekend.

Are you swapping the dash out as well?

 

[GMAN]

Are you swapping the dash out as well?

Yes, I am putting in a dash from a 96

Are you swapping the dash out as well?

i sent you a pm

Well, the Mark Makeover Project took a different turn. It is a pain in the ass to take the dash loose! I will never do that again. I will definately save up to have any work done. I didn't buy the black pieces, so I kept things as they currently are. I replaced the blend door then I put the whole thing back together. I had screws everywhere. For those with Gen I Marks. There are only 4 blend door motors left brand new in the whole United States, and they are in Beaumont, TX.

SAME HERE SON! im going to be doing black on black...piece by piece, over time...but yea...black on black is the $hit.

 

[94m5]

I can pull a dash and have it back in, in 3 hours. Just did it today.

Mark Makeover Week 2

Well this weekend I will start with the disassembly. Now that I have most of my pieces in place and ready to go in I believe the interior will be looking awesome. Check out what I have now.

 

[94m5]

...Looking good man,



I'll have an update for my 95 tomorrow night.

This is such a bad-ass idea.

 

[scott9050]

Mike is the man alright......

 

[GMAN]

Well I finally got the dash out that for me was one hell of a job. Sunday I will start putting in the black. Check out the mass of wires. It looks very intimidating.

I'm glad I have a brand new one stashed away I hope both of you replaced the heater cores while you had the dash out.
