With all the OEM parts drying up....even springs aren't sold anymore ...the LS/LSE are definitely becoming antiques
Ironically that's kinda why i got mine, thought it would be cool to have antique plates on an old Lincoln. However that was before i knew about all the cooling system problems and lack of parts, prolly not gonna make it to be old enough to qualify for the antique \collector plates, which i think is about 40 years in my state, ha

I'm a day late again. Just realized that I don't get on the computer on the same days that I work on the cars. Anyway, yesterday I went to Harry's of Pennsburg and scored an '06 front bumper and a pair of waaay under there splash shields. The bumper is something that our late son wanted for the car so I obliged his wishes. The RF window regulator has also been removed and the seats are tattered, the wheels are used but otherwise it is all in, albeit dirty, pretty good shape. It is also the first '06 I recall ever seeing.

Pedal pads came yesterday and they looked very familiar, they are same as the ones on our manual Escort. No surprise there! The cup holder with door came during the night, it was on the steps this morning. Pleasant surprise, it's not midnight black, it's dark charcoal, same as our interior. AWESOM!

Went on another online spending spree, though not as big as the one I went on in December. I bought a pair of rear lower control arms and shifter seals from Jaguar.oempartsonline.com, a set of clutch screws, and a hydraulic hose/tube (so I will now have all the parts for a clutch job) and a set of isolators from Terry's Jaguar, and a pair of pedal pads and, get this, a single cup holder (manual guys will understand) from, not a salvage yard, but of all places, Ford Parts Giant! The cup holder has a couple minus's its not a color that any 2000 interior had (midnight black) and I had to pay a $10 antique part premium. Is my LS an antique? Anyone out there have antique plate on their LS? I don't, it's the newest car I have. Oh well, it was affordable and I can paint to match. Still on the list are a right side valve cover gasket set, sport springs and shocks. Not to mention a few parts for the Escorts.

Say, LSE_4_LYFE, probably too late now, but Terry's Jaguar has whole shift assemblies for about $560. Maybe the same as LS's. I did end up finding a spare transmission that had the shift linkage attached. Ty thou, I appreciate it.
