What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

[2002WRXSTi]

Those things look great, it's the little things like that can really set things off

That's what I was thinking too, nothing major just an appearance thing. Now to buy some more vinyl to do other parts, including a lot of interior parts.

Where did you get the vinyl wrap from? Oh and looks like you are the only one missing a supercharger, better get on it

Not the first time I heard that today, halfway there my dad called me and asked me where I was because they decided to have fun.

Wrap is from here they also sell it in different colors: http://www.metrorestyling.com/Metro-3D-Carbon-Wrap-Vinyl-s/4879.htm

Went to Pull-A-Part Saturday to look at a '97 that had been brought in on the 21st. Was pretty well picked clean already, but I got the ballast for the rear neon, the console lid, passenger side door courtesy light, and the little plastic seat trim pieces that cover the mounting bolts. I put the console lid on today.

I worked at a place for a year doing the Vinyl on 4x8 foot signs and stuff. So I saw you can get the Carbon Fiber in all sorts of colors including White CF. Was thinking of doing hood, roof and trunk in the White CF to be a Ricer Mark VIII

Can't believe I actually washed my Mark today and discovered that it is a Pearlish color?

Well when you look real close up to it at least

Another mark viii gives up its parts
This will live on in a fox mustang

 

[LaserSVT]

That's a fun swap. Going with hydroboost or just no power brakes?

 

[slowmkviii]

I don't know if he's decided yet
Sold the motor to a guy that's been itching to do a V8 swap for a year or so.

 

[Epwillis]

Are the dust shields replaceable on the marks? anyone know where I can get one for the passenger front? mine broke in half

 

[slowmkviii]

The are rivited on
I would offer mine but why pay shipping just go to the JY with a battery drill.

It's good excercise.

And when you walk back out 10 min latter there will be 3 cars parked right next to you.

Put the Mark's wheels on the Cougar yesterday. Then washed and waxed it.



I guess it's about time to change my sig pic.

Hmm...

That's impressive for a maaco job..you really need to do a good photoshoot of that car when the sun is low in the sky to show off that hue.

good photos after I do the hub swap with Cobra rims and front calipers...
the Parts Genie brought a box from Waco, Texas today- so i can start putting the white Mark together again, then tackle the brown one in earnest

glad I got my parts, sux I had to go online and raise Caine for it to be 'expedited' into shipped status

Trying not to forget about the mark..its hard going from driving it everyday to only driving it once or twice a week since I'm off at work for two or three days at a time..can't even walk outside to check her out

Washed and waxed it the other day, and ordered a car cover for it online.

Ran into this guy at the gas station. He's the original owner, car has 88k original miles on it..only flaw I could find were a few small door dings and lasagne'd rear window trim..very nice ride. He's already fixed the neon with a glitch balast and shows some interest in internet searching so I told him to join LVC..we'll see if he remembers.
