I'd much rather scrap the car then to do that repair. No thank you!
What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

Put my wheels on the correct way. I hate it when the tire shops put them on wrong.

Please!
i've been taking pics and putting them on facebook.
but i'll put something together for here.
Tire shop put mine in wrong too. Do i have to have a place remove the tires and put them on right or can i just switch the rims to the correct wheel?

It depends, are the tires directional? If they aren't you can switch them around so that they will all be rotating in the correct direction.

Depends on whether or not your tires are directional. If you have directional tires, then you will need to remove the tires and have them re-mounted on the correct wheels. If the tires aren't directional, then you can just switch the wheels to the correct side of the car and be good to go.
Edit: :lol: Lownslowlsc beat me to it by that much...

Got the air suspension fixed! Finally! New(ish) compressor and new o-rings in the rear solenoids did the trick. It was 25 degrees last night and the car was sitting exactly the same height this morning that it was at when I parked it last night.
Cool story.. now ya got time to send me the moon roof

Project car a.d.d.
I remember when I did the drivers handle in my car. Took me like 2hours of messing with it, getting mad, and walking away. Came back 30mins later and got it the first try. Was soooo pissed.
And for the subframe removal, Ive found that large prybars, sawzall, and holesaws are your best friend. And a lot of anti-seize. A LOT of anti-seize....
I have still yet to cover the holes I cut open... will be doing that before it hits the road again.

Interesting with all the air suspensions having problems all of a sudden.
Seem the guy that bought my Silver '98 LSC called me to tell me the rear is jacked up in the air. He took it to STS and a Ford Dealership and they both told him to look for the switch on top of the Pumpkin
Then they said to check EBAY cause they no longer list them as available at the Stealership. I told him I have a spare rear sensor but I have to find it and I ain't puttin it on either

Yes. First and second cats, no 3rd, muffler in place of the 3rd from an 88 Thunderbird (no clue what it is shaped like inside), then the stock pipe from the flange to the back. No rear mufflers.

iirc, there's a resonator, and a 3rd cat/Y-pipe on base models....resonator/silencer delete also? it sounds good btw...pretty loud outside it seems...my 40's are pretty loud, may swap to Magnaflow xl's this weekend

Not really, not to me. They always leak worse when it's cold.
Yeah i apologize, forgot about the resonator. Cut from the resonator the flange out. The section from the Thunderbird was a Y with a resonator i believe (V6) to a flange. Fit pretty much perfectly in placed if the section i cut out with some trimming.
Also, yes, deleted the silencer. It sounds pretty good to me, especially considering every piece i invested into the project was under $50 total.
