What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

I found this in an old hardware store, made by DAP. Glued the lens on then ran a 1/2" bead sealing the lense to the housing. Are you talking about Gen 1? Cut or cooked off the lens?

Gen 1 LSC Housings.

I used a heat gun to take them apart. I glued the lenses back together with GOOP as suggested by members on here. It says adhesive and sealant. If that's good enough then I'm fine, I just wanted to be sure. Definitely don't want moisture getting in there.

That's the first time that car has ever seen snow!

 

[jbelcourt]

Installed some Bosch Icon wiper blades..absolutely love them (it POURED this afternoon so it was perfect timing for the switch).
Also installed my Gates serpentine belt. We'll see tomorrow morning when she's cold if that damn squeak is gone or not.

Speaking of wiper blades..Are the sprayers adjustable on gen2's?


Anybody?

got her some seafoam for when the exhaust is done shes going to be a heavy smoker 304k and never seafoamed

Scored a wrongly listed gen2 #1 key fob on ebay. I also bought a new case/buttons for my existing remote and 2 CR2032 batteries. Got everything listed above for under $7.50 shipped, it was a good day.



Also lowered my windshield sprayers a hair to get them to spray lower and more evenly on the windshield. I now have a dry-er- roof and much cleaner glass.

Edit: There is no actual adjustment for the sprayer, but there is wiggle room where you can move it up/down a mm in either direction. May not seem like a lot but was enough to make a difference.

Did these


Then did a test drive
full pull at the end of the 1/4

Installed a chrome button and spring on my multifunction switch today. Now I don need to fumble with a small screwdriver to get the w/w washers to spray.

Wish I had a camera this morning going to work. Had some fun slip sliding the Hot Rod Lincoln around on the dirt road from the house RWD and snow make for a lot of fun if you know what you're doing! :lol:

Junk yard hopping for parts for my 2000 Grand Marquis, I can't pass up these buttons for the fuel door release. I replaced mine with a chrome one (it was grey but chrome matches the trunk pop).

damn Tony, your snow pics= closed mouth-vomit

I moved from Colorado to Arizona for a reason. Today, at the junk yard at 9 am, it was already 65 degrees. Currently pretty close to 85. I shoveled exactly zero feet of sunshine the last 20 years living away from it!

 

[jbelcourt]

Switched out the broken drivers door handle today, plus MacGyver'd in something I made with some zip ties, aluminum fence rods...or whatever they were...and about 2 hours of time (LOL) so I can unlock my door by key. When I got the car it had no lock rods so I had to go through the passenger door to unlock the drivers side. Not anymore!

Is that a spare chrome fuel button? I'd like one if you're willing to sell it

I installed a chrome fuel button on mine too, looks great next to the trunk popper.

I thought you put that tent up to put the Mark in it. You've got all the making of a nice garage growing right there in the backyard

aha, that's much better...only about 4-5 feet of snow, not the 6-7 feet in the other pics!

There's one in the pole garage, one in the house garage, and that's the 95 under the cover. I have another one coming next week.
