Ok, so that's maybe a little crazy, but mad props for the skill set! As one other person mentioned, tell me about then center cupholder! I've seen one other person who did a similar setup, with and LED Lincoln logo and USB charging. Any hints or tips for someone who probably can't even begin to replicate it?View attachment 828576822

I never liked the way the door panel covered the door speakers so this happened.

My street has a spot where my neighbors lowered stang always scrapes. So i might drop it a little with the airbag sensors. But cant drop it all the way. Not sure yet.

Did a transmission pan drop & torque converter drain in hopes to clean up some TC shudder. Its a 98 with 127k
I found the original dip stick plug in the pan… I was the first to drop the pan. Kinda feels like a special moment… lol

If your in there, you might want to consider the J mod. and check you valve springs for a broken one. The Jmod makes one hell of a difference in clean sharp 1-2-3 shifts. Factory porting was horribly mushy and oil heating. If you havent read this, its worth a look.

Oh, I recommend Amsoil trans fluid. It fixed 2 shudder problems on 2 different vehicles I'v had. It stinks for about 2K miles in the Lincoln but the bad smell does eventually go away. The mark shifts like a bandit w/ Jmod and Amsoil in the pan.

Went to the tint shop and had Nano ceramic tint (50%) put on the entire windshield. It took the tint guy nearly 2 hours, but I can't find one flaw. Wish I had done this long ago.

Your car looks great. Looked up the ceramic film. I'm glad I never got around to doing mine with the old stuff. Its on my bucket list now.

Today, I looked at my ‘95 LSC lovingly and woefully as the sunroof exited its normal and proper placement a few weeks ago.
I have the replacement glass and all the mechanicals. But, am apprehensive about the procedure of replacing.
Other than that, started her up to get the juices flowing.

Ok. On this 1998 Lincoln Mark 8, I have these codes, that make the check engine light, to light up. P0750, P0117, P0708, and P1414. What do I need to replace, to remove the check engine light? I am trying to get the car ready for an emission test, and pass, too. I need help.

I bought a '97 mark viii LSC just the other day, so hi everyone!
She's a bit of a project, so let's start with the ugly: suspension and bushings are clapped out front and rear, which from what I read around the forums is inevitable.. system check complains of trouble in TC/ABS, likely related to the thrashed ride.
But, here's where the good starts: I've got a nice head start on the fixes, previous owner had stashed in the trunk a full front coilover and rear spring conversion kit, plus both front UCA/LCA's with new bushings, all motorcraft OEM and Moog balljoints. I was sad to see the taillight's cracked in the middle and full of water, BUT.. also included was a NEW neon taillight assembly, still in Ford dealer packaging, even with matching paint and LSC badge!!
Those are the big fixes, she's only 87k miles, very clean light graphite interior, almost-immaculate silver frost paint, save for a doink in the driver's rear quarter and some haze on the nose. Everything works, all the seat powered motions, sunroof, everything. she's nearly optioned out, with 10-cd sound, homelink, was even fitted with the carphone from the dealer
only missing heated seats, which 11 months of the year I won't miss (the heater itself doesnt work, add that to the work list lol)
I'm happy the powertrain looks good from what I can see, nothing's leaky, fires right up, smogged easy (CA). I'm no stranger to heavy duty repair jobs like this car needs, but this is the first car I've ever owned that will be *NICE* inside and out, once the wrenching is done. This's the first car I've owned with leather seats, a sunroof, or a proper giant trunk. Never owned a lincoln, or a luxury ride of any kind really, nor anything with 300 hp! I'm pleased I got a good price, given the repairs needed, so with a bit of luck, some more cash, and yet more hard work she'll be snazzy, and taken care of (besides a cheeky donut or burnout every once in a while
).
pics, on the trailer:
parked on a slight downhill, the front end droops real low on the busted air springs
Also pictured above is the oddball right front wheel (the old guy before the old guy I bought it from had it lost in his garage stuffed with junk, apparently).. this didnt bug me too much, junkyard cars have plenty of the directional wheels, but it looks like that's a kinda rare octastar wheel, and I've got it as a bonus?? lolz. I may keep it this way, with the odd wheel, cause it'll be street parked in Oakland eventually, and she can't be looking *too* nice
anyway, hi to all, happy to join this forum!
