Hi all - I just joined grandmarq.net last night. I posted a message last night looking for a couple of parts - header panel and grill for my 89 grand marquis.
Linconlnmania already said hi like 5 mins after my post - and yeah lincoln we are practically neighbors. which one is you in the pic by the way the one on the left or right - cuz the one on the left looks alot like dee snyder.
Anyway my 89 was given to me by a friend - it just needed a heater core and the grille and header panel are slightly damaged so I am looking to replace those - it has 108k and it is a god awful khaki color.
My plan is a complete restoration - with alot of modifications. Please don't flame me when I tell you what will be done.
The whole car will be painted House of Kolors lipa blue with flakes. The vinyl top will be replaced with a white one. The wheels will be swapped for 17 inch RVM Daggs. Also I'd like to add header / dual exhaust. I'm not bothering with engine mods as my goal is looks/cruising. I want the lowrider look without the lowrider. I really think ( MY OPINION) that it would be a waste to try to hotrod that car when it weighs 4,400 lbs and considering that a .10 sec reduction in 1/4 time requires an additional 10 hp (as a general rule of thumb) i'd have to spend ENTIRELY too much money to be competitive in racing - I'm an all or nothing kind of person - so I will go ALL show.
Once again we all have different views so please don't flame me.
I look forward to talking to you all
