Hey all, after 3 years or so, I'm back to these forums with a new Panther platform car. I just picked up a 2004 Crown Victoria P71 last week, and I'm looking to really get into it and learn as much as I can. My last car in this area was a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis GS. Now that I've got one a bit newer, and quite a bit nicer, I'm looking to do some tasteful upgrades, and don't really know where to start. So, about me, I'm 23 and live in Minne-snow-ta, and have a fair education on automobiles. My last car was a 1998 Volkswagen Jetta GLX, fun car to drive, but nothing that can be a daily driver in the winter here. So I dumped it and bought this new beauty last Friday for $2900.
Currently at 129,500 miles and climbing, as I can't get sick of driving this machine. Dual spotlights, 16" steel cop wheels, some new Uniroyal Touring tires, and a bare interior.
I'm hopefully going to put a new stereo head unit in today, and work on upgrading the speakers in the next few weeks, possibly switch out some interior and exterior lights to LED or SMD bulbs so I'll never have to change them again. Then, come spring time, I'll be jumping into some performance modifications. No heated garage here, too cold for much motor work besides any little repairs I'll need.
So, just stopping in to re-introduce myself. Hello.
