[Grand Marquis GT]

351W/Stang AOD/4.10

91 front clip, cowl hood, paint, and more interior/suspension mods...

[Lincolnmania]

aluminium driveshaft. rebuilt aod with wide ratio, 98+ steering box, cowl hood, maf conversion, supercharger

[Paul_]

have you picked up a front clip yet? before i send the Merc to the boneyard i plan on pulling some body parts for Shifty(unfortunately the interior sucks, and nothing really mechanical is left-motor seized i think from sitting, and the tranny is already dead). if you want(i'll have to clean it big time and you can paint it) i'll let ya have the header panel (and requisite pieces like bezels and shit) come spring, after the tranny install i could make a road trip that way you don't have to pay shipping. only thing is the filler panel has two holes from a bad foglight install on my uncles part, and the bumper is part of Shifty now. let me know

[Grand Marquis GT]

the filler panel?

and yes, id be interested...

[Cogs]

91 front and rear, bigger brakes, trac loc rear with disks, remove vinyl top delete most chrome, custom bumper with foglights, custom rear 3rd brake light in the trunk lid(LED of course), side exhaust, flowmasters, built 302 or 351 with EFI with at least 350hp, custom black/grey 2 tone interior, probably more, all I can think of for now.

[Cogs]

Oh yeah, I want to paint it dark blue metallic, like the new Marauders.

Tom, the filler panel between the header panel and the bumper. i think they went with that to streamline the look a bit.

Cogs, your prob. going to have to cut and weld to mount a rear panel from a 88-91 on there. reason i say that is whereas the older boxes like yours have that extension that houses the tailights, the 88-91's don't. they are part of the rear quarter panel. not saying it can't be done, but it'd be a whole shitload of work. that'd be awesome tho because you'd really throw people for a loop. anybody with half a brain about Cv's knows 87 was the last year for the coupe and the 88's debuted the rounded style.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Ill take it then. :carrot:

[Cogs]

I'm pretty sure theyre the same, the tail light should just mount where the current filler panel is. If I have lots of time soon, I'll try it. I have some 89 tail lights lying around.

tom fly up here and drive tims 88gm home.......he'll sell it real cheap....theres all your swap parts and a car to drive during the engine boltup......just make the 88 an 85 hehe

[Paul_]

are the lincoln seats that were cloth any comfier than the stock Fords? or should i just locate a grey leather set?

[Cogs]

damnit scott, ur tempting me, lol

DO IT DO IT!

[Lincolnmania]

yes my velour seats are more comfortable than a sofa and in decent shape yet for an 180,000 mi car....do it if you find a nice set.......the rear seats fit fine (proven on jeremys car) you need to use the cv gm tracks (towncar seat controls are in the door panels
