I love the two tone! You should clean up that diff cover too.

Keep it up!

I see the brown dashpad is in. Did you dye it yet? Spotted 3 Grand Marquis in the Aurora U-Pull-It last weekend, an '88 and two '86/'87s if you are still looking for stuff. I took all the plastic retainers for the bottom rear window trim (for every one that came off intact, I probably cracked two, but I got enough of them now).

No I havent dyed it yet, but i got rid of all of the fading using some super old (can said use before 1/10/78) K-Mart Interior cleaner/protectant that was in my garage. I could'nt take the vibrating/creaking the old one did.

Where is the Aurora one at?


AND!

Thanks for all the postive coments guys! I am going to paint up the diff cover sometime soon for sure

The Aurora yard is on Plain Avenue, one block North of Liberty Street, between Eola Road and Farnsworth. You can take I-88 to the Farnsworth exit, go South to Liberty street and turn right. Make a left on Sartor, then a right on Plain. It is called Aurora Auto Parts ($2.00 to get into the yard).

[Georges86]

Thanks man, I'm going to check them out.


Well I got my Duals done today!

2.25 Inch Piping

H-Pipe

Turbo Mufflers

All guarunteed not to rust out for the life of the car, for $285 out the door, not too bad! Work was done by Iggy's Custom Exhaust of Norridge, Ill (Been around for 45 years now)

Im really happy with it, quiet at idle, and sounds nice when you give it some throttle!

that's a great price. Does that include all the parts in that number?

The install looks clean too. Yay for old-school local shops that have pride in their work.

+1 I'm having mine done by a local shop like that eventually

You should post of a vid of the exhaust, I'm dying to here it!

Yes thats everything. Parts Labor, the whole deal. I love this shop.

And yeah they insist on high quality welds, and having a clean look, they did my Montego too, could'nt be happier.

I'm going to try take a vid when the wind dies down a bit

Dang, that car is coming along very nicely!

[91grandmarquis]

Thats a good deal on the exhaust. Mine came with duals, and I just put the mufflers on and it cost more than that to have them welded in. Although the mufflers were a bit pricey. Your car is coming along very well. I love it. Oh you should cut those tailpipes back and throw some tips on there.

[Georges86]

Thanks guys!


And yes, I do plan to put some tips on in the future, I just want something low-key, not too flashy you know?


Also the headliner is getting done as I type this, Pics to come later!

[91grandmarquis]

I don't think mine are too out there, I would like them to tuck up under the bumper a bit more, but there are brackets in the way.

But I know what you mean.

[Georges86]

Yeah, I like your tips a lot, I'm looking around for some ideas.


So Heres my exhaust video! Sounds pretty close to how it does in person, what do you guys think?
