Indeed. I used to tell people I had about 10 grand in my car, but that was before the paint. Its probably more like 15 grand now but I really don't know. Or want to know for that matter. Way too damn much for a $100 car though.Originally posted by Lincolnmania View Post86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

How far ahead prior to installation should they be greased? Should I order the parts and have the mechanic grease them 2 weeks prior?Originally posted by 79lincolnlover View PostComment

Greasing them 2 weeks prior might be a stretch. When the mechanic has your Merc on the hoist and the parts on hand is what I was thinking.Originally posted by Mike_Windsor View Post'79 Continental Town Car

I'll only add up the receipts if I ever sell my car and am trying to convince the buyer he's getting a good deal.

We had an issue with members throwing temper tantrums and deleting tech related info out of their own threads. Those days are over though. So it's not to bust anyone's balls, but to preserve information.Originally posted by Mike_Windsor View PostComment

Any chance of that being reversed in the future?Comment

probably not. you never know when someone will get their nickers in a twist.

Latest repair completed (today): Replaced front rotors and bearings. I no longer get a foot massage whenever braking.
The front rotors were from the factory and were clogged with debris and stuff.Comment
