after looking high and low and passing on many of them, i snagged my new ride today. its a black over mocha 93 one owner 75k on it. she drives really nice, but does need some work, interior is getting changed out to black, trans has a broken 1-2 spring so i'll flush out the whole trans when i change that accumulator too, needs a tie rod but all the rest of the front end is brand new, brakes are brand new, the car has just been sprung with an arnott kit but tonight i already swapped in the rear springs from my 1.5 lowered strut masters kit, tomorrow i'll do the front struts and tie rods. i'm also putting real wood grain in it too. i got a nice kenwood excelon kdc859 going in it, 4 kicker s68 6x8's for the inside, an infinity 10 for the trunk, and a clarion and rockford punch amp for the trunk. it needs a paint job, but i didnt care, i wanted a mark that needed paint, it doesnt need body work its straight, so im going to repaint it black with a blood red metallic in the clear and all the chrome trim is getting sprayed black too. im picking up a new grill for it tomorrow the one on it is broken, and i have to glue the corner light chromes back on. i cant make up my mind what i will do for wheel yet, i'd like some speedstars for it, or some cobra r's. i'm gonna order mufflers for it too and do the exhaust a true dual again with an x-pipe. i may go with magnaflows this time i want it deep not like my 98 was with the bullets. i'm having all the windows tinted 5% and i'm going to even have the windshield done 30% i want this whole car black, everything but the wheels i put on it. overall its a nice straight solid as hell car and i only paid 1500 bucks for it. in another month this car wont look anything like it does now. the pics are dark, but i had to snap some, i was running around all day trying to get this thing and get back to the shop. it was just listed in autotrader last night at 11 pm and i was the first person to see it, while i drove the owner back home, 3 people called his cell asking about it, i guess i called in the nick of time lol. i'll update with progress pics as i continue with my new project, this time, i'm gonna make it sick, even if it takes a year, this one is project, and im gonna go nuts.

Very nice! A Florida car for 1500 bucks, you can't beat that.

Those snowflakes look great.

Are you sure that you want a black interior down there?:D
 
Nice lookin ride jamie, its even got less miles than mine at 110k;) guess it may be awile until you have an intake tube ready with the new project going now. its ok dude take your time I'm patient and can wait.
 
Lucky lucky I have been thinkin of painting my car white 94 Black. The mark lookds great in black. Good luck look forward to seeing the progress. When you do the interior are yhou swapping everything or painting? Id be very interested in your interior =)
 
Nice find......and price!!!!!

Nice find......and price!!!!!

Especially in black. What do you have planned for the interior? We all know its gonna have a super gloss black exterior (i hope) it stays black. They are the coolest Mark's out there.
Two tone it man! haha The interior i mean. You can get the perforated Mustang FR500 wheel to fit also in there. I'm running one now. Glad you saved her from the crusher.
 
jeremi, i have already gave it thought, i have a 97 black carpet, back seat, door panels, console and dash already. even if i do the whole swap over to black, regardless how i do it, i think i am using the 97 door panels anyways, i love the gen 2 door panels. i am picking up a garnett red 94 with ebony gut tomorrow, so hopefully most of what i need will be inside it. today i went to the junkyard that i send all my shells to because i knew they had 2 marks there, well i needed a grill, mine is broken, the 93 they had , had a perfect grill, well they got rid of the car, damnnnnnnnnnnn, the 95 has a wrecked front :( so i got the driver marker light with chrome on it for 20 bucks, i got the driverside door handle for 20 bucks, and the wood grain cup holder for 10 bucks, i was going to take the 95 eatc also, but he told me 75, no thanks i'll wait on that lol. i also needed the fuel pop button, so i took the one of the this 95 for a 5 finger discount!! i know i know, so what, dont judge me you would have taken it too lol. so today i changed the tie rods in it because they were bad, i put the whole lowered coil kit in it, and put my 245-50 coopers on it. what a huge difference and man does it look mean as hell sitting that low, oh i put somemonroe's in the rear too and put new mounts on em. i cant wait to really get going on this car, it already drives like a sports car, man does it handle now!! tomorrow i'll post pics of the new stance, its already looking mean!
 
Nice find, can't wait to see how it turns out, I'm curious as to how the black will look with the blood red metallic.
 
im picking up a 3 inch scoop this week for it to, so i can bond it to the hood and glass over the seams. i would go with a true cowl hood but im not blowing 600 bucks on a hood, the scoop will be fine, looks is what im after, not function!! my green 93 is sensor lowered and you can see the difference in the black 93

Very curious to see how that hood will look. I love the cowl hoods but like you said the price is a lil steep.
 
thats the fastest i ever found something i needed lol. i got a whole black 94 interior today. bought a garnett red 94 with ebony interior and got the whole car running and driving for 600 bucks. tomorrow i start my deconstruction lol, oh this is gonna suck lmao.
 
its like O.C.D i have a morning and evening routine on the web, i search craigslist, autotrader, automart, autoextra and ebay twice a day everyday. when new listings pop up i jump on them. this car that i bought today was actually on craigslist as a car for sale that i was interested in for a driver before i bought my black one, it was 80 miles away from me so i couldnt look at it right away, in the week i waited to look at it, the car blew a head gasket, she was asking 1300 before this happened, then emailed me and told me this happened, so it went from a car of interest for myself, to a parts car for the shop, and i told her i wouldnt give her any more then 6 bills, she accepted, i drove up today with a dolly and towed her back 80 miles to her new resting place, the little shop of mark VIII horrors. i finally got pics in the sun too this morning.
