    collision damage

    What do you think I am looking at here once I get a chance to get it up in the air and look at it? Other side doesn't seem to be out of whack, so maybe it didn't affect the sub frame? The steering wheel is clocked about 20 degrees to the right to drive straight.

    Always my luck (I make it myself)

    I think I know that going WOT is bad for things like cooling systems, and it never fails. My 97 Cougar had the plastic crossover intake, and I was driving it HARD (racing my wife, lame right?) and at the 1-2 gear change (JMod) I nearly spin it 360 degrees. The coolant crossover burst and laid...

    Dash top Gen I in a Gen II?

    My 97 Mark VIII has rattling dash top/vent panel. The tab on the drivers side far side one was broken off when I bought it. I have yet to find a decent Gray (I mean Graphite) one. I did buy a brown one (from a tan interior), and could dye it. It was relatively cheap but I really only got it...

    replacing door/fix window trim?

    So an accident awhile ago left me with passenger side damage. I got insurance quotes, but no body shops would take on the work (can't find parts, don't know what parts we need, etc). So the insurance company wrote me a check and basically washed their hands of the whole thing. It is the door...

    WTB: Gen II header panel/bumper cover/driverside headlight/grille

    Looking for the listed parts. Silver Frost LSC parts would be a bonus. I think that for the header panel and bumper cover greyhound seems to be the best? I live in Tucson Az. Accident 2 months ago (or longer), insurance drug their feet, the body shop strung me along (we can get some of the...

    Lower tension on trunk lid, or did you leave the bad neon ballast when using glitch b

    It seems like my trunk is at the lowest tension setting already, with the OEM ballast off of the trunk, it pops up and bounces off the top, I would like it to pop up and level off at half way (or barely pop up). Does everyone leave the old ballast (hahah, ballast in two meanings) and put the...

    No power to specific things, not blowing fuse(s)

    This started happening after I replaced the OEM Ballast and HID bulbs with aftermarket. I cut the connectors off the the OEM ballast and crimped them to the 9006 harness I got with the HID kit. I used crimps that have heat shrink on them and shrunk them, and electrical taped them anyways. It...

    Any pics/details of where to drill drain holes for neon center section gen II?

    My neon doesn't work, regularly has water, and is moldy/full of black gunk. Does anyone have any pictures of where they drilled the drains? I take it I should be doing this from the back, and through the reflector, without separating all the bits? Is it safe to pour liquid (water, and some sort...

    new (to me) 97 Mark VIII LSC

    Has some issues, looks wise and mechanically, but good enough to drive. 112k when I got it, 119k miles now. My current daily driver but once I get my 89 Cougar back on the road I will spend some time fixing things. I drove 140 miles to buy it, seller said he had the title. He didn't have the...
