All is right with the world. I have a car that needs much love.

Pictured above is basically a clone of the Lincoln I just picked up for quite a good deal. The one pictured is a bit cleaner.

I'm OK with that. Here's why:

As much as I love my Mustang and Cougar; the only time I really get to do anything to them now is when I clean them. I have plans for a torque converter for the Mustang (mid 11's in the quarter will be mine), but I'm gonna have a shop do that. I don't have the tools or space anymore. This car needs some love and I am more than willing to give it. I've already fixed the trim on both interior door panels, replaced the power window motor for the driver side window, and had the oil and coolant changed. The oil and coolant I had done at one of those quick change places as the car sat so long the coolant in it was rather nasty. I've driven 50 miles since and it has gotten gross again. This car sat for quite some time......

Ebay has been my friend. I ordered new corner markers and a right side parking lamp assembly (all cracked) as well as a PRISTINE set of the BBS wheels (as pictured above) for the princely sum of $160 plus shipping.

Things that still need addressing:

— Replace heater core hoses

— Change coolant (AGAIN)

— Fix vacuum line on parking brake release

— Find new wheel well trim and replace existing

— Same for belt molding

— Call paintless dent removal guy for dent on driver door (he already saw it, just have to get it fixed)

— Wet sand roof and hood to get loose clear coat off and respray.
