For those of us that have been following this build, I have decided to slightly modify my 93 Crown Vic to fit my active student lifestyle.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
this past week I have slimmed down the list of what modifications I will be doing as well as repairs that I must have done by October.
The first two steps have been a trailer receiver and roof rack(which I have temporarily removed due to wind noise)
The next step I have planned will be a pair of driving lamps to increase nighttime and/or hazardous visibility
The next steps will be recorded over the spring break where I will replace an axle seal and my E-brake. This project will most likely come full circle when I can get my hands on the heads and intake from a mustang wth the Romeo 281 4.6.
Things I would like to do would be to pull the fenders and bumpers from a similar Vic and some new shocks.
I want to keep it as modest as possible and keep as a much as its current functionality making sure that it’s still as much car than the trucklet I’ve been turning it into.
I’m also hoping for more snow

When you do the axle seal, there’s no reason not to do the other side at the same time, adds about 10 minutes to the process. Bearings and seals are cheap enough (don’t get no-name ones though, Timken, SKF, etc are good). 2 quarts-and-a-little-bit of gear oil and you’re on the way.
Make sure you can get the fill plug out before you take the diff cover off.
When you pull the axle make sure to inspect the axle shaft, since in a bout of terrible engineering decision-making, Ford decided not to use an inner race on the rear wheel bearings so if one starts to wear out (or the oil is low), it will chew into the axle shaft, which would then need replaced.
