Austin's 95 Grand Marquis

[Austin]

reminds me of the droopy red piece of cloth that mine had, yuk! a nice headliner is a must!!

Once it's done, it's like having a whole new ride!

 

[Austin]

Here's a breakdown of the process.

Wire brush the old fabric and backing off of the headliner.

Clean up the mess and check for low spots.

Set the adhesive and lay some fabric down, then install!

Did some more work with the leather today. Broke out the expensive pH balanced cleaner and fancy conditioner. Got some pretty good results, if I don't say so myself! There are plenty of cracks that aren't going anywhere, but you won't blame any new ones on me!

Bummer... after a few days of cold and warm driving, I've come to the conclusion that I need to wash my hands of this car or end up replacing/rebuilding the transmission. It slips from 1-2-3 when cold, 1-2 when warm. Any tips?

If I do hold on to the car for the long run, I'd like for it to be pushing some HP - a sure transmission will definitely be necessary.

Flush and filter on the trans is where I would start.

Personally, I say ditch it for one of these:

Like Eric says id change the filter and fluid in the trans but if it's got a higher mileage i'd skip the trans flush as sometimes you can just wind up pushing debris into places inside the trans it hasn't already got into.

clean it up really really good... like your already doing...

find a junkyard trans thats good.. swap it in...

sell the car.. AND DONT BUY ANYTHING ELSE......

And its probably not too far from you...

I'm thinking I might just put a new used transmission in and build it up. This car is really growing on me.

Seriously, where's the fun in that???

When I was searching Vics in your area I saw a boatload of CV, TC, & MGM transmissions listed...

[Austin]

Thanks Roy! And I'm going to 'attempt' to not purchase anything else, but if the F-150 were to find a new home...

Austin i think it's time that the admin team designed and awarded you the very first FordtruckFanatics vehicular dealer licence (fords only)

 

[Austin]

I think so!

On an unrelated note, I just read your title under you username, and I don't know if it was because I just woke up, my lysdexia, or something else, but i read it as: Will work for Polish food.
