    Wet sanded the trunk lid and some of the remaining FOMOCO blisters, bird sh** etching in the hood and machine buffed. Turned out very nice. Getting it ready to apply paint sealant I found on ebay.

    Did recently quite a lot !

    My Grand Marquis LSE
    Finally sold it 3 months ago after 510000 km. Was a fantastic car, dependable, powerful enough (after some mods), lots of driving fun in winter and quite rare in Quebec.

    My Marauder
    Installed the METCO bars and put a full set of new GoodRich summer tires. Car has now 27000 km.


    My Lincoln Town Car Designer
    Just received the HYPERTECH chip and the AFE air filter Stage 2. Put a full set of new PACER 18" wheels together with adapted KUMHO tires. Got a new set of PIRELLI Scorpions (studded) on the 17" factory wheels that will be installed before winter.

    Over the past 2 months;
    Had hood, roof and trunk lid repainted. Came out excellent.
    Had the door moldings reattached and repainted.
    Replaced rear window tint. Lost the rear defrost in the process.

    MM looks great.

    Note: pics don't show anything.

    Then the a/c went out on the wife's car. We drop it off and 5 minutes latter the a/c Compressor locks up on the MM. Waited 2.5 hours for a wrecked and over 18 people asked if I needed help.

    The driver recognized me from a tow 9 years ago!

    Had the compressor and condenser replaced.

    I was stopped in a Lowes parking lot. A guy in a minibike stops by to chat.

    I see a guy get dropped off who appears to be a bum. He tells me I need a jump. I tell him a wrecker is on the way. He then grabs each battery terminal and tries to twist them.

    I yell at him "DO NOT TOUCH THE CAR". He steps back and says whats wrong with the car is it's foreign built. I reply it was made in Canada! He walks away.
