minux Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The grey controller sparked some interest in what I am up to, so here it goes - Traveled the World, sailed quite a bit, built a family, and (more or less) got out of video games. Recent video games pick ups would be the Neo Geo Mini and a pre-order in for Turbo Grafx Mini.. My recent passion project, finishing a total restoration last week - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82-T/A Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Nice... is that an 89? My grandfather had one just like it. I have a 2002 Crown Victoria LX that I inherited from my grandfather in 2004. I just sits in the garage, has just under 50k miles on it.

The car is a 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS with every option (leather, sound, etc.) Total repairs were significant - - Swapped out rear air, replacing shocks and coils all around - New brakes - calipers, pads, rotors, lines - New power steering pump - New radiator - New alternator - New windshield wiper motors - New power window regulators and door lock actuators - New plugs, coils, wires - Put a new head unit in with Bluetooth and clearer than my modern car, going 80s/90s with an Alpine, really popping the vintage JBL speakers - New TV cable and bushings - Drained transmission fluid, replaced filter, and new pan with drain plug - Quite a few other things that escape me Yeah, man, 36K miles, and my weekend car. Awesome time capsule. Was my grandfather's and one of those cars I always wanted. Edited November 17, 2019 by minux 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minux Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Forget another big item, headers on back stainless steel exhaust. Not duals, because I do not like loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
