Those wheels are 22 inch Momo Vantage, chrome did not agree with the Swedish climate so they were de-chromed and now has the same color as the rest of the car, Laser Red Metallic and fitted with Nitto 404 325/40R22
A couple of days later I visited Lovan of Zatzy.com to check out the progress of his 98 Navigator.
(You can check it out hereLovan Navi, sorry it's only in Swedish)

Dempa passed by and took these pics.

It has started snowing again so I had to go into the garage to take the next pictures, dont know if the bad focus of the pics is because it's so cold. better pics will be added ASAP.
In my opinion new cars are very plain interiorwise, so I took some inspiration from the 50's and Voila!

Sorry for the Nifty "carpets", car is outfitted with red carpets from Beverly Hills Motoring ( bastards, charges my card to much and shipped nada!).
The shiny thing on top of the engine is a Kenne Bell blower

Sorry for the lack of focus, will better myself!

New Pix April 2004!
car was exhibited at the Bilsport Custom & Performance show in Jonkoping Sweden
Arrival!! Check the finished grille piece!
Solid chunk of polished billet aluminum with engraved Lincoln logo and the new water cut mesh inserts with horisontal Lincoln logos!! Stylish!!!!

Don´t know why but the car always look orange when lit by halogen and photographed?!?!?!

Check out those OTTO pipes!!! Also redid a set of APC Euro lights to be street legal in Sweden.

here is a closer look at the billet "raptor tooth"

October 2004 I was invited to the X-treme car Show in Helsinki - Finland. Won "Best Street Machine" trophy! Had a show wing made.

Wing is just for show!! Will probably rip the rear door off if driven with!!!

History of my 2000 Navigator
Ordered the car Sept 99 got it February 2000.
Was ordered fully loaded except Navigation ( US software do not work in Europe ).
At arrival it was missing the foldback mirrors and the AC seats options I ordered.
Did a monchrome paint job, did all the engine work spring 2000, also added every stainless piece J&J could offer ( grilles, tow hooks, runnings boards, rear board ). did the interior work at that time as well. Got Momos 20 inch Vantage with Pirellis.
Used the car as that until fall 2003, switched the 20's to 22's with Nittos 305/45R22 in 2001.
My ride has always set the standard for the rest of Stockholms Navigator owners and their rides were starting to look like mine, so I decided to go in a completely different direction. The results can be seen on the photos! Hope you like it!!!

Comment: To my knowledge Lincoln does not sell cars in Europe, so all Lincolns has to be imported as "for personal use". Because of tax dues, dealers do not import them. Therefore there are not to many of them around, gas price also "helps out", currently in Sweden it's $1.25 a liter!!!! But if you can't afford the batteries, don't buy the toys!!!!

Plans for the future:
Exterior:
Maybe a larger wing???
Interior:
Would love to get 4 Recaro Style in Leather or some Volvo R-series chairs.
A new steering wheel, Lincoln original
Engine: OK as it is!
MultiMedia: Nothing, been working with sound, light and video for the last 25 years. Sound of the new exhaust system gives more pleasure.

More pics to be added soon!
