Got a BBK off road h-pipe and put it on. Then I took it to the exhaust shop cause the mid pipes needed to be bigger. I just got it back and it sounds suhweeet! Here's a link to the exhaust vid.

Went and took some nice pics of the LSC and posted them up.

02/15/08
Got the car back from the painter, and it's looking slick. Pics in a day or two.

02/04/08
Dropped the Mark off at the body shop for damage repair, and a complete repaint. :)

Moron friend backed into my passenger door and rear quarter pulling out of the garage yesterday. Merry Christmas indeed. It is under his insurance, but I'm gonna save and get the whole car repainted :P

The Ford Racing Trak-lok is in. No more peg leg!

10/14/07
Added an oil pressure gauge, did the MAF conversion, got a new license plate frame from speedysigns.com, a pearl shift knob from flameball.com, replaced a couple decals underhood with new ones from 5.0 Resto, put on a Lincoln emblem horn button for the Grant wheel, and there's a Ford Racing Trak-lok awaiting install.

The interior is pretty much done now, I got the car back from the upholsterer. It also has a Grant Challenger steering wheel, a voltmeter, and a signature series suede dashmat. The Mark also has a catback exhaust with 2.5" pipe and magnaflow mufflers.

The Thunderbird has been sold and all of the cash from the sale is going into the LSC. I've decided since the Mark VII is a fox body, 5.0 HO, and it's a 5 speed, it now has greater potential than my MN-12.

The back seat is at the upholsterer, and the rest is going in Tuesday. I can't wait to see the results!
The LSC is now sitting on Weld rodlites. 15x7 in front and 15x8 in rear. The tires are BFG Radial T/As 215/70-15 in front and 255/60-15 in rear. They look amazing! I think this may be the first Mark VII with rodlites.

The front wheels did not directly bolt on. They were slightly rubbing on the brake caliper bolt heads. A small amount of grinding on the bolt heads gave enough clearance.

It's finally riding on new rear bags from Arnott now.

I also picked up a K&N filter, voltmeter, oil pressure gauge, and gauge cups.

I've started two toning the interior. I found a 88 LSC in the junk yard with a nice burgundy interior so I decided to use some of the good parts from it in mine.
05/18/07
Washed the LSC and drove it out to the lock and dam for some new pics

05/16/07
The 5 speed swap is nearly complete! It is driving and shifting well. I just have some final touches with the shifter plate and clutch adjustment and it should be done!

05/08/07
Block plate arrived in the mail today.

05/05/07
I have started the T5 swap! The mark now has 5 speed pedals and a clutch cable.

05/01/07
I traded a couple of Flowmaster 40s for a 5.0 T5 Bellhousing. All I lack now is the clutch parts and a T5 block plate.

04/28/07
Got a little more done to the Mark. It now has a new door lock actuator and bracket. I was able to use the keyless entry for the first time today! The entire sound system has also been replaced with a factory JBL system. A few more parts for the T5 swap have been sourced as well.

Here's the 80's import fighter from Lincoln. It's a 1989 Lincoln Mark VII LSC.

The Mark VII LSC was a valiant effort on the part of Lincoln Mercury to offset the high end sport luxury coupes such as the BMW 635csi and the Mercedes 500 SEC.
To do this Lincoln decided to build it on the sporty Fox platform. The Thunderbird and Cougar more specifically. Equip it with new technology, a comfortable and sporty interior, and timeless styling. But offer it for tens of thousands less than a BMW or Mercedes. The Mark VII was introduced in 1984 and was a great success. It would continue in production for 8 years finally ending in 1992.

My car is Light Titanium Pearl Metallic with a Titanium interior. It has the relatively rare Lear Siegler sport bucket seats with the cloth inserts. This is a DSO 75 California Car. It's also kind of rare because it doesn't have a moonroof, JBL audio, or auto dim mirror. It's low option for a Mark VII which is good for weight. It was sitting in a field with a bunch of other junk cars. It wasn't in a junk yard though. It came with a title but no keys. We towed the car home and threw some gas and a battery in it and it fired right up. I'm doing a sorting out restoration on this car as well as modding it. It could still use a little work, but it's getting there :)

Here it is after the new paint job, and a little TLC ;)

Here's some pics of the interior
