Build Stuff, Lincoln Things

This will be a slow progressing thread as I'm gonna have to research and whatnot as I go. Not much to start, but a start to start.


You guys may know my Lincoln, some have seen in person, w/e shit about it.




Here's the deal.

I love the car, and I've been rocking various different "beaters" trying to keep it clean-ish. Got into Foci and kept getting retarded deal after another until I had a beater that was more proper with more money into it than my fun car. Priorities got fucked and stuff.

Just got a new job. It pays better. I can finally afford to go a little crazy with the Lincoln. Focus is now a realistic dd and the focus is on the Lincoln. f&#(@&$ word choice.

Anywho, I had done some shit to the Lincoln. It did start like this after all:


Look at that, looks like garbage, all stock and shit.

So I put some shit ass Cobra Rep wheels on it, SUNK AS F*&$, cus thats just what the Lincoln guys do. And I did a half ass drop set up, shit tricks the ecu to fully dump, but thats it, either jacked in the damn air, or on its shnutz, no sexy middle ground. Did some performance shit, but F*&$ this thing has a 4 valve 4.6, its got plenty more in her.

So yea, F*&$ that stupid shit, time to get real.

Sunday I went and bought some wheels, Rob was there, Matchbox or w/e, he took this pic of one of them:


Much better.

Old shit, 17x7.5F, 17x9R

New, 17x9.5F,17x11R

Yea, that'll do. No one does wide stuff on these so its uncharted.

Gonna do a real bag set up. Put those wheels on, and probably repaint that stuff, the whole thing. Some headers, and a new exhaust set up. That's this years goal for H2Oi.

Beyond that. Engine/trans/drivetrain work. Doing it big.

Enjoy if you want.

Next update is most likely bags, so I gotta save for that.

I'll probably get more pics of the wheels though so yea.

Oh HELL yeah Jake. I didn't know those BBS' were yours.

That's sick. Love the mark 8

Yup, they're Corvette bolt pattern so I'll be running adapters. They're gonna poke, I'm gonna make them fit. Might go as far as radiusing (spell?) fenders.

Gerald hoarded these. Shortly after I was convinced, I believe by Rob, that I should run them. Paid and picked them up yesterday.


Thanks Poppin

That would explain why they look familiar.

They currently have 315s on the 11s...

this thread delivers!

ehhh, hopefullly it will.

Rough idea of a goal of the look I'm going for is FMU's GoldWheels

This is my new favorite thread on the site. I cant wait to see this happen.

Smuff needs to take note for the c-dizzle on the wheel choice. American cars can rock baller shit too!

When you're ready to get those lips polished lmk.

Nice

Going to get the air ride set up done first that way getting fitment for the wheels right will actually happen at a height that it'll need to be. Unfortunately that means wheels wont get mounted for awhile but I'll take some pics of them up next to the car and stuff. Had to do some shit after work today and didn't make it home before sun down, sooo pics will come soon just gotta take them.

.

omg...i wanna see finished project now.

Not a huge fan of mark's (forever the battle of ls/mark) but this one looks sick lowered.. I never really venture into the mark section on LvC but I like the CobraStar's you have, I take it you got them from Gino?
Good luck on this project it will look awesome!

I'd love an LS as a daily.

Yea but that shit is coming off.

Thanks.

Still working on pics, lens on my phone is fucked and cant find my old p&s

Took with my phone, I have a really good app thats supposed to take good pics, ill try to get some tomorrow with that. The tires on them are old and aren't going to be run, I cant wait to get these on and actually fit them right and drive it low.

i'm super jealous, mainly because i know those will bolt right up to my sawblade adapters.

UPDATE!

If you're taking off the cobra star badges I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands...

Lol, sorry Chad, kept getting distracted and stuff.


Stinkin, consider it done.

Dude this project is mad grandpa status. I need to see this bitch fitted!

Haha, yea, Focus is occupying garage space and jackstands and what not as its being a rusty piece of shit. Once i get that pile of shit back together the work can begin.

F*&$ the focus.

Exactly, but its currently in the way lol.
