We haven't installed it yet, but we found a solution for our busted-up Lincoln nose. Check out the latest update-

I don't care if it fits, I just like the groovy blurple color.
We've also done some transmission work on the car, so we should have another few updates next week.
Saw the update via the GRM RSS feed. Sounds awesome!
But can you guys put "ballin'" on the GRM style guide exclusion list of unwelcome adjectives?
Can't wait to see how the Lincoln looks like with a Mustang nose.
Does that make it a "LUSTang" or a "Mincoln"? Cool either way.
I used to have a picture of a MK VII with a fox thunderbird front clip on it. Looked like it bolted right up.

I like it. $40 for a front clip is dirt cheap, too. Why the hell not mount it up???
I don't think that alt will fit if it's got the lincoln accessories. The Mark 7 used a large case 100 amp externally regulated alternator. You can, however use the large case 3g alternator on them.
Redoing the wiring for an internal regulator is no big deal. As for mounting, we have no idea where our accessories (or engine) come from, but it's already adapted to a manual tensioner with some crazy MacGyver engineering. I think we can make it work at least as well as it was before. Either way, we'll keep you posted.
