Here's the official thread I'll be using/updating with the progress made on the Lincoln. Here's some photos of how the car sits now after a wash and a slight detailing session:
Interior was slightly moldy from moisture leaking into the trunk. It cleaned up semi-nicely:
Some very long trim pieces:
The door handles have to be my favorite part of the interior:
The wiring for the windows is going to be a future nightmare to deal with, including trying to rebuild the switches:
The duct tape is the only place on the whole car hiding a spot that rusted through:
Rust:
Crystal clear glass:
430 cu.in. MEL V8
Wipers cleaned up very well, they look new in person:
The trunk's so big it's got its own zip code. Hence why I needed to take 2 photos lol. Also removed all of the rotted trunk paneling and scraped out all the factory sound deadening:
And that's the progress made on it today, now that we finally had an above freezing day. Hopefully within the next two weeks I'll have the carburetor rebuilt, all the fluids changed and have it drivable!
