Bea update: got the tint done yesterday, deleted the window trim chrome today, and installed my back up camera/license plate light so I don't have to cut anything up to add the camera. Looks factory and the chrome delete goes miles.- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

2010 Head unit Sony and Nav upgrade options
I have a sync 3 set up programmed to my taurus so it should work in any of them ill let go. all but brackets and ACM but stock acm will work anyway. As for the android units, theyre all pretty much the same. Ive had 4-5 all the same interface, not for the taurus of course but the general set up...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

2010 Head unit Sony and Nav upgrade options
Sync 2/3 upgrade is out of the question for you unless you plan to swap in a lot of other stuff from the 13+ cars. my understanding is the IC communicates directly with the infotainment system. sync 1/2 are microsoft built but not compatible with each other, sync 3-4 is blackberry (I think, I...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

SM105K's SHO BIBLE/BUILDS/LIFE
Guy I boughtt my lincoln from runs a non profit out of the keys, he said its 20% tourist trap and 80% slum. kinda depressing since my grandparents spoke highly of it 30 years ago and being in florida for the last 15 years Ive wanted to visit but now im not sure. Thanks, i think it looks like an...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

SM105K's SHO BIBLE/BUILDS/LIFE
I navigated by road signs on the way up to TN, easiest trip ever. As soon as I resorted to the GPS to get home, confusing and full of horrible roads.- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

I like to give it a week or 2 to get the personality down, I don't follow much of a theme, the most I'll do is look up popular names from the era for inspiration. So far all of them have been pretty spot on. The SHO was Tori (not that creative but sounds like an insufferable *****) Fusion is...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

Little update on the Lincoln: First, a name change, Olivia wasn't really sticking and the wife spat out Bea Arthur as a joke I can only imagine. But I liked it, I tried to talk myself out of it because of it being too close to "Betty" another recently named famous truck here, but I couldn't get...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

SM105K's SHO BIBLE/BUILDS/LIFE
I commend your efforts as a father to be part of your daughter experiencing the nation. That's incredibly rare both as an accomplishment and as an aspiration. I hope you and yours get to see every state and what beauty isn't destroyed in this country by your deadline. Mine are 13, 12, and 8...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

It was on my list along with pikes, kind of weird to cross one off in 20 minutes but we ran 129 the entire way up from FL so it was a total experience lol. Pikes was supposed to be after I had my fox body finished but who knows, about to part it out and scrap the shell. I feel like anything...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

SM105K's SHO BIBLE/BUILDS/LIFE
At what point is the ease and convenience of having an in bed camper too much. That would make me more nervous than pulling a 40' 5th wheel on single rear wheel set up. I personally like how the hotshot guys do it, convert the back seat into a bed. Beyond that a camping stove and a roll of...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

Ran up the tail of the dragon for the wife and I's anniversary, decided against taking the Lincoln but somewhat regretting selling SHO, the Fusion did great but I could only imagine how the SHO would've torn through the curves Now I've got all these ideas of what to bring next time.

Olivia Update: I ordered most of the suspension for the hefty bill of what one SHO strut costs (about $160), now it might not be OEM or even a brand I can pronounce but the reviews didnt suck and replacing struts was not on my radar when I bought a turn key car. but the bounce is a little more...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

I dropped the idea last night in conversation with the wife, she didnt shoot it down so thats practically a yes lol. the 5.0 swap WILL happen, a 5.4 2v is too much work for not a lot of gain, I dont hate myself enough to put a 3v in there on purpose, and a 6.2 would be a tight fit. 7.3 being the...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

Ive got a tuner buddy working up a tune for it. I figure maybe if shes not showing signs of death by 200k (which it probably wont) maybe I'll do something drastic to greatly reduce its reliability so that when a piston exists the chat I can justify the 5.0. Who knows what'll happen, but sure, Id...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

Nope, it has me drooling so definitely a man eater. That's an L too, extended wheel base. Honestly even if it was a cursed color, you can rebuild an entire panther for the cost of a PTU in a SHO, or if you're creative enough, a diverse dumpster and a death wheel. These will be the end of the...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

I had the fleeting thought of keeping the SHO as a project and just driving the Lincoln as my worry free daily, if I was in a better financial position I probably would. Can't go wrong with a dead reliable panther. I sold my vic with 240k on it and it went through 2 kids actively trying to ****...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist

Yessir and a taurus platform of all things, weird choice for the 4 cam for a sedan but the continental is a rocketship for sure. I just wish they wised up and stuffed the dohc or at least a 5.4 or something stronger in the town car. Sticker on these things was around SHO prices so I feel a bump...- Junkyard_Mad-Scientist
