headlights are CLEAR too!!

/puts flame-retardant suit on

If the Lincoln is in good shape, I'd stick with it.. I've never trusted the 2.3, and those specialty TC parts are pricy/hard to find.

That being said, I like the LOOK of the TC way more. Just not all of the things that make it up.

I really doubt id get rid of the lincoln as I have fallen in love with the car, but its not practical to drive it right now. Im looking for something decent on gas, that I can drive back and forth to work so I can finish the lincoln, then start on my stang. Depends how much the guy wants for the car.
I love the 5.0 in the lincoln but as far as gas mileage the bird will kill it. Plus i can finish the linc, then park the bird and work it over. All ideas in my head....
