1978-79 Lincoln Mark V Diamond Jubilee/collector's Series Map Pocket Panels on 2040-parts.com

Location:

Menasha, Wisconsin, United States
Condition:Used

This listing is for a pair of restored map pocket panels located on back of the front seats for a 1978 Diamond Jubilee Edition or 1979 Collector's Series Mark V with bucket seats.  The last picture show a seat with the typical scratches and chips in the original finish.  The second to last picture shows an original unrestored panel next to the decal used for the restoration.  These parts are shown for reference only and are not included - the two restored panels only.   

The material is a 3M vinyl that is used mainly for exterior automotive wraps.   It is designed to be UV-fade resistant, durable, and flexible; able to follow most any shape.  It has the correct matte finish, great detail, and looks terrific...just like the original.  I have a separate listing for just the decals, if you prefer to do the work yourself.    The panels are sanded to remove most of the original material, and some filler is used to smooth out imperfections before carefully applying the decal and wrapping the edges for a great looking and durable result.  Close-ups show some small imperfections remaining in the surface flatness, overall appearance is excellent.

The backing on the panels is originally stapled to the seat backs, and then the metal panel that holds the woodgrain pattern is glued to the backing.   When removing your panels, you'll be pulling out those staples with the metal plate and backing piece still attached to each other.   Use just about any sort of adhesive to easily reattached the restored panels.  3M multipurpose adhesive "Number 77" in a spray can works great.

Feel free to contact me any time with questions.  I will also consider doing the restoration work for you if you prefer.

More kits are available specifically for the Lincoln Mark V;  driver's instrument cluster cover, passenger side dash panel over the glove box, left and right seat/window switch housings, ashtray lids.  There are also similar kits available for the Continental / Town Coupe / Town Car vehicles.  Please check out my other similar listings;  I always combine parts for best shipping cost.  

Thanks!

BMW UK updates and extends 3 Series, 5 Series & 6 Series

Fri, 22 Jun 2012

BMW UK is adding new models and engines to its UK line-up, including xDrive 3 Series models, 520d Gran Turismo and a new 650i engine. BMW UK is having a comprehensive update of UK models and options right across the range, with a focus on more economical options on the 3 Series, 5 Series and 6 series models. Probably the big news for the BMW 3 Series is the arrival of the BMW ActiveHybrid 3 which gets the TwinPower 3.0 litre and a 55bhp electric motor to deliver 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds and official economy of 47.9mpg.

BMW 3 Series GT revealed

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The BMW 3 Series Grand Turismo – the third model in the BMW 3 Series range – has been revealed ahead of a public debut at the Chicago and Geneva Motor Shows. Now, BMW has revealed a little brother for the not exactly super successful 5 Series Grand Turismo, in the guise of the new BMW 3 Series GT, a slightly ungainly looking 3 Series that’s almost as big as a 5 Series and will cost around £3,000 more than the 3 Series saloon. Stretched by 110mm in the wheelbase from the 3 Series Touring – and a full 200mm longer – the 3 Series GT will, say BMW, offer the dynamics of the saloon with the practicality of the Touring.
