So had to find a solution and I’m very happy with the results.
As the Lincoln logo inside was completely broken and it looks very bad.

As you can see the steering wheel had his best days 40 years ago

The result with some cycle terrorist tape;-)

And as you say i did enjoy it , for now it is waiting for me to find a new transmission.

The only option when you see rust and rot is to replace it .

A bit of rot did not scare me of , just gave me the push to decide to strip it all and make shure all the rot and rust is gone. The more pain I took of the more rust and rot came to light.

Seems like it was not the first time .
Last month I broke it again .
So I think there is a bigger problem with it and rebuild it again like that seems crazy .
I was thinking of swapping it for a C6 .
Wow the question is can I swap it with a 462 C6 transmission without any adapter plates and any other trouble ?

As the mechanic drive it on the car bridge we here a loud sound.
Immediately shut down the car .
Just to be Shure it was the car and not the bridge that made that sound we started the car.
Oil pressure gone. ( shutdown immediately again).
