That's, uh.... "WILD, BILL!" I certainly would've done the extra painting, but to each their own. It's your car - you can do what you want with it. Looks like it has great potential. Good luck, Rick
haha yes it does have great potential.. i'm going to eventually Redo the entire car with the same stripes, but black paint, i want the front and rear spoilers...... does the engine look like its sitting in there correctly? .... i forgot to mention i painted the grille and headlight bezels and shizzle.... yeah it is pratically rust free.... how being a washington car boggles my mind sometimes... the only dent or anything noticable bad that i have found.... is the hood... where the arm is supposed to hold it up.. its all messed up... you might be able to notice it in the picture with the hood down.... or even of the one with the engine compartment.... Far From Done Yet So Dang Cool!!!!!!! i'll put the original pictures on here later tonight..... not that the car looks much different... just the stripes and the cregars.. dont have any pre engine pics... but it was just a stock 250....
Looking good....Good choice on the Crager S/S mags. How about making it to our Mini Meet in June (All Ford Picnic)? :bananaman :bananaman
Sure i'd love to! just as long as you can help me get mine running. lmao. if you know anyone in the vancouver, wa. area that could possibly help me i'd appreciate it.
What happened when it quit running? Give me some kind of clue as to what we are talking for fixing it. Besides a rebuild on the motor. LOL
ok story from start.... .i bought this car.... for 100$.... bone stock... stock rims stock hubcaps stock inline 6 (250c.i.) and drove it around for a while... some unlucky things happened and i lost my liscence for a year..... during that year when i couldnt drive... i traded my nova that was going nowhere for the 302 that's in the car right now, i have absolutly no clue if the motor runs cept the word of the guy i got it from who help me put it in, but once fundage for parts was needed (which i did not have, or know i needed....) but once i got the parts he was too busy fixing up the nova i traded him for the engine... and since then i finally got all the parts i need... cept the headers... the dont completely fit... anyways back to the story.. we got the engine in, bolted up....i had my friend who's an "ase certified mechanic" (RIIIIGHT) help me... after removing a small chunk of the transmission crossmember and a few small holes in the shock tower walls( for the headers) we had to take out the steering box, the master and booster for the brakes.... and well... that's where its sitting at, the guy that helped me take it all apart said he's going to help me put it back together, once i figure out what i need to do to get it on the road... the engine was said to be pulled from a running 82mustang 5.0.... at least that's what the intake manifold says its from....... i wish there was someone close enough to where i live to look at it and tell me if its hopeless or not..... not that its ever completely hopeless.... just in the current financial situation i'm in.... aka i have no job.... i have some income... but only like 20$ every week or so...... so yeah.... LoL you are probably all shaking your heads right now i know... but just bear with me, i'm a young idiot compared to most of you i'd bet.... well at least the idiot part....
i can take just about any picture you'd like to see of the car.... its sitting in my drive way and the camera is always here..... so if you can explain in enouhg detail what you want the picture to be of, when its sunny i can see if the camera will take a detailed enouhg picture
why would i shake my head. at my age i'd love to be a young idiot again. we were all there once. good luck with your project. p.s. many would call me an old idiot now.
haha okay.... yes hopefully very good luck.. like.. i've got 18 days to get it running.... for my 22nd birthday......... eeeeegad i hope i find a job soon.
