    This is my current ride
    [​IMG][​IMG]

    so you get the idea that i am a gearhead this is a 12.20 car and handles unbelievable for a buggy but enough about this

    i have owned several fairmonts in my time and of course have had a few i should have never gotten rid of 1979 302 4spd blk on blk futura coupe (could kick myself)

    i have always loved the smaller fords so basically i am here to get ideas and find a project car my taste lean very heavily towards the lowered big wheel pro touring look

    have been doing a fair bit of research the last little while, and there is plenty of good suspension tech out there for the mav/com platform

    regards 2088bob

    Wow -27C!! Is that like -100 or something Fahrenheit :cry:

    That might make me stop complaining about our 20 degree temps in Northeast Pennsylvania. I suppose we're lucky in other ways too. Our cars way down here in the "south" are April to October cars. :biglaugh:

    I can appreciate the workmanship that goes into wiring like that. I used to wire bucket trucks and digger derricks for Altec Industries. (y)
