e3sean · November 20th, 2007, 02:03 AM

Drick · November 20th, 2007, 02:07 AM

e3sean · November 20th, 2007, 02:13 AM

Thank you i traded my slot machine my wifes engagement ring(old one i had to buy her a wedding sed to get a stang) and $900 for the stang off craigslist.. it ran when i got it but it was a death trap only one motor mount was bolted on only 3 bolts on the bellhousing most the bolts on the engine were loose and there was very little water/coolant in the system.

Drick · November 20th, 2007, 02:16 AM

Nice you got that car for 900 bucks nice deal. Was it originaly a 2.3 car or something

e3sean · November 20th, 2007, 02:19 AM

Drick · November 20th, 2007, 02:23 AM

Oh ok lol. I get it now

TT86 · November 20th, 2007, 04:29 AM

I like the Solo-Cup fastener organizers. I wish I would have thought of something as simple as that 10 years ago, I would have gained an extra month(at least) of free time! ! ! The trunk of your car though..... not so much

TT86 · November 20th, 2007, 04:32 AM

Also, the last time I had my car sideways in a garage like yours..... I blocked the front tires, and dropped the clutch in first gear to swing the back end around! ! ! !... if only my land lord would have seen that! ! ! I wouldn't sacrafice that beautiful floor though! ! !

e3sean · November 20th, 2007, 04:32 AM

ya i switched to baggies too

well most of the stuff in the trunk is getting trashed i just have nowhere for it.. its the big stuff fanshroud,intake,smog pump ac exc all the extra parts

TT86 · November 20th, 2007, 04:33 AM

Also, I kinda dig the color-matched block and heads, are you gonna keep the same theme???

e3sean · November 20th, 2007, 04:33 AM

lol its not sideways i moved the cabenits so that i could fit the cherry picker

e3sean · November 20th, 2007, 04:35 AM

no i am gonna try to find a special paint that a machine shop back home had its like a silver colour looks like a bran new block colour but is extremely heat resistant .the guy that had it before me took the engine apart and painted it that colour i don't like red for the block in a ford.

e3sean · November 20th, 2007, 04:38 AM

ya i didnt clean the inside at all it was like that when i opened it.. i was happy i didnt have to scrape sludge out of it

TT86 · November 20th, 2007, 04:39 AM
