How many times does something with your ride mess up?! How many times you fix something, only to have another problem?! Even, just a simple bolt can cause the most frustrations...
I guess were all apart of the month club now!!
This is no fun at all!! first, head gaskets, then, still, coolant leaks and oil spills! Then to top it off, gas tank straps let go. The biggest problem; no where to bolt those straps! Rusted right through!!
Rant Rant Rant and vent Vent vent... let me hear yours so maybe im not the only one with a lemon car it seems?
Two, potentially dumb, questions. What is a "sag butt" and are you suggesting that the highness of the front may have saved the coil springs on the front? Because the coil springs in fact are in good shape.
Are u guys saying i have a saggbutt?? Lol, cougarxls bought me 2 new rear shocks earlier so it doesnt look that bad but i still like how she sits;)
Nice car. I really like it, but then again I suppose I should. It's like Deja Vu all over again. Here's my 88 when I bought it - yours looks almost identical, right down to the whitewalls!
LOL, i do have a weird facination with your car too!! :evilgrin:how long ago did u buy it? i got mine Aug 2007 and it did have a paint job done not too long before that...i like those white wallz :hick:
That's a nice looking car.What are the plans for it in the future?
Hopefully, i want to keep it as original as possible but you know that doesnt always work out. i do have a craving to add a few things, such as a rear spoiler, hood scoop...but away with dreaming cuz i gotta fix under the hood first. Like i always say, dreams never die...just the dreamer :rollin: lol
If your car is an 88 v6 and want v6 heads, let me know, I have the ones off my v6 engine.
Thank you for your input... I've got the 88 bird V6 :hick: Just curious as to if you are willing to sell, do they need to be machined, where are you shipping wise...? What about a cost?
Hey Mercury man! What can you tell me thats new and exciting? fill me in on what i missed!
Thanks for your input vinnie! Funny you should say that too, i wanted to do most of everyhting by myself, but realistically speaking, i need time, money and knowledge and i dont have much of any. Guess i do need a mechanically inclined friend...
Hey I'm back! You have every right to yell and scream at me for disappearing for so long. My appologies, been really busy and my car has been getting me through. Poor thing, the more i drive it the worse its getting but unfortunately she's my work horse for the time being. Now that summer is comming i will be fixing her up. she still has a problem with the heads, its leaking really bad but its not mixing with the oil yet... I left a question about it in engine tech if anyone can help. So now i will be back up and running, and i wont be disappearing again or i give you permission to
Just wondering if it is possible to put 4.0L head on my 3.8 or does anyone have a set of 3.8 heads? Would it be simpler if i were to drop a 302 instead?? what are your thoughts...
