Other Vehicles / OK. So hear me out...
Last post by Chuck W -This is more of an introduction post, vs a project thread, as this is going into storage for a bit, as I have many other things in front of me currently.
I've had the itch for another RWD daily driver. Specifically, a 2-door Fox.
On the short list of options were:
- 80-82 XR-7 or Tbird
- Fairmont Futura or Zephyr Z7
- Box top Fairmont or----this----
81-82 Granada 2Dr
The Box Birds were a little bigger than I wanted, and my wife actually preferred these to the Futuras (which were my initial front-runners).
I have a plan formulating, but after I get the title stuff done, it's going to sit in storage for a while until I have the bandwidth.
The 2-Drs are harder to find, so I jumped at it, even though I'm buried in projects currently.
Aside from the baked paint, areas, there is NO rust on the body or underneath (NC car). I6/auto with 2.73's, but that's all moot, as none of that will wind up staying in place, no matter what winds up propelling it later. It's all tired, but I just drove it the 60 miles back to our place from my buddy's (We dropped it there after the pick up a couple weeks back).
My current daily is the '97 Turbo Volvo 850 in the background. Fun car, with lots of mods/upgrades to it but I think I've run my limit again of dailying a FWD car. There's also availability issues on some parts that are starting to get on my nerves.
With this, it's all "Mustang" stuff to keep it on the road.
Anyway. Here's to doing silly car stuff!

Last post by Chuck W -Nice to be able to drive the car again even though it's too hot out.
Yeah. The TBird is currently my only runner w/o AC. I'll drive it on warmer days if I'm sure I'm not going to get stuck in traffic, but it's gonna have to sit this week.
