Yep,that's right.I'm getting a new project car just for that reason.I can't work on my daily driver all the time,and I get bored quick,so,$350.00 invested in a new T-bird to play with.I can go out with my toolbox,turn on some good tunes,get out the wire wheel,and clean bolts,fix wires,and not be in a hurry.AND,with it being a $350.00 car,there's always something that needs attention.So,go buy a car.

I need to start putting all of my parts on the Cougar, but with the recent 20 degree weather and the Cougar being buried in the garage for winter, it becomes tough...a good cleaning can fix that. The S10 just needs fixed in general. Plus I might sell my Escape for a Silverado, so I dont know what Im doing except work, school, partying, haha.

I've got plenty to keep me busy.
Hopefully I will get the head back from the machine shop tomorrow and I'll be able to put it back on.
Then I have to put everything else back together, replace most of the cooling system parts, set the timing, etc.
On top of that, I've got to stop some of the rust that's on the car.
I should also fix whatever has been throwing a code on the '96.

My wife told me I couldn't play with my new car. I need something to do too.

I've been too busy to do anything. Although Wednesday, I got out of school at 11:30 and went home. It was in the 70's and not windy, just perfect. I got the '88 running for the first time in over 2 months, gave it a bath and parked it.

Now I get to work 48 straight hours(4 12-hour days). Well, 10 down 38 to go now.
