two new cars

well with the price of gas where it is and my truck getting about 11 mpg fuel is killing me. so i got 2 95 escorts. one is a 2 dr hatch back w/ 5spd and power moon roof. $0. put a 2.3 in a ranger for it. needs a clutch and t-belt. the other is a 95 4 dr sedan really clean and power everything auto. 90k miles. customers car brought it in to have checked out. droped a valve seat and beat up a piston. got it for $65. one hour labor check out time. but i checked it out so this might be free too. used motor $300. 35 mpg here i come.:D  oops sorry. posted in wrong forum could someone please move to user rides?

Fun cars to beat to all hell, take a hell of a beating too. I got one for free fixed it up, and beat the piss out of it, then sold it as a running driving good car. Guy still drives it the way i sold it to him. Shoulda kept it......
