That's it, I QUIT!

The rundown for the summer:

87 Sport: Intermittent starting problem I haven't looked in to, bad rear end (with 240,000 + miles who can bitch) currently taking a nap on the grass, my guess is easy fix, runs great when it starts

88 Turbo Coupe: where to start... blown intercooler, blown headgasket, second blown intercooler, cooling issues, fuel issues, and now... blown turbo

79 Ranchero: Runs great but got it's nose re-arranged by a ranger, just need a couple pieces and an oil leak fixed

84 SVO: In pieces in the garage, time to get it together and running

YSR 50: Not meant to be driven all over toledo for 9 hours at 50 mph... braking issues and blown motor but it was fun

05 Ninja: Still trying to get the title transferred but in good running shape

So this is why people don't keep fleets of 80's vehicles without rebuilding them first... And no, it's not because they're fords, it's because I enjoy beating the shiznit out of my vehicles, why own em if you don't drive em hard?

That's it, I QUIT!

If you happen to see a decent passenger side fender, turn signal lense and bumper brackets let me know. It'd be from 77-79. T-Birds, Torinos and LTDs should be the same as well.

Turns out the turbo on the turbo coupe is ok, some things on it came loose somehow and without really going through it I thought it was dead. Unfortunately though there is still something burning a good chunk of oil and I don't like that...
