Nice collection!

Yeah, most of the neighbors think I am crazy. There is a guy with a 70 something camero that lives next door. Its a v-6 and he swears that it will kill any of mine, even after I finish the H.O. swap. Gotta love chevy guys.

Anyways, having a collection as you people(yeah I called ya'll you people. Bite me) call it, mean alot of work. I have since gotten a new passenger door for the black cat as well as a new ignition, wires and dizzy. It runs now.Still runs like , but if I have to drive it I can.

Fixed the e-brake on the silverish one and patched up some of the rust spots, and broke the window and door handle.

The 87 car(bluish one) I was replacing the water pump, and I messed up, missed a bolt, and decided that brute force was the way to get the pump off. A couple of hours at the junk yard later, I have a "new" timing chain cover, and about 200 bolts(not literly) laying around with misc, car parts on my driveway.

Now I need to finish getting the timing chain cover off, get new gaskets/seals for everything, and put it all back together.I have since quit my job, well kinda quit long story, and you never realize how much money you put into three cars till you have none. So the 87 car is on hold until I get another job/money coming my way.

Oh yeah, its easy to pick up cougars in my area. I may not fix/drive all of them everyday, but I am doing my part to make sure that people know alittle about them. When I find enough people in my area, I will start my own cougar enthusiasts chapter. Maybe just a ford one, I dont know.

a couple of updates: I just got two interveiws, and I may even start a third job pending, I will know on Monday. Also, about 3 people that I loaned money forever ago just paid me back. So I will be working on getting the 87 car back together and road worthy. All I really need are the gaskets and some time.

The "#2" 86 car has had a tuneup done and both door handles replaced. Window is in limbo for now. I dont really need it being that its like 50 outside right now.

I am also having my carputer finally sent in for repair. I just have to have it boxed and shipped off to who knows where.

I have all parts for the ho conversion exept the HO camshaft, and fuel injectors. Looking at a 8.8 rear disc out of a turbo coupe. Shooting for 3.55's but I will take what I can get. Also, I will be putting in a tubular k memeber in the car that is getting the ho conversion, aswell as duels. Maybe even a brake upgrade and chassi stiffening. I cant wait for money to start pouring back in so I can get some work done before it starts snowing here again.

Black car
You cant even tell the windsheild has a big chunk missing and the grill is not fitted on, and it has some red rattle can on it.

both newer doors, the one on the passenger side was just to get me through the winter, the whole latching part got screwed up when someone tried to slam it shut while I had the door hanging on one hinge, while I was changing out the other. the drivers side I hit a fire hydrant in a bad rain storm coming around a blind curve. Hit the curb,hydrant rather then a fender bender. Both doors are off of 84 tc's of diffrent colors.

The tail light is all messed up, it washiznit and smashed in. Mostly cosmetical, but it will suck to fix. happend before I got the car.

this is going to be a new fender, prolly off of a tc, just to say I did. Also damage done before I got the car.

Some rust I sanded/grinded off and rattle canned to hold it through the winter. This car looks pretty rust free, but it isnt. I still have to finish the rails, the fender lips(1 down 3 to go) and alot on the suspension. I will prolly leave the suspension how it is till spring.

the famous my car was stolen signal. I also had to put a new colum/door locks in. Still waiting for a clean solid trunk lid.

and last, what I need to finish up on the v-6car.

anyone ever been able to stand under their hood before? I raised the front end 2 inches.

I actually did get hit by snow,about 4 hours after these pics, so I am prolly done for the winter, maybe even with the v-6 car. I actually found out that my freinds mom, who is in realestate, sold a house to the guy that owns the junkyard close to my house. He says I can have first pic of any car that I specify! I have lots of parts on my list, such as the tc rear, and mustang parts, and as soon as they come in they are mine with a discount!

I did get a job, however it is a graveyard shift, which sucks, but money is money.
I am saving up about $1000 or more for engine stuff this spring.
