I've been meaning to join up on this site for quite awhile now and i'm sure glad I did

I was looking for something local and low and behold FTE has an Ontario chapter.

Now it don't get any better then that

Sooooooo...... I'm from the durham region and if anyone has any tips on getting parts or anybody knows of any good shops in the neighborhood (Oshawa) I'd sure be grateful for any leads.

Wishin' a great evening on everyone

 

Welcome to FTE Rich! It is great to have you on the site. There is a lot of great info that you will find helpful. If you need ANYTHING do not hesitate to email or PM me. Just click my username.

YOUR Ontario Chapter Leader,

-Matt

 

Welcome to the chapter.
There are a few of us in the Durham area and some a little further east. I see you have an older truck which is what I prefer. When you need something, post on the want ads thread at the top, advise is free everywhere here at FTE and it comes with a health dose of opinion too!
I do all my own work so I don't know many shops. Master Mechanic in Ajax is where I go when I need a certification and he's been good to me. Besides he owns a '70 302 Boss Mustang so he understands us old car/truck nuts better than most mechanics!

and WELCOME to FTE and to the Ontario Chapter!!!!

Thanks guys

Beast12, that's one clean '85 and I never even seen a '98 Nascar, pretty mean looking.

Thankyou FP_5, I will check your mastermechanic guy out as i Need a couple of things done. I too like to do my own work, just don't have the luxury of time.

Btw, nice truck, I love that generation, one day I'm going to get me one of those

 

Ya, it WAS a nice truck. Too bad I sold it. I still miss it.

I live in Courtice so not too far down the road from you.

How do you like being a Ford nut in a GM town (not so much any more).

As Matt said feel free to ask questions.
