2000 Nissan Altima (parents, now my brothers)
2004 Kia Optima (parents)
2009 Kia Rio (my buddy's)

So they are nothing special anyways but I hope to add a mustang one day to the list lol!!

The mileage maker and fun toy, 1987 turbo sprint. 12lbs boost 226/395 cam, 2" exhaust, CAI, and short shifter make it real fun to drive. Drove another one (white one in background) for 5 years and over 100000km. When it died I had to find another one to hold on to this time.


The heavy hauler. 2003 Cummins laramie. Bought it needing work, still have a little left to do but parts are expensive for these things! I wouldnt want to drive anything else on the highway though, handles so nice.


The classic cruiser, 1960 ford comet. Parked for 42 years when I found it. Original down to the exhaust with exception to the mag rims.


The deal to good to pass up, 1986 bronco II. It's going to a new home soon. I cant bring myself to 4x4 it so its gotta go, bought it as a $400 'beater'.


And the weekend toy powered by vw. I was actually shopping for a 4x4 atv when this popped up. Its way more fun and cheaper, easy decision!


I just picked up an 89 f-250 last weekend and am now starting to clean it up.


They arent all insured at once but at least once a year they are each driven for a few months till I get bored and change to something else. The ladies at the insurance place know me well lol

No Stangs around here, had a foxbody once but they were too popular at the time so I sold it.

What the heck is a Turbo Sprint and who makes it?

It all came with the JLT kit when i got it.

The bronco cleaned up very nice, interior is just as good. It was for sale for months@ 500 before i picked it up, don't know why nobody wanted it. Came with a pile of new parts on it too. Being from the okanagan the roof and hood were sun beat so i had to touch them up a but the rest of the paint is good.


The chevy sprint is made by suzuki, 1.0l 3 cylinder engine and factory turbo, body kit, and heavy duty sway bar. Getting hard to find now, had to drive 800km to pick up this one but it was worth it.

When i found the comet it was buried in a garage and all you could see were the tail lights, i was sold on it before i even seen the rest of it! Took a lot of work but all that is left is body and paint now. Here is a pic after a few hours of cleaning, stuff was piled inside up to the roof and outside all around it to the roof and on top of it was a good foot of random stuff and boxes. Took me and a friend 5 hours of cleaning to get it out of the garage. There was also axles engines and parts stuffed underneath the car lol

I havent put too many km on the duratracs but i like them so far, i prefer the territory that i had on another truck but i got a killer deal on the duratracs. The ram is really nice, replacing the engine next week due to a bad injector though. Nothing is cheap for these things which is why i bought another old ford. I think the dodge will only leave the yard with a trailer behind it from now on.

sorry Scott had to correct a minor mistake lol!!!! just kidding, I have a friend who has the newer style dodge truck and I think its ok, not as durable as my ford but it does get the job done, but its a gasser and I would love a diesel to transplant into mine hehe

I had a Chevy sprint modded to 23 psi. Freakin fun little car.
Turbo went so I built stainless manifold for k03 turbo.
Car rotted away and now everything's in a 91 geo with srt4 ic and other fun stuff including megasquirt efi.

Three mustangs are on my website. I gotta add the geo and other mustangs to it soon.

Pic #1:
1969 Bronco, 302 (soon to be EFI'd '90 stang 5.0), NP-435, Dana-20, Dana-44 front, 9" rear, 3.5" susp lift, 2" body lift and a ton of other odds and ends. Never ending project but is always Daily Driver capable except for the small periods I take it down for upgrades.

Pic #2:
1971 F-250 CCSB 4x4, Rebuilt 390, C-6, NP-205, Dana-60s f/r, TOO MUCH lift! Goin' through this 'ole girl to make her into my new daily driver once we move back home to the mainland. Lowering it back down, smaller tires in Duratrac flavor on stock steelies, fresh paint/ body w/ late model interior... you get the idea.

Not pictured:
1968 International Travelette quad cab short bed, 3/4 ton. Got all the 4x4 parts for a conversion on this one donated from a '69 Travelall 3/4 ton 4x4. SV-345, T-35 5spd manual, NP-202 transfercase, Dana-44 front, Dana-60 rear. Thought I had some pics on this computer of this rig but I'll have to add some tonight from home...

Not pictured:
1968 Bronco in a thousand pieces of awesomeness!!! Building this for the Rubicon trail once we move home to Norcal. '94 full roller 5.8L (w/ GT-40 EFI, Edelbrock alums, cam, etc), NP-435, 203/205 doubler, HP Dana-44 & 9" from '77 F-150 w/ 4.88s & Detroits f/r, 5.5" susp, 2" body lifts, etc...

Too many projects, not enough time...
