Cheapass....I like the Pinto though...It'd be a sweet ride...

 

those diesel tempos are great cars. i would love to have one.
just watch the mileage and the timing belt. they are interference engines. if you run the mileage too high without changing the timing belt and it breaks, you will destroy the engine.

 

That is KAWC!!! Kicks @ss Without Cash!

 

where do you live in indiana im in the south near ky border

 

Cheap-***, Lazy-***, Half-assed. Sounds like my wife, I'm such an ***. lol. Already replaced the belts on the Tempo with NAPA replacements, good ones that should last. I live in Muncie, IN.
VT247

 

if i remember correctly, the timing belt replacement schedule for the Mazda 2 liter 4 cylinder is every 50,000 miles

 

im near the indiana border lol in louisville Jefferson county...

 

Truck still looks great, Nothing wrong with being an ***!!! I tell my g/f I try to be an *** everyday. She just looks at me and smiles. My bark is way worse then my bite 99% of the time. LOL

 

i myself would have done the patch panels different , but im not saying my way on the cheap would be anybetter, the paint looks great yet, ultimately as long as you like it who cares what everyone else thinks. i just did cheap rust repair on my 95 and duplicolor paint, i will have $100 into it when im done this week. again great job on doin your truck on the cheap

 

i know this is an old thread but i was wondering if you could wax or polish the rustoleum paint

 

yes i have waxed my rustoleum paintjob and surprisingly it shines pretty good! my paintjob is over a year old and still looks good! a few chips here and there but heck its a truck

 

wow. I've been looking into these $50 paint jobs and I'm digging the results. I have a '90 F250 4x4 and as usual the factory paint is in bad shape. this would make it look so much better.

 

Interesting read here ...... something to consider!

 

How much prep work do you do. Ive got a 73 that still has some paint but most of its gone. Do you sand everything off down to metal or what?

 

Just sand till everything is an even surface
