Afternoon guys. Sorry I've been busy with work, a screwed up ankle and too much other crap to list...anyways, just wanted to chime in...as I have time, will update you guys on my junk.
My Main vehicle is my 1972 Gran Torino Sport...but that's a whole separate level of pain and suffering.
Main ride is my '79 F150 4x4, 400 V8, which has been in the family for well over 22 years. I took it because I love simple, solid axle 4x4's. And my explorer was dying after 292000 miles.
Most recent deal has been I picked up a 93 XLT 4x4 with a rod knock, then a week later bought a 95 lot 4x4 with a front end collision damage.

Sold the 93 after taking needed parts, and getting ready to actually work on the 95 this weekend now that my ankle healed up.

And...to give you a feeling for my nature...


ACT NOW! DISCOUNTING NEW GM'S CHEAP!!!




Truth...I sware




And lastly...because it's the truth...


Exit, FNG, stage left with a sawzall...

Older daily driver. Exercise in stupidity and complete fun. Fix the AC, then chopped the roof. Made it a removable hard top.

eliteman, welcome aboard! I'll have to check out your pics from home tonight, can't see them here at work.

Can you give us your first name, so we know who we're talking to?

 

So, still waiting for Matias240 to show up....

 

Oh, sorry man, name is Andrew.

Need to update my sig in the profile, but not had a chance yet.
Need to work up a banner signature...but been too busy with spring type stuff. Lawn already needs chopped. dog has dissapeared in the lawn already...

 

Cool Andrew, thanks! You can add a sig as soon as you pass 25 post. And, you can enable your PM (private messaging), so you can recieve the occasional chapter wide PM I send out, full of useless babble....LOL!


Mowed for the first time last Saturday. I'm diggin' this weather!

 

Blaspheme!

 

Hey, I can't help it if you're one of them rain lovers!LOL

 

Wanna help me pull/rebuild a tranny now, Pat?

 

I would if you didn't live so far away, and I wasn't in the middle of this damn house thing! Sure, I'd help!

 

And that is what makes you a good man, Pat

 

Andrew, stopped in last night and checked out the pics, that Gran Torino is awesome, and so is that convertible -150! Whats the plan you have for the daily drivers?

 

Andrew, you MUST share the story about how that Gran Torino ended up going mudding! I have to hear that story!

 

Yes, do tell!!

 

LOL, actually...I was headed here:

Place called Watts Auto Salvage & Repair, Wymore, NE.
It rained hard the night before.
Sun was out. I had run down to Beatrice, NE to meet up with a buddy from Kansas for a bunch of Torino parts that were headed out east to a car show for Torinos and went to go to that junk year. I figured...road looked dry. Started out ok. I got about as far as the picture shows...and slide sideways into the *(@#^*&#%$*&( ditch.
Took me 1 hour...but I man handled the torino out, and backed the car up the road...nearly going off the road in a few places.
Lesson Learned: Take the '79 with the Dayton Mud tires. With the 4x4. and say F IT!! if you go into a muddy road and ditch.
