Too serious? LOL...join the club! It's not always possible to not be too serious...especially when owning, discussing and fixin' these old rolling piles of misery.

The only other choice is to buy the real Ford microfiche..cost $110.00 each series (example 1973/79~1980/89). If y'all would like to buy the 1990 and later fiche, I'll be happy to use them here. I already bought those two series I listed (I have the viewer), plus a few additional books needed.

I edited some of the above post...I have not created a gallery. I tried uploading photos a coupla times, no workee without resizing them to the size of a gnat. Ditto for an avatar. Several members have offered to help, but I haven't got around to it yet. In spite of the large number of posts, I've been here less than 6 months. This place keeps me rather busy and I am the worst procrastinator imaginable!

The cost to fix the terd...and that was EXACTLY what it was when I bought it back, despite cost +10 on parts and labor...the restoration (frame off) cost 10 + times what I paid for it new.
