Stop in for a cup of coffee

The rear axle and front brake are worth something. The dash vents are golden, The list goes on and on what can be sold....

And will likely end up scrapped if the guy won't let go of the idea that it can be rebuilt. Sad, but they can't all be saved.

Freakin Alerts are hardly working at all now.
Except for coffee thread. Here they kindof work.
Go figure.

I'm getting them from other threads...

Now if I can build up just a little more ambition I need to get a load of firewood in the stairway(about 6-7

wheelbarrow runs)before our next round of snow.​

Mission accomplished. Stairway filled

​

. Will add that to the stacks in the basement in the next couple days. That should be enough to go at least thru most of February.

No telling what form it may take. Buick GNs are crazy $ now, pretty much out of the picture. SVO Mustang maybe. Mini S maybe.

If interested in well done forced induction 4 cylinders look up the guy who built the headers for my bacaruda, Brian Slowe.
Well known in the mini-Mopar/Shelby/Turbo world.

im honestly not sure what would be able to be used besides maybe the dash and wiring harness. Maybe the remainder of the driver's seat frame and and the 727, assuming its not damaged from the crash.

I get some, but not all, and not any from the threads I started.

The later T-birds with the clutched supercharger on the v-6 was intriguing. Co-worker had one and liked it. Never got to drive it but liked the concept.

Heck I've had the computer shutoff, but its worth trying again. Do it tonight when I get back in. Might have something to do with the cell phone which apparently was logged in yesterday. That I don't understand but has to be on my end.

Morning back!

Morning front...

I have a cool *** 2015 VW Goflf TDI! Turbo Diesel. Tone of torque and good HP down low. It is tuned with a Malone stage 2 tune, but hardware is unchanged.. A blast to drive. Top speed 134MPH verified by me!!!

I smelled diesel fumes for 39 years and numerous before that, that I didn't get paid for I'm over diesel. My mother had one of the early turbo diesel VW Rabbits. The little beggar did run strong.

I go back later same words and stuff pops up. Shaking my head...thanks!!

That's what she said...

 

[krazykuda]

Octopussy?

Without the octo...

Looks like we got 4-6" of snow again. I had to push pretty hard to get the back storm door open to get to the garage and the blower. I had to open the driveway so the wife could get to work.

We got 6" of snow here also...

Turbo Coupe Thunder bird is good. Had a Merkur XR4TI. Great car...85 86 87 88 89 MERKUR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION XR4TI 92057 | eBay

Good idea Merkurs had slipped my mind. The only boosted frontdriver that intrigues is the Mini S, the Blown models, the turbo models had the turbo lag thing goin' on. I didn't feel that in the SVOs or Merkurs.

The only old car I would go into dept for is my 64 Sport fury replacement. Last year in Carlisle I brought 50grand with me to buy one if there was one there that was perfect and was 50Grand of less. Not one there and that was probably a good thing...

I'm actually trying to find one. a shell or project anyway.

@halifaxhops
Ray will looking last night, I also found my original (complete as best I can tell) Carter AVS.
I guess I ought to rebuild it and put it on the car.
Then it WILL be as stock as it can be.
Everyone said to send it to Harm Carb restoration, but they are $$

@RustyRatRod could do it...

As long as the throttle shafts aren't worn you should be good.

That's what she said...

 

[krazykuda]

Oops, I said 4-6", had to push pretty hard, blower. Damn I'm in trouble!

That's what she said...

 

[krazykuda]

I woke up earlier than I wanted this morning... To the sound of the dog throwing up in the bed next to me. All on the wifes electric blanket (she was out in the kitchen I think) Happy Monday! LOL

She's just trying to re-warm up her food....

 

[krazykuda]

It is crazy what forced induction can do for an engine....Turbo, blower, what ever...

That's what she said...

Digging out up here in Fargo, accidentally drove loader home for lunch! Thing got away from me, did several buddies drives on the way. Picture attached is our drive. Front yard is about 800 acres of corn or beans so I get a bit of drifting!

Gotta love it when the tractor follows you home

 

[krazykuda]

I gotta get ready for work and get outta here...

The roads are sloppy and I may need more time to get to work today...

Smell you all later....

 

[Tooljunkie]

Added a little steel to rear rotisserie mount, will be good now. I have a feeling the back rails need replacing. Will look closer next time its down side up.
