Working on interior on the stang at this point. got the cage mostly painted with first coat of primer last night, gonna try and get second coat on later this week, and start prepping the floor for primer/sealer. once that's done, headliner going back in, roll bar padding, carpet, and seats. It's gonna look like a car again!

not me...I haven't been too motivated to do car work for the past year...
The Talon is sitting in the garage needing a compression test to see if vavles are stuck open and bent. Right next to it is the RX7 project with an empty engine bay waiting for the 302 on the engine stand to be dropped in. Harley is sitting in similar condition. The $200-250 stater and rotor need to be purchased and installed. Work is getting busy and the local companies are starting to make purchases again. So that's taking most of my time along with Christmas prep. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Works picking up, probably won't touch the car for a while. To frickin cold to work in the driveway. Can't do anything I want with my car parked in the garage.
 Planning a few things: -new clutch...no choice, it's shot -new chip to ignore knock while on the stutter weight loss -delete cruise control -delete automatic seat belts, replace with normal standard belts -delete rear wiper -side dump exhaust Sounds like Kicks needs to host an engine install party! -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Been working 2 jobs. Haven't had a complete day off between the two since Nov 30.
Massively busy working overtime on a few projects at work. Typical pining for a project car and looking at my empty wallet and eyeball level debt. -------------------- -The original (member) 007. Stop looking at me Spy!!

Just finished the 92 gst today!!!! I traded it off for a 91 talon awd. I think the talon has a blown head gasket. So i got one done and i get another to take its place!! I might be an idiot for trading a running car for a non runing car but its in great shape and its awd. Untouched engine and only 114,000 miles on it.

That sounds like a real good trade to me. Remember to double check the head when changing gasket to make sure it's not warped, as I didn't do when I first changed one...
 Good luck on the new project! Got the noiseproofing on the roof of the mustang last night, and headliner back in, plus some roll bar padding installed. Starting to look like a car on the inside again! -------------------- 1978 Mustang II King Cobra
