Add one more to the Miata army. Pulled the trigger this morning. 2003 LS 5spd with 43,000 miles. I haven't stopped grinning like a moron all day. Better pics to come soon.

I never installed the APS TT kit - by the time I got around to finishing the project, people were having trouble with the components/company. I didn't want any hassle, so I decided to part out a lot of the turbo stuff I had for the car. I still have the car. It has a low comp LS2 in it waiting on another supercharger. happyscrappyheropup fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Feb 11, 2011 |

I'm on the hunt right now for a 4wd Suburban or pickup. I prefer a '72, but any '67-72 will work. My C10 doesn't do well in the snow. I got stuck in this dusting and had to ride my ATV home.

happyscrappyheropup posted:Nice truck. Details? Haha, thats fantastic! I'd be too scared to drive that nice truck in the snow, you definitely need a winter beater. I had a thread for my truck but it looks like it just went into the archives. Its a 283 and a 3 on the tree. I pulled it out of the greenhouse, fixed the brakes and got it running. Blew the engine doing burnouts, found another 283 on craigslist from a guy I used to work with that has a 327/350hp cam in it. I forget the specs but its pretty wild in a 283. Now I've just been fixing it up enough to drive next summer. As of now all it really needs is the brakes bled and the rears replaced. Here is what it sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_WYlsCZOPA The engine (I stole the air cleaner from a Caprice with a 350)  e: This is where it sat:

Also, the previous owner used a lot of non SS fasteners on the trim. They're bleeding rust now. And the exhaust is falling off - been carrying around a NIB LMC in the back for the moment it falls off.

Looks great, love the patina. I'm hoping for a less shiny 4wd. Didn't want to dive into a basket case for my first truck. I trailered this '72 home to MD from WI, fixed some leaks, put on brakes and have driven it 5000 miles in the last 10mos. Interior was near new, just about everything works.  2nd row is original, I think. I have the rear 3rd row in the garage. It works best for carrying when it's not installed.   I need to go through the brakes again, it's sketchy to stop on anything more than dry, warm pavement. Otherwise it's a driver. Starts up in below freezing weather with just a bump of the key. Interested in seeing which direction you go with yours. I'm trying to stay up with the forum again, so I'll keep an eye out for your posts.

Haha, I have the exact same TV but they told me you're not supposed to lay a plasma down flat  Super nice truck though. I would love a 'Burban or Blazer of that vintage since you don't see them all that often. For now I'm going to drive mine how it looks since the patina is so nice and its genuine. I plan to paint the name of my business on the side and fade it like it had been there as long as the truck. I have a Locke reel mower from the 50s that will go in the back whenever anyone wants a mow with that mower. Fun and free advertising. I'll probably start another thread for it in the spring when I start working on it again and get it on the road. e: fixed youre so sigtrap doesnt make fun of me. shy boy from chess club fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Feb 12, 2011 |

Got it shipped out of NJ (of all places) for the best price I could find. I could barely move the thing, I can't imagine trying to load it into a truck and hauling that thing home.

davebo posted:I don't know if you remember this but a few years ago when you posted shots of your Corvette and the ATV with the snowplow on it, I recognized my boss' house in the background. Well I was just browsing this thread at work and he happened to stop by for an appointment that turned out to have canceled, and he came in as I was looking at this thread and said "hey that's my neighbor!" I do remember, Dave. Bill and I spent some time plowing together just recently

happyscrappyheropup posted:Nice shorts. That's loving gorgeous. Glad to see you back, I remember following your turbo vette thread and being bummed when you disappeared. All these old trucks make me so jealous, in that "If I knew then what I know now" kind of way: My grandpa had a '69 GMC fleetside and Grandma had a '65 Chrysler 300. Both were bought new, so they were one owner cars. They sold the truck when I was about 13, because they only needed one car, then sold the Chrysler when they turned in their licenses. I could have bought it but my ex wife didn't get the car thing and we couldn't agree to spend the money. What's worse is that she only wanted $1500 for it. I should have done whatever possible to keep them in the family. It makes me sick to my stomach. LloydDobler fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Feb 13, 2011 |

I'm trying to catch up on some of the big threads. It's nice to see some of the same posters around here. I've got some fun car poo poo going right now, I'll post more as the weather improves and I can get more time in the garage.

The nice thing is that they're still out there, so you might not have "the one" but you can get one and make it your own. happyscrappyheropup fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Feb 13, 2011 |

Its actually not mine, its a friend of a friend's (who is like 60). I live in Springfield though and he lives a town over so I doubt it was all the way up in Boston. I'm pretty sure he stores it in the winter and drives around one of his El Caminos instead as it only has 70,XXX miles on it.

 Click here for the full 1280x853 image. Just snagged this beast tonight. 2001 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. $1800, minor cosmetic damage to the front, runs and shifts like a loving champ. Needs a new grill and bumper, but all the lights and everything else work. Gonna have to hook it up and get the check engine code read but goddrat i am in love already. Always wanted one of these, and I literally have a dream car finally

But the engine was rebuilt internally and had a new carb, heads, cam, headers and intake put on it. It was 10mpg of glory (back in '96 when gas was like $1) It was brown metal flake with orange pin stripes. It also had vintage Enkei Wheels from the 80's. Similar ones are surprisingly on ebay right now. Ohh how I miss that truck. I wish I could find a picture of it. _firehawk fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Feb 19, 2011 |
