thanks for the welcomes...

well... as for selling the termy...

after 3 diffs... 2 clutches.. one driver's side head... I'm done with fords for a while.

here is a video of it if you wanna see it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hEPiG_WEdU

I really go tired of paying the payments... insurance.. and mod money on it... I miss the car but don't miss the money it ate.

I paid $2500 bucks for this 240sx. gets 29 mpgs.. give me about a year and I should have a nasty ls1/t56 setup (sleeper/rice) in it.

always been a fan of the chevy's.. not really picky as long as its fast.

I've already picked up a GTO oil pan and a T56 tranny.. now I just need to save my pennies for a ls1/harness/ecu.

Roll Tide,
luke

man I live about 40 miles away from Auburn... kinda sucks being a Bama fan right now (since we have been sucking for a few years) and that I'm surrounded by all these Aubie fans at work.. gahhh

one thing I have found good about this situation.. it seems that Auburn chicks are easier!!!! yes...

I actually met Brian Hinson in college at Bama. I rode in that Rx7 of his when it was slow and only ran high 10s...

. I'm gonna get him to help me fab the crossmembers and stuff cause I can't weld for shizzt...

Yeah Hinsons RX-7 is pretty nice, as is soooo many of his cars.

BTW I though a few was like 3 maybe 4, but I think 5 might be called somethign more then a few.
