BUY A TACH!!!

I was going to suggest that you gut the interior, but it looks like it's in very nice shape!

This thread cracks me up.. The turbo kit was a used E bay kit, so I said F that.
I sold the car back to the person i bought it from and now it is ruined lol..

Here is my new beater. I have had it for about a year and it's in pretty good shape.
Everything is stock, except for the shocks.


Here are some cool pics of my X. (My mangers love me. I fix thier cars for them lol!)

Trusty beater got a good work out today. Stupid rain!


I painted the back half of the frame with ospho and Hammerite.









The factory core support was pretty rusted, so I replaced it with a new one, and sprayed the front chassis with
Ames Oil HD MP to coat the surface rust.

I love this truck, and got drunk one night, and started to cry over it. (My girl caught it on tape lol..) I was blacked out drunk, so I don't know the reasoning.. I have never cried for the GXP. It just bothers me, and keeps me up at night when something goes wrong.

Huh...that's pretty deep man. You should probably see a licensed psychiatrist about this. Sounds like some sort of underlying subconscious Ford love thing.
