New project for me

Hstrymkrs
My daughter texted me this afternoon from her work. Thankfully no one was hurt, so all is mendable. But now I have another project. I have been nursing this care along for over 10 years. It has the 2.3 liter in it, and it is the four  cylinder equivalent to the 300 in my opinion. This engine has been durable. The care will fall apart before this drivetrain does.



It is mostly cosmetic from what I can tell at a cursory glance. Built FORD tough!

That's too bad, glad no one was hurt.

That should keep you busy for a bit!

Ouch!  Glad no one was hurt, but someone might be sore.  Yes, that'll keep you busy for a while.

I understand "nursing along".  That 2001 Subie in which I just replaced the radiator was purchased new by my wife.  We benched it in 2014 when it had almost 150K miles, but our daughter bought it from us.  Then, when they moved to Nicaragua it came home to stay with us so they'd have a car when they come back to visit.  Well, they've been back 7 months and it now has 168K on it.

The car was actually hit while it was parked in the lot. Had it filed as a hit and run. Not too bad as I got it back up and running for $100.



Now back to the Bronco
