Shoot me an offer. I was going to pull the axle shafts and aluminum wheels off next week, then find a trailer to scrap it.
all i need is the axles, with no motor its only worth about 150-200 in scrap

Picked up a new project today.


It had the hatch and glass. The hinges are missing pieces, and there was no latch. I picked up an Explorer latch and handle. They are the same thing, the Explorer on is just longer. Just some cutting and welding and 30 min later she is back together.



Just need to get some weather striping for the glass, hardware for the hinges, and paint it.


And if you notice that spot under the Ford emblem, I believe it had a overdrive emblem there. I have something to put there:


I think the removable glass will compliment the half door very well.

Picked up some rubber washers for the hinges, and stole a piece of weather striping from the Ex. She's all done, just have to paint it.

They wanted $350. I talked them down to $275 as long as I picked them up last night.

That was money I was planning on using for a front locker, but that will have to wait a couple weeks now.

True, but there is nothing wrong with my current tires. Hell 2 of them are only a couple months old.

You're going to need some 4.56 or 4.88 for this batch pretty soon... Once you hit 35's, there's not going back to smaller... just up!
