We do BGs right in this house, so she will feel right at home lol. Got it from a 60 year old lady that was the original owner. All receipts and paperwork for repairs ect. Ive been eyeballing this car for almost a year and bugging the hell out of this poor old lady lol! 1000 bucks and some laptop repair later, its MINE!!
No rear wheel arch rust or shock tower rust. Recent new struts and mounts, swaybar links, catback exhaust is new piping and new muffer, bunch of new stuff. Decently clean interior. Shifts like a boss and drives great. 123k.
There is a leaking freeze plug behind the exhaust mani. Flexpipe needs replaced. The disty oring leaks like they all do. Engine bay needs a clean up. Pretty minor stuff. It doesnt high idle on cold start and the temp gauge seems to read low (tiny bit more than 1/4 of the gauge, where is normal on the EGT?), but heat is hot after a few miles of driving. Oh.. and that annoying Ford valve cover lol. Body has its share of small dings and whatnot, but is great for the age. Grandma treated her well, and was sad to see it go, but I assured her it was going into the right hands..lol
Plans are fix the minor stuff, upgrade a few things and keep it stock for the winter, then turbo that bitch next summer lol. VF10 on GTX management. Should be fun for a daily. The red car is about to get stupid, but thats a different thread..
Sadly, I will be getting rid of the grey Pro. It is stupid rusty, and I think Ive reached the local limit of Proteges per household..lol.. I also have a black 91 in the back yard for parts.
