What did you do to your BG today? (Part 5)

[atomicEGT]

I looked at it :D

It's under 8" of snow right now.

[mx-3_4evr]

no falling snow here Just -4*

[MD323]

the girlfriend and I pulled the following from the junkyard(s)

mx3:
full escort ZX2 suspension
radiator core support
hood latch bracket
pile-o-bolts
driverside autobelt ass.

323:
shifter
rear hatch cover(w00t!)
random interior pieces
another pile-o-bolts

as you can see she made out better than i did for the MX3 but then again the mx3 needs more love. ill be putting everything on the mx3 tomorrow while shes at work and then the 323 is getting a new transmission put in and a new coil setup.

I towed it's ass to the street. Go away!

[atomicEGT]

rear hatch cover(w00t!)

Is this the cardboard / felt bit that hooks to the hatch and lifts up when you lift the hatch? I think that was the only thing I actually missed when I ripped my interior out.

yea thats the one, this one is going to receive a full make over though

it will be soaked in fiberglass resin, re upholstered, and then have a slim line PC strapped to the underside for my Carputer project. :D


not to mention keeping prying eyes outta my hatch

[atomicEGT]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaancy.

Looks my usual luck has come through again with a replacement for the GT :o

My boss just called (and woke me up) to tell me that he'd just acquired another Escort wagon. The girl that owned it was driving in the big rainstorm the other day when she drove into what she thought was a puddle. Turns out, it was a culvert. Water all over the electronics, car quit running, got it towed to my shop. When my boss went to check it out today, he discovered the tranny fluid was like a strawberry shake- a frozen one, at that. Car won't move, even though it runs great now. When he told the customer, her mother told him they would be down to get their things out of the car, and he could have it since she knew we always have Escorts around as parts cars.

It's got just over 100k and the best part- NO RUST.

Hell yes.

[therieldeal]

oh no

11 second wagon?

[kunar]

like a strawberry shake- a frozen one, at that.

mmmm.....frozen strawberry shake *drools*

[atomicEGT]

1.9 with a slushbox to keep me from modifying it :o

Although I do have that EXP manifold sitting in my garage...

[Lex]

I wish it was 4wd ... but so far I've had no issues and the snow is deep enough for the bottom to scrape on it. Woohoo snow tires. More pics from today on the way to work. That's a big street you see - the alleys are just covered

[atomicEGT]

Is that a 4wd Civic wagon I spy behind the Rogue?

[MD323]

nice shots lex! looks like fun

i dont get why people dont clean all the snow off their cars before embarking onto road where it ends up on the guy behind you.

[Lex]

Is that a 4wd Civic wagon I spy behind the Rogue?

Wagon alright - would have to check if it's 4wd
