That is ridiculous. It's crooked and stupid.

yessir.

I just couldnt turn down the head gasket job. Too much easy money. She had a quote from a dealership for 2k, an independent shop quoted her 1500 so i said i would do it for an even grand (parts included) So i spent 180 on parts and pocketed the rest

My 2 week trip to Canada is coming quick. Going to love the time off of work, but will miss the 2 boys and my wife. Wish I can take them with me.

I have done 2 of them. Both sucked. The timing belt is by far the worst part of that job.

I actually dragged these 2 cars home yesterday, I have 5 of these escorts now lol. Didn't pay no 500 each, heck didn't even pay 500 for both of them.

Black one doesn't need a clutch it needs either a master or slave cylinder. Which I can and will pull off another one that has been demoted to a parts car. Will get about ~$1000 for it pretty easy. The green does need a clutch which is perfect because I want to boost it. I already have a brand new centerforce stage 2+ clutch for it sitting at home here.

Timing belt was surprisingly easy, but then again I work on 4v 4cam OHC engines at work....

For me the worst part was pulling the crank pulley off.
