Instead of starting a whole new thread, just posted in here

[Semuhina]

Just got a new job and will be doing a lot of driving for it, my 350hp V8 mustang getting 15 miles to the gallon isnt gonna cut it anymore so its time to move on.

Which do you guys recommend? I am really looking more for good MPG and riding comfort then anything, I had my fun with my Mustang.

edit: Or Mazda 3 for that matter

[Kyus]

ANYWAYS

I'm happy doe for once. I got a new job/apprenticeship building hot rods. I am sick though so I go back Monday, here is the only picture I have so far. 49 Merc. Dude has two more Mercury's, one is a woody, and a Ford woody he built for his wife. two have LS1's and the main one has corvette everything. This is the one I was working on (everything, learning body, paint, cutting, fab, eeeevverything):

Sorry it was big lol.

Anyways will be saving up for FC again.
Kinda starting over cause they wont allow a court date for my ticket and FTA they f**ked me on. better than losing my lisense.

Unless I can find an FD shell for a reasonable price.

dat Merc looks very cool, did you do any fabrication work before?

[Oggy]

What's a reasonable price? Usually the only shells worth looking into sell for like $5k and are listed at $6 or $7k. Best deal I found was a silver touring model with red interior, running with manual for $7k I think? Low miles too but I passed because I didn't have time to deal replacing the seals (it had a slight water leak).

Honestly tho if you like the FC that much just forget the FD. You can find some damn nice ones for the price of a bottom of the barrel FD.

Nope! I've done engine work, mild paint&body, lots of suspension, etc. Just random drifto stuff lel.

I would really like to get an FC first, so I can drive my own car. The FD would be a project. And exactly you can buy a nice FC or something else for the price of just a shell of an FD so. The FD I'd look for is a non running one owned by some oblivious dude who doesnt know s**t who wants to get rid of it for cheap.

And I'm still up in the air about what I want. I have a few cars/trucks in mind.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif) Literally found this s**t on craigslist lol. Keep your eye out for something like this! The experience and knowledge & resume you gain from this is awesome. After this I'm looking to get a job working in a shop, building rad cars.

Got back today. Some might be able to tell how much better the smoothing/paint removal looks now. And holy f**k it takes a long time to remove s**t that hasn't been touched for 60 f**kING YEARS.
