PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I think the Fox Bodies are built better, but I live the looks of both! Was your buddy's a V6 or a V8?

 

Also, how would you go about wiring up the fog lights in my truck?

 

Factory, so the high-beams can override the fog lights, and I won't have to worry about my truck failing inspection!

 

Stealership?

 

How much do you think all the parts will cost?

 

He had the V6 and his Fiance at the time had the Purple V8, think it was a 305 if memory serves me.

 

The wrecked one is a base model like mine, and the front bumper was either damaged or missing...

 

Nice. Was it still a piece of shit when it was new,?


I bought it with "170k km" for 3000$ when i was in highschool, 2004 i believe. I honestly replaced almost everything in that car, it was pretty bad.

 

Thanks! Also, I am more than likely not going to the Carlisle Truck Nationals this year, but that's okay...

Because I'm going to Europe!

 

Did the A/C work?

 

LOL, yeah it was!

 

I'm guessing you agree that a European vacation paid for by the First National Bank of Mom & Dad is better than a truck show, just like I do...?

 

Im pretty sure it had no AC, or maybe i just never used it cuz it didnt work, haha.

 

Haha!

 

I'm trying to convince my parents to let me drive while I'm there...

Germany is the one country I really want to drive in though...

AUTOBAHN FTW!

 

He ended up getting rid of it after 50 or 60K

 

I want to hit the Autobahn in this, with Meat Loaf playing on the stereo...

 

I was doing automotive tech apprenticeship after high school, and i brought my camaro in for some demonstrations and practice, per teachers request.

After it was all done, he said it is one of the worst cars to work on and i should get a honda civic, haha! He hated that camaro, he couldnt figure why the clutch wasnt releasing after we installed a new clutch. We bled it like 100 times too.

He ended up welding a small extension on that rod that pushed the fork and it worked! He was so glad it was out of the shop, was there for about 2 weeks.

It was a cool car though, i had lots of fun in it.

 

And you said it was a V6?

 

Yes sir. The mighty sport coupe berlinetta 2.8L.
