    93 Miata....$500! The bad..Bent rear fender, bent hood and fenders, headlights won't go down, rear window is out and it leaks stuff. The good...runs and drives, air blows cold, clear title.

    86 Thunderbird Turbo-coupe. $500! Good car just generally tattered with a bit of rust on the inner fender near the turbo.

    93 Mercury Capri XR2 turbo. $500 Small dents and peels on the paint but generally just neglected. I must say the turbo seals are GONE and makes mucho smoke. I have another engine with a good turbo so I might make a deal for both.

    I must get to my 2 main projects and realize these cars may get worse before I can get to them.

    Open to negotiations, trades, bribes, pleading and other trade tactics that you may attempt....just ask!

    I am looking for a set of 15" 4x100 wheels for my Escort so this may be a valuable trading item.

    Damn. I'm close enough. I have a trailer, but I already have enough project cars to keep me working about ten years.

    Adding stuff!!

    1967 Mustang coupe..no engine, trans, doors, interior and many other bits. Only redeeming quality is the V8 drum suspension.....Free to a good home!!! No title either. I don't crush .

    17x8 Rota Subzeros...5x100 bolt pattern with tires that won't pass inspection. $100. I don't have anything they will fit.

    2 count em' 2 1995 Ford Aspires. First is a no title running 5 speed that was bought to get the other one back on the road. Second is converted to a truck (great metalwork, crappy windows) with a B6T turbo 1.6 from a XR2 Capri. Missing the knock box but has wiring and transmission from the Capri. Good title and some radical spring and strut combo. $600 for both!!

    Just trying to get to my 2 main projects...cleaning out the shop building and my 69 Mustang that is 27 years overdue for my attention.

    I am also looking for a good riding mower. Mine suffered radical rod removal and was only a $40 mower 4 years ago.

    Swaps are encouraged and transport might be fixable. Ask the stupid questions....the worst that can happen is I will say no, but then I just might not!!

    I would imagine most of those cars would be gone in a hurry if you posted them over on the Lemons forums.

    Wish I were closer

    Do you have the axles and intermediate shaft for the spare Crapri B6T? I have a set of NICE 93' Escort GT wheels and other EGT stuff. Trading between here and texas may be a bitch though... PM me.

    I will be getting back to my computer and able to do pictures and such tomorrow (Thursday). Been asked about shipping costs...need a zip code at least so I can figure costs!! Spare B6T is currently in the Aspire truck and has the trans with shaft still in it. So parting stuff is gonna rely on how stuff goes. Bought the Capri cause it was cheap enough...got the Aspire truck for the turbo for the Capri and then bought the other Aspire to put its engine in the truck. It was hoot with just the original engine, but my buddy got a bit ambitious with the B6T swap and it hasn't run since.

    93 EGT stuff is cool..if you are on feoa.net I may have seen your deal there too. 15" wheels and disc brake stuff are where I am heading.

    Oh My god....I want that Capri, do you have any picture of it?

    It has been noted that I am far away from everyone...too true. I just sent out a couple of pics that due to limited internet options took 1.5 hours to send. might be a bit slow responding...sorry.

    I've got both. I'll put 'em aside for you. I've also got headlights, tail-lights, power mirrors, spoiler, side-skirts, etc. if you need any of that stuff. You're not coming to the Challenge, are you?
