Beef.

 

Yeah, I like that taste.
My favourites are with a bit of spicy touch and chicken.

 

Thank you. It has the regular 5.0 with the throttle body fuel injection.

 

Aaah right, AOD as well ? actually i dont think those came with any other transmission

 

yes it has the AOD. the 79-81 came with a 3 speed transmission I think

 

Aah i see, well i hope you look after the car and get the rust fixed at some point. For an every day car that one hell of a stylish way to travel

 

don't worry I am going to take care of it. I plan on taking it to a body shop to have it looked at when I get it running.

 

Oh its not running ? So if you dont mind me asking what is the story with the car

 

Didn't realize it until now.

 

The grandfather of the person selling the car died about 7 years ago and they parked the car. thankfully the car sat in a garage and was in a garage all its life. if I did not get the car it would have been in a derby they said a bunch of derby guys wanted the car. I do not know anything about the grandfather.

 

Oh, well good thing you rescued that car! it'd be sad to see such a good condition (barring the small bits of rust) old Ford wrecked for that reason. By the way i reckon you should go the carburettor way and dump the throttle body injection, i've read those could get a bit nasty when they start getting old, plus with a carb you tune it freely any way you like (and dump a quart of kerosene in it when its not running right ) but hey your car

 

i plan on going to a carb. you cant to any mods to the throttle body.

 

i’m starting the hunt for my first car
looking at either a 1980’s european midsize sedan, or a 1990’s-2000’s compact 2 door
i want something easy to work on, modifiable, and preferably with a manual
performance and mpg isn’t really an issue
i’m a bit younger than driving age so it’d serve as a project, something to get running so i can drive it later

 

Driving is 18 in your country?

 

no, 16
in the usa

 

?

 

16 years old driving age is not a federal thing. Different states have different ages IIRC.

 

Slugfest isn't talking about that, have another look at the two quotes

 

i made noodles and they boiled over : (

 

How on earth did you do that ?
