so this has been an interesting trip working on this car its not working but theres a sense of accomplishment. the car is all back together but the electronics are not working. the first response i got from a friend was thats what you get for buying a ford. now that may be true but we were able to drive this car in its rather screwed up state but if you want the long list this car has been a curse just about from day one. when we drove it back the power steering didn't work the power breaks didn't work the power top didn't work or the starter but the motor ran good and was not making any bad noises and the transmission and rear end were working fine. well the wipers didn't work 3 of the 4 calipers were frozen( found that one out the hard way ) but it still drove ok so we went threw and repaired it all drove it for a bit with no problems then every thing went to hell in a hand basket. we were driving and it started running really rich then the motor caught fire... yea that was fun . anyhow we got it working fixed a fuel rail leak replaced a PCV valve fixed a few melted wires and hoses and and a new set of plugs and the car was running fine again but a new problem came up. Fire extinguishers have a vary sandy gritty dust in them it got in the engine after that the car was not making oil pressure and knocking bad when it warmed up so we changed the oil and had 80-90W in it ( warm it like maple syrup is cold ) and hey we had oil pressure for a bit but we knew we needed a new motor and we found one 200 with a trans off crags list. so we swapped the 2 its not easy but its not that hard so we get it all in after putting a new motor in it the doner car was a 77 thunder bird. we get it all in and some how we blew the computer so were getting a new one hope fully it runs if not were parting it out. all in all the cars junk but we have re built everything in it now all we have is and electrical problem and if we cant fix that were gonna put a carburettor on it and call it done so i hope it goes well if not well i learned a lot and would i say this is a bad car no would i say ford makes bad cars no we have Clearly found 5 other cars in this one not including what we added hell the computer it came with was out of a 1992 mustang with a automatic and it was for California emissions the body was set up for an auto the front and rear bumpers are off different cars the rear axle is out of a different car the trans is out of a 94 mustang this car is so Frankenstein together its no wonder it had problems hell its a wonder it ever worked
