wife got a new car
 

ok so about 2 years ago my wife bought a 70 chevy c10 pickup. she loved the muscle car feeling of it. well about a year ago she decided to sell it for something a little more family. we had a baby on the way and "the truck will scare the baby" "it's just not a family car" so she got a 91 civic sedan.
well after the baby she decided she wanted something cool again.
yesterday she calls me at work at tells me she found a 64 fairlane 500 for $1500 and it looks good. so last night at 10 pm we go and look at the car and it's in pretty good shape. so today we went and bought it.
its in pretty good shape for $1500. starts up first time every time and drove pretty good also. couple small things like any old car. well anyway i'm not a ford fan, but i like it. there is some glazing putty on the body cause the guy was gonna fix all the dings and get it painted, but stopped. not any major rust, just a little surface rust on the rain gutters and door edges. there is a bunch of ---- in the trunk so i'm not sure how the trunk pan is, but after looking at the rest of the car i'm sure it's not that bad.
anyway here are the pics he posted on craigslist, my wife is gonna take some tomorrow also.
the plans for it are to either have it repainted the blue or paint it flat black. put a good sounding exhaust on it and fix up the interior. after it's running good we might fix up the horsepower end of things.
we've been trying to get pre-smog cars. so now we are either gonna sell my crx or her 91 sedan.
if you read all this you are a fag
the missing door panel is in the trunk, but looks bad. good thing i know how to sew. i sew better then i weld. we've all seen my welds

---- yes...those are awesome.....

about 5 years ago a buddy had one...had to have 3 people present to start it....1 to turn the key. 1 to choke the motor....and one to rock the ---- out of the car.

Re: wife got a new car
 

That's worth $1500

Re: wife got a new car
 

the baby should be safe in that, thatll tear a new one into all the plastics cars we have nowaday :y

Re: wife got a new car
 

god i love old cars.

is that scarsam?

we figure that we can't afford a nice new car with airbags and crumple zone bs. might as well get a tank and not a 91 tuna can civic.

What? If you have no idea what a straight bodied Falcon with decent interior, that runs and drives, goes for then you are a collosal fool.

Re: wife got a new car
 

I don't think I would ever let my kid ride in something without seat belts.

Re: wife got a new car
 

i thought you were the fool. when i got there i expected to see some major rust or frame damage. i could not believe when i saw the condidtion of the car.

------- retard, what makes you think i'm gonna let my baby ride in it without seatbelts.
the car has a full set of seat belts, the rear belts are under the seat.

Re: wife got a new car
 

Needs wood paneling on the outside.

Re: wife got a new car
 

After being called a retard, I thought it best to take another look. You are of course correct, there are lap belts all around.

Lap belts can cut people in half or cause major spinal injury in an accident. And old cars don't survive crashes much better than small ass civics. But whatever, it is a very cool car. Just not something I'd transport my progeny around in.

Re: wife got a new car
 

Baby seats? lol

Sweet ride.

Re: wife got a new car
 

Flip that ship and make $$$$$$$ off it after you had your fun with it.

Re: wife got a new car
 

He could rearend a bunch of ----, pop the motor, and make a profit. Maybe not this year but within 5-10.

Re: wife got a new car
 

I believe I see the word "wife" in the title. Something seems missing.

Re: wife got a new car
 

nice find, seems like a good deal

Re: wife got a new car
 

steve pics of said wife are in other places on this forum.
dr seuss...
iirc everyone i knew growing up rode around with no seat belts or 2 to one belt. or even better sitting on the ------- floor of the front seat under the dash.

you are a ------- dumb ass. who cares about safety. do you need someone to hold your hand when you piss or are you brave enough to do that on your own.

have your balls dropped yet

this car will not be sold for profit, we are gonna keep it for a long time. well i'm sure we will end up selling it someday for a ---- load more then we paid for it.

Holy. -------. ----. :o

Re: wife got a new car
 

any updates

Re: wife got a new car
 

not a fan of those.

Re: wife got a new car
 

are you stalking me?
yeah minor updates, had to get a new gastank. put one from a 66 mustang in there cause it was $125 shipped with a sending unit, the fairlane one was $350 not shipped without a sending unit.
the trunk had a little more rust then we thought, but it's an easy fix, just a little swiss cheese. i'll try to get pics of what it looks like now and what it looks like after we finish it.
the exterior got a quick coat of rustoleum flat black, we had to cover the blue quick and didn't feel like doing a good job. looks good from far/far from good
got new tires for it and painted the stock rims red. she has started working on the interior, but i don't have any pics of that yet.

we are installing a radio in it this weekend

our long term goals is to drop a 302 in it and a nice automatic tranny with overdrive and make it a super reliable daily driver
we might go with a fuel injected 5.0 motor for added MPG.

Re: wife got a new car
 

well still don't have the radio in, but i did fix the gauges.

since we bought the car none of the gauges worked, pretty much the only thing that did work on the gauge cluster was the speedo and the generator light. sometimes the blinker lights worked, but most of the time nothing.
the lights that lite up the gauge cluster didn't work. nothing worked.

THE ------- THING WASN'T GROUNDED
Dammit, now everything works great except for one bulb that needs to be replaced.

also i fixed the turn signal cancel thing. it was in the wrong place.
steering wheel is now centered while driving straight.

that's all i got for this update.
