A little update on my Fairmont project. It's going slow but I did manage to get an 8.8 rearend that I've been fixing up a bit, needed new seals and bearings, and rebuilt the limited-slip, changed the gears from 2.73 to 3.27s too. Just one or two more little things to do on it and it can go into the car. A guy that works at another location of the company I work for has a 5.0 motor he will sell me cheap too.

no show for me. I guess the world of wheels is next weekend. I won't be going to that one either. Rip off. Been thinking about buying this truck for something to play with in the garage besides myself, resell. I asked the seller for interior and engine bay pics. Looks like the body and tires are in good shape.

I forgot that show was this weekend. Worked late yesterday then hoped to watch the Daytona 500 today but that didn't happen. At least I got the car out for a bit today and swept out the garage.

Here's a few photos of what I'm working with, it's pretty much a replacement for the Mustang I couldn't afford to keep any longer. I have been doing a little bit of work to it, still looks mostly the same though.

That looks really clean for its age. I take it it didn't come from IL?

I did see the Amsoil booth, I have been thinking of going over to a dealer status so i made sure to stop and look. I liked it but like said it was my first so I did not know what to really expect, was cool seeing some of the aftermaket products in person then in a mag or on the internet.

That's correct, I think the car was originally from Pennsylvania, but it was undercoated when new and owned by an older couple until a few years ago when the second owner acquired it. He had his fun with it and sold it to me. There's a rust spot in the left rear wheel arch, and a few bubbled spots on the rockers, but that's it, underside is solid.
