Title: here's mine again owned 22 yrs & counting
Post by: 66dreama on March 24, 2010, 10:33:35 pm: How about a post that shows what we bought to what we now got
bang up some pics of your ride when you started and when you finished ( or almost ) if we put em all in one spot it might make it easy for guys doing a build to get some ideas
Ive got heaps from this forum and friends so put up some shots from woe to go
cheers Paul

Title: here's mine again owned 22 yrs & counting
Post by: mikeross on June 14, 2010, 08:55:56 pm: Yeah me too. It just gathers dust in the garage. After seeing these pics, I am really tempted to restore my dad's 66 GT. But the oxygen sensor (http://www.car-stuff.com/oxygensensor.htm) needs to be replaced. Having a hard time finding that part though.

Post by: JimNiki on June 15, 2010, 08:41:05 pm: Don't you love it when someone says "What'd pay for that!"...
and you tell them and they say "man, that's an unbelievable price"

but they don't aks how much you've sunk into it after "buying" it.
Buy the time we're finished, it's not unusual to cost multiples of the original buy price.
