At 65 and retired the only "daily" drive I make anymore is the 2 or 3 times I make it to "Geezer Coffee" at Panera's....
This post caught my eye as my inherited 83 convertible 302 4 speed was pushed into the garage today to have the engine/tranny removed tomorrow ( hopefully) I plan on making this car into my driver, yes I have other cars, but throughout my life nothing pissed me off more was buying a car and wearing it out driving to work and back.. The EX wife was the worst at ruining cars.....
The "explorer" motor block is at the machine shop as we speak... I am building some new wiring harnesses for it, new carpet and the many many other things that seems to go along with a project like this... .. Long term ( if this car is as fun as I remember it was back in the late 80's) a TKX and a 9" rear end will follow.. AS it is I hate it that I will probably reinstall the SROD 4 speed with the new motor.... Too much "fun" money going into it right now to spend $2800 on a new TKX also.....
My fellow Geezer buddies are looking forward to Bombing around Florida in it with me..... LOL
