A tank of what? rust? I got it dirt cheap because it has lots of underbody rust, but otherwise its pretty sound.

does that mean you have the ability to deploy the optional flintstone braking system?

not immediately, but it is still on the books. if your car is definately down for the winter, we can always mock it up on your car first.

If I didn't get the SVT I probably would have gotten a black 4 door and put a 3-4 inch lift on it and some 31" BFGs.

Anybody know where I can get a good deal on a used 110V welder since mine got stolen? i'm going to need it w/ all the underbody repair I've got to do on this thing, lol.

Oh yeah, it needs an exhaust too, but i've got a Mustang GT catback I'm going to hack up and make work, lol.

not sure about the welder. but have fun filling it up with gas. My buddy had one of those and in the winter it only got about 15 miles per gallon.

why did I have a feeling you bought a jeep, oh thats right they are the ideal winter beaters. You can find them anywhere, old ones are dirt cheap and they are wicked easy to work on.

My old shop teacher had an 85 Cherokee with a stick shift. That thing was a BEAST He had some big tires on it. It had 260K miles and ran amaizingly, the body had no rust on it either :shocked: it was his WINTER car.

He also had a 1976 Mercades 360i (I think?) and a 1984 Volvo something or another. All of his cars had well over 200K on them, they still ran extremely well too.

He chooses too, he loves to work on cars. The Mercades is his project hes working on restoring its body and he uses class time to have the students do body work on it and stuff, its actually turning out pretty nice. I mean, its not like he cant afford nicer cars, he has 4 cars. One of which is an 04' Pontact Montana. But he said he wouldnt get caught dead driving it. Its his wife's
