[QUOTE=Toreador4x4;1389242]1996 F-150 302


OMG if i had the $$$$ i would get and hot rod that truck out

 

At the time i was working at my uncles body shop, and i quit to go to a dealership, so i wasnt making enough money to keep it and maintain it

[QUOTE=joshtank;1389259]most of that was already done....

3.55 L/S, 24lb injectors, E-Fan, GT40 upper and lower,granatelli MAF, Lightning TB, Lightning gauge cluster,Flowmaster duals, centerforce clutch, autometer gauges, bbk headers, dyno tuned...etc etc

 

old/ still have:



and my ranger:

 

1989 Plymouth Acclaim, 2.5L 4-banger. Still am not sure what color it was, as I never saw another with this color. Nicknamed "Chocolate Thunder", "The Brown Bomber", and "The Beast". That thing ate head gaskets like they were going out of style.
-Rockford Fosgate RF-9420 headunit, Polk 5.25's, MA Audio 4-channel amp for the doors, R-F Punch p3002 for the (2) R-F Punch P1 10's. Green underdash neons, CB, PA, Smokey & The Bandit CB antenna (the one that is on my Ranger now). Stock Black Steel Rims with Chrome Trim Rings (cop car style!) 35% tint on front doors, 20% on everything else.

Pre-non-hubcap days


hahaha here is a good one...god, i was so young and skinny back then (this was like 2004/2005)


Here it is during Non-Hub-cap era


It is hard to tell, but it has Nissan 2.5 emblems on the front fenders behind the wheel well. And the bashed in door was from my sister when she had it. Just never got fixed.

Check this vid...It was the second one I did, but the first was way better. I'll have to upload the better pics when I get home

Ok, you guys asked for it. Ive had 9 cars.

My Current Ranger the day i bought it -



My first car which i still have and wont get rid of -



I dont have any of these anymore, for various reasons -

2004 Ranger XLT - was totaled


1968 Galaxie Fastback - lost motivation in the project, sold it off


1967 Mercury Cougar - nicknamed it Sharky for the row of teeth that used to be the front edge of the hood. Parted it ou


1972 Lincoln Mark IV - I loved this damn car. Sold it to someone that needed transportation. Then they junked it when the trans went bad.


1969 Cougar XR7 - Sold it for a tidy profit


1970 Cougar - parted it out. This is after i hacked it up. it wasnt originally a convertible


1972 LTD Country Squire - Turned out to be a bad buy. I liked it but the engine made death sounds less than a week after i bought it.

07 ford ranger fx4 level II 4.0L v6 5spd (not yet purchased)

 

why was said truck impounded?

 

almost all of above of mine have been impounded at one time or another, the mustang was impounded for being parked on the street with expired registration, the brown one(f-150) was impounded for being on the side of the hiway with a flat tire (i was told it was a safety hazard where i parked it, on a painted island...) and the blue (f-250) was for expired plates that did not match the vehicle (switched the plates with my bro's truck when i got it[the brown one]) and never bothered to get it back as it didn't have a battery and i was trying to sell it for less than the impound fees were

the green torino, the bike and the tempest weren't ever impounded and the bronco i only had for 2 weeks (cost me 200$, and it had $500 worth of tires on it, but couldn't be registered in bc, where i lived at the time, as it was an alberta vehicle)

(yes i know i ramble, it's worse online than i am in person)
