Hard to believe it's been 10 years since I picked this car up. Spent a lot of time turning wrenches on it. Just put the wheels and tires from my Cobra on it, now I actually have traction. Need to roll the quarters a bit, and put more rack limiters in.

Been a while since I have seen you around. Weren't you having some issues with a new engine build at one time? Everything get worked out?

Congrats on the 10 years!

Thanks! I was having what I thought was electrical issues (kinda was). Turns out, U/D pullies and a failing alternator are bad for batteries. Even with an Optima as your power source.

Had a third kid, and my oldest is still way too young to be able to ride up front with airbags. I take them daycare daily, so I'd never be able to drive it. My '89 I have now solves that problem.

It'll be ten years for the Cobra and I next February. Hard to believe that car is 23 years old. Couple more years and I'll switch the registration from OK to TX since the inspections are cheaper then.

At 25 years in Texas you can antique plate it. $50 for 5 years and no inspection.

No idea. Can't believe it's been that long. I can still remember the first time I saw that car, buying it and that first ride home and even the song I played in the cassette player during that ride (econoline crush - surefire)
