Wanted one for a long time, looked for years, but all I found were rusted out junkers. Bought this one literally a block from my work about 6 years ago, solid body and clean interior, it ran and drove, but the transmission was fried. I put a transmission in it, fixed all the non functional power windows, and been driving it for about 5 years now. I did swap out the motor last fall as it had very low oil pressure, have it sitting under my bench waiting for me to get motivated and tear it down, see if it would be serviceable again with some new bearings.
Yeah, they look pretty good, but I find the Sport model too small.
It is a blast in training I burnt my face shield off my helmet one time.
Looks like a re bodied escape (the small ones )
It's *** looks like it's in real nice shape.
And remind me of the old Bronco II, not a fan of those either.
That's because your too tall.
Looks like it would fit me just fine.
Starting to show rust over the rear wheel arches and just behind the doors, thinking I might attempt to fix it this year or next.
Brings back good memories Biff.
Yes has happened,not to me but lots of stories about blistered helmets ,etc still wicked fun though!
Sooner the better hate to see it rust as nice as it looks.
Yeah, I just don't see myself spending lots of $$ getting it painted, and I've never attempted painting, even my bodywork skills are kinda sketchy.
Just wait till they have advanced training. I did some and what a rush.
If you can take the tail lights out pressure wash in the inner quarter panels, let dry real good and blast some cavity wax in there.
Just my 2 cents.
I will try that.

Do you have dollies or use a floor jack to swing it?
A dangerous job Biff. Thanks for your service.
My cousin in the U.K. she's a fireman and has moved up through theranks and now teaches.
She not too tall and slender but strong as an ox. A tough cookie but very easy on the eyes
We have lots and still more to come. You can have ours 13
Rain Rain go away.. F*^k off.
Still more to come and heavy as well.
My daughter's house now has a roof leaking. Quote said 8500 no tax. Not a big house maybe 1000 Sq feet if that.
Too bad she doesn't live here as I have connections here.
Have a great day and last day of April

Morning guys looks like a well deserved sunny day.
Just drive it out, a couple easy maneuvers and done. Takes a fair amount more to get it in there, and I have tried using dollies and a floor jack but simpler just driving it.
Started right up within about 30 seconds and 25 to 30 pumps of the pedal, even though I didn't start it once since October, didn't even disconnect the battery. Fired up and just purred.
