I looked at this one as well. It doesn't look as good as the first though.

I remember you op. What kind of condition is the car in now? When was the last time it drove?

>>17188333
Ditch the rims.
My tablet is slow and not loading your links.
You need standard and metric wrenches and sockets, couple extensions, good ratchet and a breaker bar.And a 12 point 12mm shallow socket (if the set is 6 point).
There's very few sizes used over the entire car, so don't stress.
I'm sure the links have Allen's and crap you'll rarely, if ever, use.
Depending on what you really get into, on occasion you'll need "tamper resistant torx" bits or standard ford (seatbelt is size 50 torx, tfi module on distributor is either a tiny tamper resistant torx or like a 5.5 mm that you'll need a thin wall socket to get to, total pita).

Get a nice all-aluminum radiator. Not some garbage ford racing pos- you can get at least a fluidyne for $250 if you shop around.
Stay away from "upgrades" for awhile, they'll just cause issues.
Shit like injector/maf combos that are "tuned" for the stock ECU DO NOT function correctly.
Look into a moate's quarter horse or a twEECer RT (don't waste money on a stock twEECer that doesn't do data logging). These are piggy-back computers that override the stock ecu and you can program with a laptop to correctly tune for mods without having someone burn a chip that has to be replaced next time you change some minor component.

>>17182679
How much time ya got bud? Where do I start.

-Young Females: almost every time I've seen someone glancing down at their lap constantly it's been a 16-21 year old girl.
-Chinese: indecisive and inattentive
-New Driver / Learner's Permit: unpredictable
-Elderly: refusal to properly shoulder check due to perceived notion of it causing a neck sprain

Probably forgetting the rest, but the good people of this f/o/rum will assist.

It still has the cats in, I have been thinking of taking them out for a while now. That sounds really good kinda reminds me of the bmw m60b40 but a little bit throatier

>>17158853
Sounds pretty good, im guessing just a muffler?

Surprisingly doable, round 1000€ shipping according to the internet.

KBB is like a stop signs and no left turn on red arrows. They're more like a guideline rather than a rule.

>>17192292
So should I aim for haggling them down $5,000 or something

From 31k, btw

>>17192348
No, it doesn't sound like KBB knows the fair market price. If everyone in your market is a minimum of $7,000 higher than what KBB is saying, what makes you think you'll be able to haggle $5,000 off the price? Sounds like the market is about $7,000 higher than what you think it is, or are wishing it was.

More fun than most modern sportscars.
And millennials like old antiquated products.

>can't buy 90% of the cars that you otherwise could in a free country
>/o/ approved

Yeah it's cool and exotic but it would suck to be an auto enthusiast in Cuba

>>17191882
Im pretty sure cubans can only own a car if they use it as a taxi.
They have to keep those ancient shitboxes running because thats the only thing they are allowed to have.
Those cars have been handed down through generations of taxi drivers.

There is no /o/ approved country. Either the taxes are too high, the traffic laws and modification laws too strict, the traffic too bad, the roads too boring, the roads in too bad a condition or the drivers too uneducated.

Get an old Cherokee instead. They're just as capable as a wrangler and you don't have to pay a meme tax.
