It's all fake. I was at Wyotech when they filmed one of the first episodes of the Foose show, where they turned the tri 5 into the roadster. The car belonged to a friend of the show and the build took 9 months, not the week or whatever that they portray it on the show. Nobody is actually getting the ol two tone surprise

speaking of which

N/A Eagle Talon 5spd FWD

Strut towers have been booger weld patched, but seem solid
Unibody rail has a small weak point near the back side.

$500, engine is leaky and it needs a $50 control arm.

Should I pull the trigger or not?

Probably a pickup truck. Anything like OP pic is going to have everything electrical broken, auto trans were kinda a joke then too. Parts also hard to find.

slant 6 mustang

Any American V8 or straight 6. They won't be fuel efficient, some may be smogged to all hell and very weak, but they'll keep running and are simple as fuck to fix.

If I wanted humor I'd look at your car.

not much, other than having a really good rally team with a really good driver (rip)

why even start a thread about something you don't like?

why not start a thread about a car company you do like?

why does /o/ hate cars more than /v/ hates video games?

The falcon was a freighter, so I would imagine it as something big

Late 90's C/K

Also this thread is now about Star Wars ships as cars

My sister had one when she was in high school, I drove it a decent amount. I fucking loved that car. It got totaled last summer when she was rear ended, RIP ;_;

The gasket around the camshaft is prone to failure, resulting in spark plug wells that are filled with oil. It's like $30 for parts and maybe an afternoon's work if you're really slow. Also rust around the rear wheel wells, the panel will come off and there's just nowhere to bolt it back on. Ours was duct taped for years.

Do it. If it was an auto I would say no but since it's not go for it

Damn, that sucks. Thanks for the heads up. That's one thing I'm trying to get an idea of; if there are any major issues these guys are prone to at these miles.

Generally stay away from anything rusted to absolute shit. Most engine components are usually fine. Stay away from the electrical and cloth upholstery. Leather can be fine if properly cleaned.

Get the classic junkyard ls for 500 smackaroos

>Look around for shit for my car
>Nothing specific just parts and stuff

What are you doing?
"going to the store."
What are you gonna get there?
"nothing specific just food and stuff"
>try pulling this shit on /ck/

we want to know details OP.
Here's some vague answer to your vague question.
>what parts to leave?
anything made of rubber unless it looks really good, anything rusted beyond a sand and repaint, anything made to be replaced like filters, brake rotors, or spark plug wires, bearings and universal joints, glass.
>things of dubious quality but could be worth it:
Master and slave cylinders, power steering racks/pumps, any part of a/c system, electrical components, parking brake cables, control arms and other related front end parts, drive shafts and other related drivetrain parts like rear diffs/ cv joints, sensors, radiators, tires (check age)
>almost always worth it:
engine components, transmissions, body panels, intercoolers, turbos, charge pipes, interior/trim if it looks good, headlight/turn signal housings, grill.

>>14089437
Because no one ever replaces just the boot except backyard mechanics and crackheads.

Shops won't touch it because once it's been driven with the boot split, grease has been escaping and water has been getting in, and god knows how long it's been driven like that, and thus how much extra damage/wear has been put on the C/V joint that boot was protecting.

My personal philosophy is just to ignore cracked boots. If a boot fails, I wait for the C/V joint to start clicking, then replace the whole axle.

>>14089481

Regardless of if they just want to replace the boot or not, everything they said was wrong.

>>14089437
>costs 10 USD
>youtube of guy replacing boot. Took him 1 hour
>I'm not experienced enough to do it myself
Do it yourself, it's not that hard.
