project Granny Sled
well, I guess I'll post this up now, I have had it since 7-15-06. Not near as much work done on it as I'd like, but I'm getting there.
basic info: 79 ford fairmont with 85,750 miles (original) purchased for $200 (yes that's two HUNDRED) and drove it up onto the trailer! ![]() ![]() according to the South Carolina Title it weighs 2800lbs... If I can keep it close to that with the setup I'm wanting in there I'll be quite pleased. Removed the front bench seat and found a TI-84 graphing calculator...practically new, put on ebay, sold for $50 in approx. 1.5 hours (total purchase price now at $150), sold transmission for $75, now down to $75 plus approx $150 in diesel fuel to get car and come back=$225 total Parts being used from my 92 coupe project:
Parts I have added
Parts I have removed
And now for some pictures ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() bullitts will not be on it, trading my 18"saleens for Mach 1 rims/tires and some $$$$ ![]()

I will, the minute I got rid of my mustang I started looking for a fairmont/zephyr/ltd and my buddy stumbled across this one on craigslist in South Carolina, I emailed them just to make sure the $200 asking price wasn't a misprint....it wasn't and I asked them "how do I get the $$$ to you?" LOL

That is cool dude. I am building a turbocharged minivan with a road race suspension and roll cage. So you're not the only person turning a family vehicle into a hotrod.
