Money pit

Haven't been on in a while, but I thought I'd post some pictures of the progress I've made on that Ford.

Unfortunately it's been slower going that I'd hoped for... pretty much whatever can go wrong has.  Plus I've just kind of been lazy on top of it, which isn't helping.

Anyway... I found a 302 that was running really strong, so I bought that to throw in it, since the 351 needed a complete teardown.  Just converting this to carburation and adding a few extras.  Other than that I'm just working on the bugs one at a time, but the weather has been a hinderance too.  

I was wanting to have it finished by the end of October... here's December and I'm still not even close.


The 302 I'm working on.


There's about 1100 bucks on my living room floor.

I wish Santa would have paid for it... my wallet STILL hurts.

I know how you feel. I spent a bunch of money on fixing up my old '90 ranger for this winter. New 32" mud tires, belts,hoses, changed ALL the fluids, etc....  Then I ended up trading it and an '87 4x4 parts Ranger for a 2000 S10 Xtreme.

But I have a '95 Ranger 4x4 that I picked up in July. that'll be my new offroad rig.

I owned that '90 since Highschool ('99) and dumped  a TON on money into it.Sometimes I wished I hadn't traded it cause of the sentimental value.

SOOO, Now I'm at a point where I have too many projects and too little time or money. Time to thin my collection...

I have the exact same problem... too many projects and not enough money to give them all enough attention at once.  It's hard enough just to focus on one at a time.
