The All About My Kids Thread (and other random things)...
« on: August 27 2014, 09:16:56 PM »
I do a lot of random things and have lots of crazy ideas for things I want to do with/for the kid(s) that aren't directly related to my project cars so I figured I'd share.

---

I needed a (mental) break from working on the wagon so I built this for our Daughter... she is 17 months old today.  Crazy!

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

So we recently bought a '99 Taurus off my brother in-law who had it unceremoniousl y left to him by his Grand Mother before she took off back to Germany; he couldn't afford it, and my wife is too damn sweet to let him suffer. So now I am suffering.  We've got about $1500 into the stupid thing already (certification, repairs (balljoint, endlinks, trans flush), emissions, plates, transport, and actually giving her brother some cash to ease "his pain").  This was before it started leaking oil like crazy out the front of the pan where the crankcase pressure pushed the gasket out (normal they say); my driveway is fucked with stains now.   As well, this is the base model with the Vulcan 3.0, not the DOHC Duratec... so it is a dog and was very quiet until today. ;)


Moroso valve cover breather to help keep the oil pan gasket from being pushed out again (that and where I spiked the front lip of the pan to pinch the gasket after I stuffed it back in), and the old K&N off the TrailBlazer to fix the car breathing through a straw.  I built the MAF adapter out of scrap steel and spare exhaust tubing (not a straight cut was found that day).

And lastly a 3" chambered glass pack - to hear that sweet 3.0L V6 rumble... even if the rest of the exhaust is 2" diameter. LMFAO!

when we had a ton of those in our fleet at work they were bad for needing the heater cored flushed out so you'd get some heat in the winter at least once in their service life.

That explains why the mechanic certifying it said "it has nice heat".

Save it for your little one. We have TuffTruck competitions in Lancaster County. Nothing more fun than drilling a car just because. :cheers: http://www.buckmotorsports.com/
