Officially part of the family now...

[Hankyman240]

Got the title signed over on my '98 Toreador Red base today... there is the small issue of the car still being about 1800 miles away, but that will be dealt with soon enough .

Lots of credit goes to My Great 8 for being so helpful and open about the car. I've never bought a vehicle from out of state before and so far it hasn't been a bad experience at all. Granted I don't have the car yet, but I don't forsee there being too much of a problem with that, I trust the guy going down to get it .

I've been around some of you guys for a while... showed up to the last couple beach parties and drove other people's cars on the cruise... it'll feel good actually having one myself for a change. I'm sure I'll be posting a lot more on here, especially when Brandon gets sick of answering my stupid questions, haha.

Glad everything went smooth with the title transfer. You also have to give thanks to my good friend Alex (Ultimate SVT) for the paint job he did painting over the chrome. I will be vacuuming it and giving it a coat of wax if I have time after work today. Best of luck with it. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine!

 

[Hankyman240]

No hurry on getting it shined up... it's not getting picked up for another week. Appreciate the thought though, I'm excited to see it in person!

 

[ford nut]

Did Brandon tell you about the initiation?

What is involved?

I did hear something about a fight between you and I for a working driver's side seat track, but besides that, no .

 

[NoLimit95]

What is involved?

I bet he didn't. :shifty: I'd be worried.....

You lucky turd!!! You got a great car! If I wouldn't have purchased the current 97 from Rich I would've purchased this one! Very clean car. I enjoyed painting the trim on this vehicle! Good times w/Rich & Elliott!

No hurry on getting it shined up... it's not getting picked up for another week. Appreciate the thought though, I'm excited to see it in person!

Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Smooth car all around. It's a true shame it's got that ding on the door. No biggie though, Should be easy to pop that sucker out!

I repair appliances for Best Buy. They let me take the van home. One of many perks that come with the job. With gas prices what they are, that perk gets bigger and bigger by the day!

 

[wickedwhiteVIII]

Plus that van has the 6.0 liter it hauls major a$$!

Thanks, that's good to hear. Looks like you did a good job on the trim from what I've seen!

 

[UltimateSVT]

Thanks, that's good to hear. Looks like you did a good job on the trim from what I've seen!

I take pride in my work! It got a nice sanding, 2 coats of primer, a bit more sanding to smooth it out, 3 coats of toreador red & 2 coats of clear!

These were taken just minutes after I finished doing the job! Like I said, I love the car!
