Should be bolting it all back together today and tomorrow and hopefully have it into the car by the weekend as I'm now out of a car :lol:

It's amazing what happens when you don't EVER change the oil in an engine.

I could probably do it, I gutted mine so I got the basics down, it's just the whole removing while engine is in the car that I haven't had so much experience with (only once) DEFINITELY required though, when I was doing mine that shit was going everywhere.

Hey there was absolutely nothing wrong with the probe, for what I sold it for it would be more reliable than 95% of other cars you could find in that price range.
Pappy wrote: Wow, that sold WAY fast. Did ya get what you wanted out of it?
Yup, listed it for 1500 but really only planned for 1250. She stopped by and checked it out last Sunday, as well as one other guy. They both wanted it but the second guy backed out on Monday, she picked it up Tuesday 8) $1250 cash... 2/3 of which I already donated to Tousley :lol:

BTW thanks to Steve I have some amazing headlights on the Cougar 8) Just need to aim them (the car runs now)

You just keep telling yourself that Tony, It'll help you sleep at night ;)

I just can't help myself, old Probes are almost as scary as Merkur's and early '90's Capris.

Hahahhaha Come on it was a second generation and 90% Mazda anyhow. Not that bad of car (after all that was my second one)

Can't be nearly as bad as a dang Mercury Villager :shock: I hear they're a favorite in the service department

The Villager is just a misunderstood Nissan, That said they aren't real popular with the tech's.

When's the last time you tried to buy a heater fan motor? 8)

Scorpios were even more bizarre than the XR4Ti's, Now that I mentioned that I don't know the last time I saw one.
