Eh, a good floor jack and a piece of 1/2" plywood takes all the work out of that ;)

I hate how every cougar I buy eventually gets completely overtaken by rust. My black one is rust free so far, and I hope to keep it that way. The tan one was rust free when I bought it, but it turns out it was a fresh repaint over rust. Now it looks like a sea monster.

I thought someone did all your work?. Is that the white one? It's a bitch to change pumps in the car, light or no light.


Amen brotha! Now I can (semi) afford to pay mechanics if I need to, but back then there was no cash to do that. Had to do everything myself, with occasional help from friends. Looking back...I sure had a lot more energy/drive to do those things.

Most people here seem to refer to their cars as being female. Be sure to let us know how HE likes it. :flip:

well i hate the fact that i have to repair other peoples hack jobs. And my tc was no exception. The whole engine harness needs to be replaced because there are split wires everywhere, And plugs removed, stuff added that doesn't belong. But other than that finding good parts to replace the bad ones.

Trust me, I second that. I need to repack the bearings on my little truck, but I'll be darned if I can find any motivation to.
