Ah now see your like me! Im debating if i should risk running it one the 2 year old oil and filter.... Plus that means i have to take out of my savings account,which already only holds 60... Unless my mom takes me and pays shes not getting gas today. Sound sound quite nice on just the catted h!

I thought you said gas was all that was left.You HAVE to put good fluids in it first.Have you checked E-Bay?there are h-pipes all over.Check it out.You'll have to lengthen the flow tubes a little,but any ler shop can do that for cheap.I wish a lot of you guys lived down here.I found a yard in Oklahoma City that has 3 mark VII's.

well it really is the only thing but, im not gonna be stupid im playing it safe, cause the car isn't 109k miles, its either 95k or 195k i hope its the first, there is no tenth of a mile on the gauge, so its reading 95k right now. It looks in to good of shape to be 195k so. Im gonna be buying a 2 1/2 catted h for the flowmasters, then im gonna make a temp piece to put it out in front of the tires, till i can get it to a ler shop for some 2 1/2 tail pipes. Im getting a motorcraft filter, and royal purple once my dad sends me my birthday money..... Royal purple isn't cheap but if im gonna do it, im gonna go all out! Next will be nice plugs and wires, cap and rotor. But those will wait!
Im just gonna get gas and thorw it in see if the pump cycles, and see if she will fire up, then shut it right down. I NEED to know if i bought a runner, or if im gonna be throwing money in it!

Might not be a bad idea to pull the plugs, get a breaker bar, and turn the engine a little bit by hand...that will at least tell you if it's froze up or not. good luck with it, not a bad looking car at all.
Wish I'd had a decent car like that at your age.

I've never worried about the oil, as long as it looks normal(not milky etc), and the engine will spin, I'm gonna try to start it... IF the oil is $hitty it's probably fornicateed up anyway... If you change the oil first you should change it again as soon as the motor is hot... All the  that settled out of the old oil, is laying in the bottom of the pan and just got sucked up in the new oil...

IF it runs OK and don't raise Hell, I'll give it a oil and filter change...

not a bad price check around the moldings i noticed around all of mine theres rust bubbling up. If you get it and do the coilover conversion tell me how its rides. My air suspension is good, but im contemplating swapping it. Wish mine was black on black, but im good with what i got. Im looking into maybe doing the mass air conversion, and a new h pipe for first rounds of mods. Tomorrow if it stops raining i should have my permit, and the car running!
