Well She Needs a bit if work

Hey I just wanted show a couple of pictures off of my new little kitty cat. Well not new, ahhhh, you can see. Its good and solid but needs a lot of tlc. I rescued this one from the bad man that wanted to crush it. It came on the trailor needing a head gasket and a new door hinge.

Good for you. Did you have to kick the Bad Man in the nuts? Nice save.
So is it 5spd or auto? You've got work to do. Snap to it. LOL  once you get that thing buttoned up clean that engine bay. These 2.3t's seem to get neglected pretty bad.

It looks like an automatic.
Nice machine! You could get it back together with a few days' worth of work. Don't forget to install dowels when you put the head back on.

I see irony... the garage says ford country with a lebaron in it.

nice cat! but one thing im sure you are going to want to change is that transmission. autos in these cars suck.

5speed for the win
