So now that I've over the shock, how did you go about finding such a deal?

- Thread starter 81malibu
- Start date
it just hit 130,000 kinda high
Because Im ugly?
Found it in the back of a small used car dealership in montana
Nice!! I want one just like it in Black!!
that is an incredible find, don't listen to that guy because i will give 1501 for it.... j/k
you can do little to it and turn a good profit but i would vote on restore.

Looks like the stock one, its just oddly discolored.
I would turn it into a track ho...........full Griggs suspension, no interior,stock motor
I think I'd rather put a cobra spec motor and body kit on a car that isn't worth anything than gut and hammer one that actually is, but that may be just me...
The compressor is a reman. unit..... its painted black and covered in oil build up. Prob. changed when they did the 134A conversion on it.
Just pressure washing the car under the hood for 10 minutes would make all the difference in the world.
Steaming. Every time I've pressure washed under a hood, something has fragged up. Steaming now... that'll work miracles.
I pressure wash under the hood on all my cars that I sell and have never messed up anything. The wand spray pattern needs to be set correctly and you don't get super close to what you are washing... its all in the angle.
I had a steam washer for a few years... all it ever did was blow back burning hot water on me and melt/blow off all the paint on the engine parts.
Keep it the same color!!!!!!!!! Changing to a different shade/color will really hurt its value.
When the Vibrant Red/Performance Red is fresh it is a very nice color.
Sounds like we both had our equipment set wrong. I've never had anything come back at me, and definitely never had anything melt or paint come off. Had all of the above happen with a pressure washer though. Guess we should both just stick to what we know, eh?
The blow back I am talking about happens with any pressurized liquid.... like when you hit a pocket on the motor or engine compartment and the water has no where to go but back at ya'..... with a steam washer its super hot water where as a pressure water its ambient temp.
I still use a steam cleaner on restoration projects that have heavy grease build up on the chassis or a on a motor/trans/rearend that is already removed and I am not concerned with blowing off the paint/finish.
No big deal.....Everybody has there preferred methods of cleaning :beer:
I know its vibrant red but dose any one know what the color code it is,if I go get it painted?
Code: "ES" it will be on the door data sticker.
Vibrant Red ('93) and Performance Red ('94-'01) are the same thing just a name change... all code ES
use paint Ford code ES the name is not important
x2 - keep it the same color FOR SURE.
