sorry, today i had to check in.

sorry, it been wild times with working 2 jobs, during the summer. I work my normal job at the local sears and then during the summer. I work at the local white sox ball park as a night time super.
then my computer  crashed  at the first part of the summer and lost a lot on my favorite sites. today some one remind me ,I needed to check in here.  so here I am and I still have the white V-8 1982 COUGAR XR7, that I call casper
.

 I have added a few more toys to my collection.
 so here is the list, as I traded a junker V6-1984 camaro

 for a 1984 EFI V-6 LTD woody wagon .  so to save it because it was on it way to the crusher.
 


while looking  on CL for some quarter panels ,for one of my foxbody cars. I came across a yellow 1979 V-8 mustang . i paid $250.00 for




 I even got a bird poop yellow V-8 1978 Fairmont, that some kid  wanted to sell because it was his ex girl car. i paid $200.00 to bring it home



 then i found my $900.00 dump truck, to make going to the dump better.




i didn't want casper to feel lonely .so last week I drove up to the mountain to get another $200.00 car , that the owner wasn't sure of the year or if it was cougar or thunder bird. I was hoping  it was thunderbird but it wasn't. it a 1982 V-8 cougar XR7:clown:. so now I have two.



I should have known it was going to be a goofy:mullet: summer and fall ! when I traded my 1974 ranchero


for a  black omen 1987 T- TOP  camaro!:flame:



 so how was your all summer?

Nice finds, make sure to keep us updated on their progress. I would've been happy to find another Cougar, those are harder to find.

to  scratch it belly?:D



















 any time, i bring home a car/truck. I'm a big fan of not working on dirty cars. so up in the air, it go's and chain down. so not to fall off while I use my power washer to give it a bath and see if any weird animals' might come out.

Hey, that's a good idea. Then the  that comes out falls on the trailer and gets washed away instead of ending up on the shop floor. Thanks for the tip!
