so do you think it has bad bearings?? if so ill get the lincoln lowrider or the gremlin.

 

[charlief1]

Get something easy to work on for God's sake kid. the gremlin has enough room and is fairly decent on gas, unless you get the TR that is.

Ill check in on the gremlin, and the buick tomorrow. The other cars for sale were already sold. How much do you think a gremlin with an automatic 4cyl is worth?? 1978 amc gremlin

I hate car shopping... its a pain in the as$... T

Out here its snowing pretty bad and it froze up on the roads... it took me 90 minutes do drive 7 miles home... and the majority way it was a hilly Ice rink. I alsmost hit about 7 cars on the way home, kept sliding around corners, and got NO traction because the tires on the Merc are bald in the back. In my complex the entrance is on a hill, and with the tires the only way i could get up this hill without sliding into traffic (which was moving waayy too fast) was gunn it up the hill enough to get some traction and melt the ice to the ground, and it came by suprise while I had sandals on

I HATE snow... my rant for the day...

back to the car Today i decided to do some light bodywork on the car. I picked up a new hood, fender, and some other parts that ill wash and scuff up a bit. I wasnt able to make a deal on that shop space so im still stuck in a 10x18

What a damn week...

I try to stay away from fords. Every ford we have owned (besides a focus) has had some sort of tranny problem. We had a taurus wagon.... tranny, a 2006 ford Fivehundred, trans slipping, and this mercury which I hope to god can stand up to this weather that were having. the gremlin is a fairly easy car to work on, and the buick... well... is another buick I guess.

what would you get... im all ears?

 

[CamoDeafie]

a FWD GM car IMO.

 

[CamoDeafie]

ooo here!
half as many doors as i want (I want a coupe lol), Buick v6 with 2bbl carb (can use the heads from your project 3.8s lol), 2 sets of wheels, the daytons and the stock alloys, decent asking price considering that daytons go for like 2-300 bux...
1985 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS CIERA
