Alright guys! I need some opinions, so I have a few motors that I have the opportunity to put
in Marla but I'm not quite sure yet, I could either put an M20 or M50, BUT it would be a pull-a-part motor that I would partially rebuild. OR, a 4.6 liter Ford v8 with low low low miles, but being a Ford motor I would need to do a bit of fabricating to make it fit, like I would with the M50. And the M20 is only a temporary option until I save up for something nice.
So went to pull-a-part today, it was VERY successful.
Got some front end pieces, front valance, and a grille in pretty good condition.
Also got interior peices for my dash so it will be complete, and lucked out
and found front and rear emblems!
Sadly the valance was in worse condition than I thought, we got it on but its pretty warped, and I don't have screws for the grille, but these things really aren't that important anyway.
Didn't take any pictures because I forgot but I'll have some up tomorrow.
Thanks for looking!
haha you aren't even old enough to go into a pullapart! Great work so far.

Whaatttt, who told you I wasn't old enough?
What are we looking at here? looks like you zip tied the strut cartridge to the knuckle...
Actually what the previous owner did was ziptie the tie rod to the knuckle so that there was
some sort of.... Steering? I guess you could call it that :P
But it's an honor to have you say such nice things about my build
Yes, the long awaited, slightly disappointing update..
Let's get started
Continuing from my little teaser sort of thing

Tie-rods out, I mostly took pics of the passenger side

Random picture, you can see the mess my steering rack made

Brand new tie-rods

And someone on here gave me the idea to clean what was left of my wiring harness

That's it for now!
Thanks for looking, I know it's not much of an update but I haven't had the money to
do anything to the car, working on getting a job now that I'm 15. And I'm also moving to Roswell in a few months, is there anyone in the stance scene in Roswell?
Yes the wiring will be fine, it was all grimy so it was washed with an old toothbrush and soapy water, then gets rinsed and is left until it is completely dry inside and out.
SD202, thank you for your incredibly uplifting vote of confidence..

If you're referring to me, no one. Ever seen what salt water does to EVERYTHING? Fresh water and a few other things are used to clear that off. Once that harness is dry, it will be just fine.
