Steering---manual

Complete body-off restoration.  We bought this F100 from the original owner with no intentions of doing a restoration.  We were just going to clean it up a little.  After realizing how solid this truck was we decided to restore it.  We removed the body and bed and had the inside and under-side of the bed media blasted.  The inside floor of the bed was extremely solid with just some light pitting.  The underside was just as nice.  The lower sides in front of and behind the tires were perfect with only a couple of pin-holes that showed up after the blasting.  The floor of the cab was solid with only a small spot on the drivers floor that had began to show signs of rust.  I removed the spot and replaced it with a 6"x6" patch (didn't really need it but did it anyway).  We had the entire truck sanded and repainted the original Boxwood Green.  We painted the underside of the bed but left the cab underside original.  You can still see some of the original paint on the bottom of the cab.  The body panels had no dents (other than a couple of small dings) so no body filler needed to be used other than a light skim-coat to make sure everything was smooth.  We wanted to use as many of the original parts as we could so we only replaced the body-side molding and the front hood lip molding.  The front grill, window chrome, emblems and all the glass is original to the truck.  The truck has the complete original interior (still has the original FoMoCo rubber mat) except for a dash cover.  The seat has a few small splits in the stitching (as you can see in the pictures) but we did not replace it because you cannot find the original material.  The AM radio still works.  The cigarette lighter doesn't look like it has ever been used.  We replaced all the window and door rubbers.  We put 8" wheels with bands and dog dish caps to give the truck a little better look.  We replaced all 4 shocks, both rear leaf springs and some bushings to help with the ride.  The engine is original to the truck and runs and sounds great.  I put a new head gasket and intake gasket on the engine and that was all I had to do to the engine. 

This is a very solid and great running truck.  This is not a $25000 restoration but if you are looking for a great truck that will turn heads and you will be proud to drive then this is the truck for you.  I have tried to describe in detail as much as I can.  I am sure I have left something out but I don't like to "over sell" something.  Let the pictures tell you the rest.

Unibody Ford Ranger replacement

Ford Figo concept unveiled in India

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Ford has officially unveiled the Figo Concept at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. While it may wear a concept badge, we'd argue this little sedan, which is under 12 feet long, looks ready to replace the current Figo and do battle with other B-segment cars in the world's emerging markets.
"With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford's VP of engineering, global product development. That premium design includes Ford's familial, trapezoidal grille and Fusion-esque headlights in front, while the rear end reminds us of the last-generation Focus Coupe. While that car wasn't exactly attractive, the chopped off tail looks pretty nice on this smaller car. And if you really don't like the looks of the Figo Concept, just remember - it looks better than the current production model. Aerodynamically, the Figo's shape is quite slippery, which means reduced wind noise and improved fuel economy.
As for the "smart solutions" touted by Galhotra, the narrow confines of Indian streets make driving even the tiniest cars a challenge. To give the Figo Concept a one-up on the competition, Ford has fitted power-folding mirrors that sport a "flexible architecture," which should stand up well to bumps from cars, people or bikes. We don't have any interior images, but Ford is promising a large cabin, that includes a dock that can accommodate a phone or MP3 player, allowing either to be controlled through the car.

Swedish car mag says Ford Mondeo is dangerously, illegally overweight [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Sweden's Teknikens Varld has a reputation for being very persnickety when it comes to auto safety testing, and its latest catch is the Mondeo Titanium Estate 2.0 TDCi 150 bhp S6 MPS (basically a station wagon variant of the Fusion). In addition to the model's mile-long name, it has another problem according to the Swedes, because its weight on the scales does not equal the official numbers for the vehicle. Teknikens Varld claims the wagon is dangerously overweight because it weighs in 4,145 pounds, while Ford officially lists its weight at 3,530 pounds. That 615-pound disparity means that if a family loads it to what they think is the model's gross vehicle weight, it will actually be too heavy, and therefore illegal to drive in Sweden. According to the magazine, when it tried doing this, the rear wheels scraped against the wells, and the estate failed the mag's legendary moose test. However, at 220 pounds over the limit, it passed the test. When reached for comment by Autoblog, Jay Ward, Senior Manager at Ford of Europe Product Communications, explained the reason for the deviation between the official numbers and the magazine's test: "We are aware of this, but this is not an issue that relates specifically to the safety of the Mondeo, but is in fact related to the way in which the cars are tested by the authorities. We provided an Ambiente model for the testing but the car that featured in the magazine test was a Titanium model which has a different weight. We are in discussion with the Swedish Transport Agency to change the framework so the real weight of the Titanium model is reported instead of the Ambiente model which will resolve the issue." Teknikens Varld is well-known for calling out automakers for perceived transgressions. Most recently it leveled criticisms against the all-wheel drive system in the Honda CR-V, and both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Porsche Macan failed its moose test.

Manage Settings. The new Ford Mondeo is dangerously overweight The new Ford Mondeo is a great car, which Teknikens Varld's test shows, but there is one problem – the weight. Mondeo weighs 279 kg more than Ford claims. With big load (ie family plus luggage) the car therefore becomes illegal to drive.
