LOST MY STORAGE - SO THE PROJECT HAS TO GO ! MY KID AND I PURCHASED THIS A FEW MONTHS AGO WITH THE INTENTION OF DROPPING IN A REBUILT ENGINE (ABOUT $1,500 ONLINE) AND HAVING SOME FUN RE-DOING THE INTERIOR AND MAYBE THROWING IN AN A/C UNIT FOR HOT TEXAS SUMMERS. UNFORTUNATELY, I NO LONGER HAVE A STORAGE SPACE FOR IT - SO SOMEBODY ELSE IS GONNA GET THEMSELVES A VERY NICE CLASSIC PROJECT, THAT SHOULD BE EASY TO COMPLETE. NOW, THE ENGINE MAY BE SALVAGABLE, I DON'T KNOW. THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM TOLD ME HE WAS TOOLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER RETURNING FROM OKLAHOMA WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND SPUTTERED TO A STOP. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN (AND HONESTLY HAVEN'T PUT MUCH TIME IN TO TRYING) BUT I WOULD ASSUME HE GORKED IT. HE WAS RUNNING THE CAR BETWEEN TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA AS LITTLE AS SIX MONTHS AGO. I DO KNOW THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REBUILDERS ONLINE WHO CAN SHIP A LONG BLOCK FOR ANYWHERE FROM $1,500 TO $1,999. ALL THE ENGINE BOLT-ONS AND ACCESSORIES APPEAR TO BE EITHER NEW, REBUILT OR IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE - INCLUDING THE EDELBROCK UNDER THE ORIGINAL AIRCLEANER. ALL THE GLASS IS ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD SHAPE, EXCEPT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE GLASS WHICH IS FUNCTIONAL, BUT CRACKED. OF COURSE, WITH ANY UNRESTORED VEHICLE THIS OLD, A LOT OF THE RUBBER AND WEATHERSTRIP IS GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. ON THE PLUS SIDE, THE RESTORATION/REBUILD WAS ALREADY BEGUN BY PREVIOUS OWNERS, WITH MANY NEW BRAKE AND SUSPENSION PARTS. THEY ALSO CONVERTED TO A 12 VOLT ALTERNATOR, FROM A SIX-VOLT GENERATOR. THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS IS BECAUSE THE CAR APPEARS VERY SOLID, WITH NO VISIBLE RUST THROUGH. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT PAINT BUBBLING HERE AND THERE - BUT NOTHING I DON'T THINK CAN'T BE GROUND OFF AND SURFACE FILLED. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE "WORST" SPOT, (OTHER THAN THE AFOREMENTIONED DRIVERS FLOOR AREA). I WAS TOLD WHEN IT WAS RUNNING IT TRACKED STRAIGHT AND HAD GOOD BRAKES. THE TRUNK INTERIOR LOOKS REAL SOLID AND SOME PANELS UNDER THE HOOD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW. THE ONLY PLACE THAT IS GOING TO NEED SOME METAL WORK (AS FAR AS I CAN TELL FROM A LIMITED INSPECTION) IS THE DRIVER-SIDE FLOOR, WHICH HAS SOME RUST THROUGH. THE GAS PEDAL IS GONE AS WELL. I SAW A REPLACEMENT PANEL ONLINE FOR ABOUT $35 BUCKS THAT SHOULD POP RIGHT IN. THE PEDAL WILL RUN YOU AN ADDITIONAL $12. I WAS GONNA PICK UP A WELDER AT THE HARBOR AND HAVE SOME FUN LEARNING SOME SPOT WELDING. THE INTERIOR NEEDS A COMPLETE RE-DO FROM HEADLINER TO CARPET. THE SEATS WERE RECOVERD, BUT NOT VERY WELL. THERE IS NEW(ER) CARPET IN THE CAR - BUT IT WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. MOST (IF NOT ALL) INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR TRIM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE CAR. THE DOORS WILL NEED NEW PANELS, BUT I THINK ALL THE TRIM IS THERE AS WELL. THE FRONT SEAT BASE IS IN THE TRUNK. THIS IS MOST LIKELY A "TIME PROJECT", NOT NECESSARILY A "MONEY" PROJECT - FOR A NICE DRIVER. THE CAR STILL HAS VALID OKLAHOMA TAGS AND WAS RUNNING AS LITTLE AS SIX MONTHS AGO - SO WITH A LITTLE WORK - IT SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO AGAIN. I HAVE MORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE, AND AM WILLING TO INVESTIGATE/PHOTOGRAPH ANYTING ADDITIONAL YOU MAY NEED. I WILL BE AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU GET THIS ON A TRAILER, OR ASSIST YOUR TOW GUY IF NEEDED. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEE THE CAR IN PERSON BEFORE YOU BUY, BUT CAN TELL YOU - EVERYTHING LOOKS PRETTY SOLID. |

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon
Tue, Jan 3 2017The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.

Editors' Picks March 2021 | Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, Land Rover Defender and more
Thu, Apr 8 2021The month of March was unofficial minivan month here at Autoblog. We drove all of them but the Kia Carnival, but don’t worry, you wonÂ’t have to wait much longer to read that review. Among all the family-toting machines, we drove some more exciting vehicles including the Land Rover Defender and a pair of up-and-coming EVs. It was a month of excellent cars, meaning that this monthÂ’s litter of EditorsÂ’ Picks is stacked. In case you missed FebruaryÂ’s picks, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in March that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Ford Bronco Sport 2021 Ford Bronco Sport First Edition View 32 Photos Quick take: Ford's baby Bronco is an authentic foil to the big Bronco 2-Door and 4-Door. It brings rugged styling, better-than-average off-road capability and thoughtful utility features to a generic segment of cars. Score: 8 What it competes with: Jeep Compass, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trailblazer Pros: Stellar design, excellent off-road, clever interior details throughout Cons: Pricier than most, average transmission, underwhelming interior quality and ambiance in lowest trims From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — “I genuinely enjoy driving this cute crossover. It feels like a mini truck on the road, and Ford admirably translated the design from its big Bronco over to this Escape-based crossover. News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "The Bronco Sport isn't perfect, the transmission could use some work, and it's a little bumpy, but it's a characterful little thing with loads of style, great visibility and space, and impressive capabilities on and off road in the powerful Badlands form." In-depth analysis: 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Review | Bronco for the masses  2021 Land Rover Defender 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 View 64 Photos Quick take: The Land Rover Defender provides everything you'd hope for in a modern Land Rover: superlative off-road capability, surprisingly plush on-road demeanor, abundant interior space and abundant character. The base four-cylinder is likely all you'll need and lower trim levels provide more than enough equipment.
Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks
Fri, 19 Sep 2014It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.
