I don't know anything about the paint... :S the guy that is painting it took the gas cap
To the paint store... That's how its done here... Don't know if its like that everywhere...

**Mr Joshua** · 02-06-2010, 04:57 PM

nice update

**colonialmotion** · 02-22-2010, 02:43 PM

ive been going to the shop and staying there all afternoon... only way i can get them to
work on my car... thats how it is here.. :S so they are finally putting everything together...
the engine bay is being reasembled and the engine is getting put back together..

the owner is a friend of mine and i made the mistake of telling him to take his time because its not my daily driver.. BIG MISTAKE!!!

**In2Fords** · 02-22-2010, 03:30 PM

its looking great. As long as your friend is charging less I would let him take his time! I am wiling to scrafice some time to beable to put money into a better build

**69clark** · 02-22-2010, 04:12 PM

Motor looks great. Why was I thinking your car was a 302 car?

**colonialmotion** · 02-23-2010, 09:10 AM

yea he let me deal with the employees and no charge from the shop... but the one working on my car pushed it into a corner and works on other stuff because i think they get a 30 or 40% when fixing a car.. i have to pay him $2,300 pesos (like $70 dollars) for pulling the engine, stripping the engine apart and stripping the engine bay for the paintors.. sound like a deal? labor is cheap here... if i ever had the money to do it, my dream would be to go to the US, buy old cars in need of restoration, bring em' here and then send them back new and sell..

Tom my signature says i have a tiny 2.3.. lol, i almost bought a turbo coupe engine out of a tbird when i was in florida a while ago but decided to stay stock engine wise..

**m81mclaren** · 03-10-2010, 08:46 PM

Hi Marshall is this Marti Report different from the EMINGER INVOICE? I did not see this as an option for purchase. Thanks, M81

edit, nevermind, I see the Marti is available up to 1979 only at this time

**colonialmotion** · 03-29-2010, 01:57 AM

about time they did something!!!

made a custom stainless exhaust WITHOUT taking the car to the muffler shop... big mistake... apart from it not fitting and having to drive back and forth from where the car is to the muffler shop, the bender didnt get along with the stainless steel and mangled it all up.. so theres about $100 bucks down the drain because it didnt work... im gonna do one without bending... cutting and welding i think will turn out better.. and with the car at the muffler shop.. sorry for all the writing! lol

**CobraGT40** · 04-11-2010, 06:09 PM

That's cool ! I'm going to D.R. next month...if I see a Pace Car tooling around, I'll make sure to say hello !

**MAC'n89blckstng** · 04-14-2010, 06:29 PM

Its cool to know there are these cars over there! I just restored a 60 TBird for a customer that lives in the Dominican Republic!

really? thats so cool! he must be a member of the classic car club...
here there is a law that you cant bring cars older than 5 years
but cars 1971 and below if you are a member of one of the classic clubs
with their approval you can bring in.. i wish i could bring a four eyed gt or a capri...
but its impossible...

**colonialmotion** · 05-25-2010, 10:53 AM

Hi guys! finally got the car out of the shop!
i wanted to lower the car so bad to see how it would look! so i did!

im gonna be in florida for a couple weeks because in going to the lowell dunn auto auction in dahlonega georgia.. my dad might buy a 56 ford victoria!
