16 year olds 4 eyed resto project

[Shadow 1]

Right on. You're way ahead of me when I was your age. Wish I had a dad that was into the hobby like yours is. Keep working hard like you have been and your car dreams will come true.

Seconded.

And welcome to the site.

the purpose of this thread was just to share my project and introduce myself to the site. if we get off topic thats fine with me. just tryin to meet some of the people here and get a feel for the site. never really joined a internet site before

unfortunately i've already been stuck in an import =[ i saved up and went out shopping for a s10 or ranger but when i came home my parents "suprised" me by giving me a 2000 galant. i dont understand it. i snowboard and ski and stuff and i do it very frequently. i need 4 wheel drive. lol

are you complaining about your parents giving you a free car? Your nuts dude! I would have loved it if my parents would have giving me ANY car, import or not. You should be more grateful. A lot of kids aren't given cars.

Nice job. The key here guys is he is 16 and notice how he got the cash. WORKING WOW that is great cutting grass and working in a grocery store. This kid is out there making cash doing the type of jobs kids his age should be doing. Not sitting at home playing video games and text messaging etc. Most kids these days do not want to do the jobs that we did when I was that age. Keep up the good work on the car as well as you're work ethics.

Welcome to the site!!!! I love those 79-82's!!!!
Good luck on that 67 too....!!! My Pop had one when I was 3 1/2 years old.....I'm 45 now and have been in love with Stangs ever since.

PS..............I drove a dark green 72 Super Beetle with a auto-clutch...before I got my first Pony.

[dburdyshaw]

I'm glad you did join up. I belong to forums for a few of my cars.

They're helpful when you need help ---- and car guys are always cool.

I actually didn't mean that I'd make you mad at me. No worries. I just say stupid stuff alla time I guess.

redlord thanks for you compliment. i dont get told that very often because my family is used to me to be a straight A student, work 2 jobs, be a volunteer fireman and still find the time to enjoy myself by working on my car. and dburdyshaw your right everywhere i go on this site all i find are cool people. no jerks trying to talk down on other peoples stuff. just people talking about there stuff and sharing information.

[jvaughan]

i know im not allowed to post parts for sale since i haven't been here long enough and haven't donated and such but i have a few things you guys might like and i wouldn't want to see them go to waste. my dad just told me i have 2 weeks to get rid of my old hood, lightbar, and hoodscoop. all original stuff off my 79. im not lookin to charge alot for them just dont want to see them get thrown out. pm me for more info. again sorry for any rules this may break. if there is a problem i will gladly take it down

[xxxpaintball]

welcome to the site. great to see someone of the same age group joining up. me being 16 also work and am currently in the process of restoring my 85' GT with t-tops. i bought it for 3,500 and and put at least 5k+ into it. i have all the stuff to do a complete interior restore, the paint + sandpaper + bondo to repaint the car when it gets a bit warmer outside, and all the weather striping, exhaust upgrade, aluminum heads (havn't been put on yet), plus a bunch of other little things that add up lol. but like i said, its GREAT to see someone else join up. i have found this a EXTREMELY helpful site so far. Thanks all you FEP guys out there!

[4wheeldevil]

just start putting your 2 cents in on every thread out there and you will find that you meet the requirements really quick. and this kid dont sound ungrateful free car or not his parents should of known their kid better and gotten him a truck. i would politely ask to sell it and get a truck. while pointing out the cars inadequacies and the reasons to buy the car. if his parents are anything like mine they will be like oops ya you need a truck

Does that leave you time to sleep? LOL

There are very many super cool people on this site.

Whether you have a showcar, racecar or rustbucket, it's all cool.

I'm confident that you'll be a welcomed addition here at FEP.

[mossybull]

prost!keep up with the hard work and don't stray off course and life will treat you well!

[1982 niGhTmare]

Huh I somehow missed this. Cool to have more young 'uns here

Looks like you have a cool project there. I wanted to have a nice father-son project just like this, but that was before I was really looking for my 82 GT. I wanted a 71 Mustang project car so bad (and I still do) but couldn't find what I was looking for

Anyways nice to have you here and I look forward to the end result!

Oh, and bless you for being a volunteer fireman, be safe!

[jvaughan]

thanks nightmare. if you want i think i know of a 71 mach for 500 bucks. from what i'm told it would be a big project but hey... its 500 bucks. haha. if you want i could dig up some more info. i just got a lead on it about a month ago but i'm not really into the style so i never followed up.

and yes i have SOME time to sleep but to give you a hint i'm still doing home work at midnight and i get up at 6am to leave for school. haha

That would be sweet --- but --- I've kinda put it off for now until I finish college and my 82 so I can kinda keep the money in one spot for it. Also depends what "big project" means. Parts for them are very hard to find and very $$$.

Right now I've gotta fix my 93 and do a tranny swap to it, so as much as I'm wanting to say yes yes yes and PA is sorta driving distance (I'm in NY) I have to say no Unless if it's a killer deal..... Arrgghhhh you shoulda kept quiet LOL!

That sounds like something a chick on that sweet sixteen show. "You bought me a car but it's the wrong one!" Trucks cost more than cars as well.

All I know is if my parents would have bought me a POS rusted toyota minivan I would have been more than happy. I had to walk/ride a bike/find rides till I had worked enough money to buy a car. I had friends that had parents that wouldn't even pay for drivers training let alone buy them a car.

All I'm saying is don't be a spoiled brat.

[86fiveoh]

hey jvaughan where in chester county are you? Im in chester county PA too, west chester area

[4wheeldevil]

hell dude my first car was a pos too. but i was just saying he didnt sound like a brat.

[yzrider]

Sweet build man. all these chester county people in here. I work in west chester and go to school at penn state in media. Lots of four eyes running around apparently I havent seen any though. I just bought an '83 ill be driving it in a month or two once I get it all cleaned up and all.

Its cool to see a kid with a decent work ethic too I get up at 2am to go to work before school and then go right to class from work so I know how a hectic schedule is.

[86 50CPRI]

Welcome to the site.Its great to see somweone willing to work for what you want instead of the gimme,gimme thing. Your car sounds as if its going to be sweet. Keep it up!

[tbirdsps]

Listen here young man. You can work on my car anytime. You do good work it appears in the pictures. These are skills you'll appreciate in another 40 years or so.
