Is that wine or beer?

Wine.

something like that, but im turning the block upside down. gotta be able to see all 5 holes lol. or i'll stand it on it's side and turn it into a endtable.

So you're gonna have a twin turbo svt v6 focus when you're all done right? ;)

You can put a 2.5TT on the back that would be so cool...lol i can't wait to put 2.0T on mine.

Engine and trans is out. Pretty easy, just stuck a tow strap through 2 holes in the block, and dropped it down and pulled it out :P Going to be stripping the block clean, and de-greasing it for his coffee table :P

my dad bought me the beater car that im gonna be driving til the focus is fixed.
the 87 taurus's outsides were cleaner and newer looking than the inside (and performance) would lead you to believe. so we took it rallying, and took sexy pics. im gonna put them up in a few minutes here. i could try and list whats wrong, but that list is sooo long im not even gonna start. im not compaining, all i wanted was a mode of transportation, my mode even has a working vintage '87 radio :)

hey brian, sorry bro but im not going to lie. that taurus is probably the biggest piece of shit ive seen in my life. haha, o well its better than riding your bike around. I guess.

[Timmeh!]

i know its a total POS and i treat it like one.
but hey, beats ridin a bike.
