        • My ebay hubcap broke off on the highway yesterday, the ring and clips stayed on the wheel, but the rest shot off into the gaurdrail.

          Popped em all off because it looks trashy to drive around without a complete set, and I am kinda glad to go back to the exposed steel rims with stock ford spindle nut caps.
          Filled the tank with 89 octane, inflated the tires to 38psi, and cleaned off most of the bird crap. (Friggin' enormous flock of birds were hanging around my neighborhood the other day) There had to be at least two dozen spots of bird crap all over the car.

          Once I get some extra money I will be looking for a replacement hood in the southwestern Ohio area, preferably white or black, but I will take just about any color as long as it has no visible rust, serious dings and peeling paint/clearcoat. I will be willing to travel to eastern Indiana, Northern Kentucky, or around Columbus.

              Next time, use a wet vac and a straw. A mouse pad will make a good seal.

                Ehh, I found it easier to just drill a couple holes in the bottom, thing isn't the best shape anyway and the holes are hidden.

                      Ahh yes, I have seen the shop where at least 4 really good looking Harvesters sit out front there in Springfield, been by that shop many times. Honestly didn't know about the Harvester truck show.

                      But yeah, probably won't really have the money until after new year, and after I get my tax return.

                      That is how bad my hood is, and those vertical marks are not scratches, those are gouges.

                              Nope just the regular 91 Capri style. I do already have the 3 spoke style though.

                                Drove it all over a massive junkyard. I picked up a cargo light and hatch latch from an LX for a local festy guy.
