Heh, just saw this pic in Facebook.

Fortunately I have only seen one from afar

That one, but it was way skinnier:

Yes but the rear footwell will remain open I guess.

I once had a Y-jack. Talk about unstable.

That’s a blue line only. Over here we have blue lines for paid parking spots, white lines for free ones. Solid blue spots with white wheelchair pictogram for handicapped parking.

All modern cars have been running fully synthetic since the nineties. I bought my first new car in 1996 (Escort) and it was filled with 0W-20 from the factory. Was at Ford dealer yesterday (this is a completely different topic) and there was a poster on the wall: It says Castrol and Ford working together for 100 years. Which may confirm my suspicion of Castrol being the OEM for Motorcraft branded oil.

Trouble Starting- Help!

Corroding ground wires between the battery and the alternator have been an issue with the old shape more often than not, causing similar symptoms. -
I was planning on ordering lowering springs from Eibach for my other car. Screw them. Plenty of other suppliers available.

Long Wheel base or Tourneo Sliding door fit a SWB Connect?

I'm not too fascinated with the fit and finish of this particular window. -

1) LWB and SWB doors are of different shapes, so no. 2) Yes, it's basically the same car. -
In Europe, yes, 5 or 7 seats, barn doors or liftgate, middle row comes in 2+1 configuration only, AFAIK: https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=263063664 https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=250747092 Should be configurable unless is completely restricted for the US market.

TC rocker panels are stupid simple. Any good body shop will bend you a pair in an hour..

That's why it's written on the door to insert and retract slow, to prevent the flap from getting damaged, losing vacuum.
-
Yup, that would also take care of moth infestation problem.

Asking for a friend?
-
Not messing with wrong women helps with that.

There really is no difference there. Both exceed your engine’s requirements by a large margin.

Everything else is Motorcraft branded, always has been. This Castrol oli may very well be the OEM for Motorcraft brand and they decided not to renew the license deal.
-
That's the same oil Ford recommends in Europe, there's even Castrol logo on my oil cap.

Hot damn, I like the peg board conversion. Need to do one just like that. Looks like you had a blast building it. -
They’re all rather ineffective and subject to human errors. Minefield is the tool for the job.
-
Yes, but it’s much higher, which is good if you need to move around inside the cabin.

I would love an E-series van in case I need to haul something heavy or do a bus driver impression for gags. Once a year or less. My friend had a G-wagen but he sold it. So I have a performance panic now.
