Starting to think I might have a problem? Still have everything but I'm way too short on time to maintain/use everything right now....

it looked like a teeny little mud puddle, but it was hiding around a 4' deep hole. rear end started to slide in, i saw the sky and tried to throttle out... but by that time it was up and over.

the gf was in the passenger seat. :lol:

2012 Fusion Sport FWD. My Fleet dept custom ordered it (for me) as a stock unit at my dealership without a Sunroof about 2 weeks before the final order date before they stopped 2012 production. We let it sit on the lot over a month (in the back) so I could get all the rebates and 1.9%. Sports didn't come with a cosmetic engine cover, so I bought one MKZ spec. One of the last 263hp 3.5 iVCT engines built. The end of the Aisin AF21 transaxle in the Fusion. Multiple Steeda chassis and intake mods. We cant get 93 octane or any decent gas here in CA (10% eth) otherwise I would drop in the SCT tune.

'Big' is such a relative term!

My baby which is a work in progress... it's not the yellow one.

This was in June, at the beginning of February it was still like... (really nice condition for a $3900 car!)

By may it was...

And the end of April I started driving it :) It will come apart this winter for finishing the body.

This is my first time ever doing welding and repair work like this as well I am happy with it's outcome ;)

1965 Austin Mini Moke, basically a classic mini cooper with not roof... Or doors... Or interior. They used them in some of the Bond films like Moonraker.

I saw a link to the whole build up on that Moke, it is here some where. Anyone?

20 plus pages and I read em all, with pics. Worth checking out.
