well i took my 93 ford tempo off the road.it's still legal but i decided to drive my intrepid.bigger car for my family.so the tempo is my dirt poor fun car.i figured i would post pics of my first mod my home made side pipes.madse these at work for free so ya.we are gonna install flamethrowers on these also.she will be getting painted flat black primer with red wheels and chrome rings and chrome centers.factory topaz wheels(steelies).this not meant to be a high end car but a real cheap project .more or less a time filler.anyway guys i'm sure this thread will get really flamed but here ya go.this is still a test fit till i get the caps and brackets made.(even my daughter seems to be rolling her eyes)here ya go
c and c welcome
why would you get flamed???/ thats awesome
Why dump any money into something you are going to beat up? Just use it as a field beater, ramp some @!#$ with it.

i have 0 dollars in it now. the pipes were made by me and materials were free. plus the car was also free.also still street legal as of yet.(always will be but barely)the only reason i started this is because i have put all my other projects on hold and i just wanna have some fun.the coils and everything for the flamethrowers are next.(also free)my father is a mechanic and works and a slavage yard.so i get all my parts for nadda or next to it.i'll keep yas updated.i will be making my caps this weeks and hopefully painting shortly after christmas.will also be very cheap(flat back primer)anyway keep the comments comin guys
f'n eh. i approve. if i didnt need the money at the time, my 89 cav would have been treated like a giant quad and beat on till the engine rolled out through the radiator. ended up selling it for $200 two years ago, and it still runs strong. that car was tank man... the bottoms of the door sills were rusted out, so i covered them with... get this... round heat duct. cheapest repair i ever made on that car. i kinda miss it now...

I have a similar project with my brother, a '93 Ford Bronco thats soon going to have a snail on it
I can't wait to see what a boosted 351 can do.
Ford Beaters FTW!
