The Falcon - XR4Ti

Here she is!

Now I have to figure out where to store the car, since my daily currently sits outside, and I’d like to have garage space for it with winter coming. I really hate scraping windows.

It’s sat the better part of 10 years, so it definitely needs some work (but it’s in pretty good shape all things considered).There’s a coolant leak under the intake manifold that has to be addressed. The brown interior is absolutely trashed, so the black interior I kept from the red car will go in it. The wing has a crack right in the middle, and there’s a couple of paint chips.

There’s a lot to do, and I’m having a hard time deciding where to start. I oiled the sunroof track yesterday as it was super stiff when I tried to open it. Some surface rust on the assembly, but the drains and the actual body work around the sunroof appeared rust free, which is about the best I could hope for from a car that’s lived in coastal Oregon for so long...

Gonna be a long road, but I’m excited!

Just ordered a fair number of parts that I know I will need. Engine sensors, thermostat, etc.

Also got a seal kit for the power steering rack. I've started taking it apart and will see if I can get it fixed. The car hasn't had working power steering since I got it. Sure would be nice to have that working.
