Current Automotive Count

The Slope is taking an inventory, and sharing it. Two categories:

1. Projects (Cars that don't run)
2. Drivers (Cars that could get me to a hospital if I were on fire and missing an arm)

1. Projects
1978 Fiat X1/9 - Needs battery, fuel filter and time.
1976 Ford F250 4X4 - Needs 360 installed in place of 390 that is currently fully disconnected but not yet removed
1994 K1500 Suburban - Needs 4L60E, I'll likely part this one out and turn it for metal weight
1972 Plymouth Scamp - Slant 6 needs fuel/spark, fuel lines are crusty, drum brakes at all four corners are unacceptable, both quarters are wavy, some rust in roof

2. Drivers
1975 Toyota Celica - Has 20R with header, 5 speed from 2wd pickup, lots of rust and sad, sad tires. It'd get me to the hospital, but I'd get pulled over on the way. Sidenote: I gave this one away, but the new owner never took delivery.

That's a sad list. The Scamp and Celica only just reemerged into my stable, before them I was down to 3 cars, but, hey, I own a driver now.

1) Projects

1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 - started working on it again, the list is preposterously long, but the goal is to make more power than the hoover dam

1992 Toyota 4runner - Seems to have developed an unfortunate amount of rod knock, I haven't been able to budget the time to fix it so it sits.

2) Drivers:

2005 Hayabusa - I put gas in it, and it's factory stock. I did 550 miles on it last weekend FTW.

3) Loaners:

1991 Eagle Talon - Borrowed it back from my dad so I could have some sort of cage to bomb around in. I forgot how much I loved this car.

Driver:
09 Saturn Sky Redline. Only posted because it's also a project: Hoping for some engine work, shocks, roll bar, racing seats/harnesses and maybe some hoosier a6's by spring/summer.

Gotta love competing with your daily driver...
