Is this the year for a cheap project car?
No, probably not. Although the Fiesta is almost paid off, which is nice.

I wish I had done more of them this year.

How long have you had the FiST now? And... What came before it?

I’ve had it a year and a half, and it’s my first car.

Do I want to know how long that has been open to the elements?

“cheap project car”
Isn’t that some sort of oxymoron?

It’s cheap getting it started, everything past that is... well, you know.

I’m tired of it, and want to spend more time with my motorcycle. I would even be willing to partial trade for the Fiesta if that interests you.

No dice on that at this point in time, unfortunately.
What’s got you down about it? I think you mentioned parts availability last time we talked...

It’s getting older, some parts are hard to find but the biggest thing is I don’t know what to do with it. When I took it to BC it had no problem keeping with the more powerful better handling cars, it’s already more capable then public roads can be pushed, so modding it for more power or better handling seems pointless.
I’ve had it for 10 years and the list of things to fix never gets any shorter no matter how many things I knock off. Like in the spring I need to replace the rear shocks, the axle seals, the flex disc on the driveshaft, and clean/repair/replace the idle air valve. I worked on it so much last year I only got to ride my motorcycle once... in September. Also the sunroof won't power close anymore, something I've done no research into fixing.
