Been really busy lately, actually, mostly just been broke lately. The spring semester just started up and has me returned to a struggling college student status. Bought a pertronix ignitor for the Mach over a month ago and couldn't get it to fire after installing it. Just finally got the timing set with it today and had it running for the first time in a while. Really gave me that itch again, so I'm gonna pick up some cheap tires to use while I save up for some new BFG T/As.
Found a set of Cooper Trendsetter SE 205/75R-14s on some stock steel wheels on Craigslist listed for $200. Gonna go check them out tomorrow and see if I can't give the seller the old broke college kid sob story and offer $118 (it's all the cash I have haha). Called the guy up and he seemed cool. Said he's had them in the garage for over a year, had them on his '65 Ranchero just for moving purposes. Told him I was just looking for something to put on my Mach while I restore it. Claims they have 90% tread left, I don't really care since the back tires are going to lose a lot of tread fast. They should look nice and funky on the Mach, too, but at least I actually be able to take it around the block.
Anyways, just wanted to check in with you guys since I haven't posted in the past few months.
