Dan from Lima, Ohio

[DanM7890]

just bought my first 1977 X19. im very excited so far. it sat in my gfs pasture for almost 11yrs and i was never told about it. been dating only a couple months. so i bought the car for $100.

a lil about myself. i grew up in dublin, ohio, graduated from coffman high school. i now attend the university of northwestern ohio for high performance. currently im on an arca race team which takes up all my weekends. i have a lowered 07 ranger as my daily. also have a 86 cougar block that im building up to 400hp with a holset turbo. so i have a lot on my plate right now. but im clueless when it comes to older cars. this car looks like a great project for road racing, which i would love to get into.

The upper bodywork doesn't look too bad, considering the amount of time it's been outdoors... Could you salvage some parts for your next X19?

im going to try hard. like the doors are still fine, rust is surface. maybe some cut and weld some small pieces if nessasary but the under side is killer. the upper strut mounts look good though

Best of luck with that! Keep us informed with your progress - we all love a good project here! I know little or nothing about the X19 but there are some very helpful people here if you need it




Cool Ranger, btw
