That's kinda what I was thinking. A 13 to 14 year old Ford that was a
semi-disposable econobox in the first place. Not to sound too shitty --
I have a couple I keep around myself ;) [1993 Nissan Sentra SE-R and
NX2000 -- dang it, they have Character!] But at some point you gotta
call it quits.
Hey! How about a 5-speed conversion? You could score an entire junk
car for a few hundred, $150 for a new clutch kit, swap it all over...
More fun, more mpg, and more DIY friendly!
BTW, our 1993 NX2000 is for sale for $300 in the Asheville, NC area.
Body rough, but mechanically pretty sound.
