Tomorrow I head down to sunny Richmond Hill, to pick up Excalibur.
Excalibur being Focus Is Art's 2000 ZX3.
It's being dollied home on the back of my Escape, where much merry-making and excitement await in the land of Olde North Baye.
Pics to come from the trip down and back.
Do note I will be making many requests for assistance to save my sanity as I embark down the Path of the Zetec Warrior.
It's good to be home.
This will be a fun car for me, I can already tell. Also, once I get it home and take stock of the situation, I'll be looking for people to raid their parts stashes as I keep working on the car.
I promised F.I.A. I'd keep it going and "finish" it. I intend to be true to my word.
And no, Bryan, no Nightshit. You're welcome.

Update - UHaul in North Bay are a bunch of overdue for retirement idiots. Some guy was in at 8AM to rent a trailer. Idiots behind the counter didn't supervise and he left with my DOLLY! GRRR.
"I should have kept an eye on him" - UHaul clerk. YA THINK!?!?!
Supposedly he's staying local and he only needs it for a couple of hours. If they don't have it back by 12, they're renting it to me tomorrow - or death. It's that simple.
I'm staying in contact with F.I.A. via texts and email till I leave.
Not happy!
EDIT - thanks for the comments fellas. Yeah, I'll likely build up a second block with Oscar's Dad's help - he rebuilds engines by trade. For now, NA till I get a better handle on it and can paint a clearer picture.

I wonder if he changed the tune on the Escape to compensate for towing?

So it's home and on the ground, thanks to Oscar coming over @ 10:30PM to spot for me as I eased it off the dolly!
Man is it ever low. Love it
Stan, she's gone to a good, Ford-loving home
Can't wait to re-plate her and get rolling. I did get to drive it briefly before we loaded it. I'm a lucky bastard.
Stan rocks guys. Let's keep him motivated as he's already confessed to me that he wants another.
And I saw the ass shot last night.
Also, OEM tune for the tow. The Escape towed like a champ. Burned just over 1/2 tank on the way down and 3/4 on the way back, pushing it to hold 100 KM/H all the way home. It did in 4th with lockup for the straight stretches easy. I was quite impressed.
