Hello all,

 

Picked up my 2013 FFH Titanium yesterday in Bordeaux Reserve from Planet Ford in Spring, TX.

 

I look forward to seeing all the tinkering other members do and hope to add a few tips and suggestions of my own.

 

I am also a member at the XL Forums for Harley Davidson sportster motorcycles. I am soon to be a member with The Ranger Station.

 

I have a 2012 H-D XL883N Iron that I have since converted to a HP/Torque monster with a 1250 cylinder/piston kit, high lift cams, and ported heads. I plan to do a Volkswagen common rail TDI engine transplant into my 4x4 Bronco II to make a fuel efficient highway/offroad machine.

 

I gave up a 2008 Chevy Silverado for this Fusion since I no longer needed the cargo capacity as much as I used to. All my vehicles are technical exercises for me to gain experience with engine and system designs and it was time to learn the Hybrid system.

 

Looking forward to contributing.

 

Pictures forthcoming after I learn the forum posting rules.

I don't see rules for posting photos (using Photobucket or something), so here's a photo of the car and my Sportster.

 

Car's name is Fuzzi (after Kuzzi), bike's name was Zooey before the engine conversion, but is currently nameless due to the completely different nature it has now with the added power.

Welcome to the forum congrats on the new 4 wheeler. Awesome 2 wheels you got there!

 

BTW be carful with using thumbnails you are going to run out of memory; at lot of people here use either Photobucket, Google+ or Facebook to host the pics and just copy the picture link into a post.

Thanks for the heads up. I normally use photobucket to drop in photos, but I did not see any forum rules regarding that. All my other forums require linking to photobucket, but they specifically say that from the get-go.

You should check out the HD talking forum. Lots of great info there. Congrats on your purchase.

Hi and welcome, Here is a thread on posting help.

I can fit it all in the garage now.

 

[acdii]

If Ford made a Bike you would have the perfect garage! :)

[corncobs]

At least it's All American!

My garage has some Japanese influence but only 20%.

Mine is all Ford unless I park my Kubota in there. I do have a starter to a 1976 Mazda 808 in my toolbox though.

For me, that's funny what you said about your Kubota. My BX24 Kubota is the only vehicle with 4 wheels on my farm that is in a garage!! No garage for any cars or horse trailers but the Kubota is covered at all times!!

My B2410, X500 JD and Horse trailer are ll in the barn, my 2010 Fusion, a car port! LOL

[Aquineas]

lol you guys garaging your tractors but not your cars are funny. To each his/her own, I suppose :-).

[acdii]

OK, Pics tomorrow! LOL I had pulled out the trailer a couple weeks ago, so its still outside.

[kuzzi]

Just gonna drop this in here so I don't pollute other threads. Loving the bike FFH and the new heavy equipment.

 

[kuzzi]

So I bought this 1999 VW Golf TDI so I can use the innards for another project.

Only had 125k miles on it but engine wouldnt turn over. Got it for $1750.

 

After playing with it for 15 minutes and checking relays, it now sits in my garage with a perfectly working drivetrain.

 

I think I have a vehicle problem......

Lemme call the producer of Hoarders! ;)

I would say so, poor Fusion stuck outside, and the beaters get all the love of a garage. :)

I wouldn't consider it love in that garage. Sparks fly on the daily with the grinder and dust goes everwhere. I have to blow out the soot and metal shavings weekly. My matte black bike used to be chrome! Haha

My garage is a wreck. 4 car garage that holds 3, my Fusion is in a car port. Hoping next spring to get it cleared out and organized. I have this huge heavy sliding door that I have to install on my front porch and turn it into a foyer. We just have too much JUNK!
