I made it to see the car last night at the dealership. The car is safe, I'm relieved. It's going to take a couple days to get the deal done since I didn't have 11k sitting around after just buying a second marauder this summer, but he bank said the check is in mail. The owners of the dealership are nice enough to let me start working on the car to make sure I could drive it home early next week.

So far here is whats been done:

The dealership put a new Motorcraft battery in it to get it on their trailer.

The first thing I did was buy an alternator, but after closer inspection, I might not need it. RoyLPita told me to check the alternator extension splices and sure enough the wire broke clean off in my hand.

I also checked the passenger side rear window, and it's in the door, so I don't need to get a window, I'll just have to check wiring and possibly change the regulator.


That's it for now, I'm getting what I need together to go fix the wire to get the car home.
