Hi, newbie here.
Saw an FD first time auto show 1993, thought it was so cool. Priced them the next day, picked up my first 1993 FD Touring days later. Was a daily driver. Stolen in 1996 I was ok without one for 10 years, then saw one on street in 2006, same reaction as at auto show, I gottta get that car. Found my same model year 93 FD Touring in MontBlue on ebay with 35K miles , drove it home and other than driving it 1K miles first few months, it has sat in garage up to 2 years at a time past 7 years. I've been afraid to park on street and have it stolen.

Finally I get an ultimatum from my wife, use it or get rid of it. A friend said no way you want to crank it with oil sitting for 2-3 years. So after purchases of lift, racks and some tools, I changed oil and filter on a car last night for first time in my 55 life. (did my research here on the oil and getting car up, rather than post away). I put in new battery. I tried to siphon gas, that tasted like sh.. Started her this morning, cranked right up. Some electrical issues, I'll research it on here for a while before asking you guys.

Nice to see there is a group like this, thanks to you all.
