    If you do get her running.. check these 2 things out:
    Head Gasket
    Transmission

    Windstars are notorious for these 2 fails. So if you do get her running be sure you check those out before dropping any other $ into it!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    ya will do. engine bay looks pretty clean and looks like someone been taking care of it. don't mind spending little money on it. but i don't want to spend a lot on it either.
    if thats the case it will just go to the scrap yard then.
