LOL!! Indeed!!
Thank you but, I actually have a nice, beautiful new heads... Ported, polished... PURTY! THANK YOU Mr. car thief!!
He's actually going to PRISON for a LOOOONG time! **shakes head** See for me, it just doesn't seem worth it. But guess it was for him! **shrugs** Also, he is going to be stuck paying me back... it's probably going to take decades but, he will have to do it!!
So but yeah... that would be a fitting punishment because I need the get the rear end back in the thing so I can at least have a rolling chassis!!
Thanks for the Alt... that I am going to buy new because I had a problem with the alternator/battery for a while. What finally solved it was new battery, new alternator. So yeah... I don't wanna have to go through that mess again. So I will fork out a little extra for a brand new one.
I thought about that but there is a Mustang junkyard in Miami. I can get everything I need at a good price and I won't have to haul anything away when I am done.
I did a couple of pages back... I also have a few before and now in the garage. BUT, here ya go:
Oh man... I can't look.

im sad to say it but you are probably better off buying another car and using whatever good parts are left from yours and selling all the left over parts

agreed my other car had waaaay more sentimental value, it was my first mustang and it was manufactured on my birthday exactly 06/03/88 but even that didnt stop me from making an intelligent choice of getting a different roller
Nope!! The detective is still working on that. They are long gone so there is nothing that can really be done about them now. I just with the OTHER detective would have grown a pair and siezed them till it got straightened out. **sigh**
Probably... But I am getting some help by a local Mustang club. I have faith in them... they have done this before and I am quite sure they can do it again.
That would be the worst thing I could possibly do. It isn't THAT bad that it cannot be put back together. I have had several people tell me that... so there is HOPE. If it was crashed, and in the same condition, then I would agree with you. The worst thing about it is the trunk needs to be re-welded. The rest is all parts. I have all the body panels, the frame is straight, what else do ya need??
All I need to make it a roller is springs and upper and lower control arms. I have the rear end. SO with less than $500.00 it is back on it's own feet. Also, TONS of folks are cutting me discounts, hooking me up, you NAME it!! I am very blessed! I ALSO will be slapping a K-Member in there, doing a full suspension upgrade, getting a BRAND NEW engine, I already have a set of beautiful alum heads... SO if ya thing about it, I am already on my way. I just need the extra cash.. which I am working on.
Yeah, I could do that... I could walk away and start over again... but that would be too easy. Then I would be doing the same upgrades and who knows how long the engine on the next car would last me. This will be one GREAT experience for me... it's a total cliche but nothing worth while is ever easy. When it is done, the car is going to be SMOKIN! AND it will have 0 Miles!!
Fortunately, there ARE multiple people. So I don't think it'll take that long. Only time will tell!!
Also, if the parts are there, it won't take long at all. Back in the day... my Dad and his friend used to tear apart cars (new engine, new rear end, new transmission) and put them back together in one night... so I know it can be done. It just takes someone that knows that they are doing.
I gotta try... that's all I have left man!! I do feel like that... but I also feel that bringing it back better than it was before it was taken, will be the GREATEST feeling in the world!! I know for sure the first time I start it up, I am going to have a smile from EAR to EAR!! You are right, it won't be the same... it's gonna be NICER, so it will make all of this baloney absoultely WORTH IT! If it all goes down the drain, then at least I tried... I won't be sitting there when I am 90 crapping my pants wondering "what if" because I will know.
Through this whole experience, I have made some REALLY wonderful friends. I have a whole club of folks PUSHING me forward; encouraging me, telling me I can do it... and I BELIEVE.
