I understand the whole money issue, but dont put all that effort into a car, and paint over a bunch of rust. Cut that crap out, get a new quarter in there, and thank yourself down the road. Also, for the intake, you can get aluminum engine paint that looks pretty good. I did upper, lower and valve covers with it, Turned out pretty nice.
My car has the IRS in it too, If you have the skills to do the work you have done, you can swap one in also.

i loveeeee it Attachments
thats a change from all the smoke that got blown up my ass with the you payed to much for a auto vert with some rust!
I don't want to sound like some of the other people who commented in your first post but I can't help but mention that I could buy a running fox 5.0 in better shape at the junk yard for $700.00. My vette is in WAY better shape and I only payed 2k for it. I also highly doubt that any 4cyl vert (no matter how good of a shape it is in) goes for anywhere near $3,200 regardless of where you live. I've seen 4cyl foxes with no rust go for as low as $200.00 at police auctions and junkyards in my area .
Here are some examples of stangs in YOUR state

Cookies should never be DUNKED!!!
put some tire wet on the intake tube and the upper rad hose and all the other rubber components under there, it will make a world of difference

its really hit or miss with prices for 5liter cars in mass. i have seen ****boxes go for rediculous prices but yet i have had some one look me dead in the face and tell me iam crazy for asking 7500 firm for my car which is a ROCK SOLID rust free lx with a mint stock interior (map light, ash tray door still work) a worked over h/c/i dss 306 with complete tubular front and rear suspension and baer 4 wheel disk brake five lug swap. i think that car is right about where the market is for most regions. especially rust belt regions that its hard to find a car with floorboards for most cars over 16 years.
i know you didint.. i was saying thats change from everyone telling me i paid to much......
see what i mean? im a very confussing person
id pay that much for it...
engine you have what at the least 4k into?
rest of drivetrain antoher 2K or so? theres 6k into it..plus nice paint/interior...no rust..
i like your LX
yeah i know...it was right after i spryed it...so it dose look werid..but since the intake is that color it dont look bad installed...
something better always comes up once you spend your money. ask me how i know......
either way he might have paid a little more than he should have for it.....but he has it now and hes too deep into it to change his mind. Hes learning **** by doing it himself. Hes doing better than I am. I can wait to get rid of mine......I still have that 5spd setup, ryan
