    Spring detail and photoshoot

    I would say its the absolute perfect stance. Get some scraping over speedbumps but I love it.

    Spring detail and photoshoot

    Looking very good. Your car is like a nicer/cleaner, silver sibling of mine :nice: In fact, I'm pretty sure it was your car that finalized my decision to go with H&R supersports with no front isos. Perfect stance.

    F*****g hail

    Well I was born and raised there, so I love the place and miss it incredibly. Unfortunately, not many aerospace companies are there. Anyway, the car is in the body shop and the shop owner said it should take about a week. I'm kind of surprised he said it would only take that long as I'm sure...

    F*****g hail

    Yeah I'm dropping it off at the shop today to get all the body work fixed. Haha, I need to change my location. I don't live in Austin anymore, nor would I ever have the money to or want to live in a condo there (I used to work at the front desk of a condominium complex there) . I'm in...

    F*****g hail

    Insurance adjuster quoted me about $3200 for repairs. I'm taking it into the body shop next Thursday so we'll see what their quote is. Could hope for a little left over money, but I'm assuming that won't be the case. I am going to see if they can knock out 1 or 2 dents that are on the driver...

    F*****g hail

    You are correct. Obviously, with the money, the idea went through my head. But yes, I would rather have a good looking car again. Might have to look into the cost of a covered parking spot at the apartment since this is just the beginning of crazy weather season.

    F*****g hail

    So my insurance agent came out today. His initial estimate is about $2500 for repairs. So the question is... Do I get my windshield fixed and use the money towards something besides body work? Or do I get it repaired back to original condition? If I get the full repair job done, it will...

    F*****g hail

    Haha I was waiting for someone to bring that up. Yes you are correct. I sort of had a realization that if I'm going to continue dumping money into a car, I might as well be dumping it into the one that I really want. Don't get me wrong, I love this car to death, but I spend like 5 out of 7 days...

    F*****g hail

    Damn. Yeah, hail sucks. Doubt I'll get any new body panels, it was really the only roof that was dented and then the obvious front windshield and cowl. The other thing that sucks is that I was going to take some pictures this week to put the car up on craigslist because I'm planning on saving...

    F*****g hail

    Yeah I know. I'm in Lewisville, so most of it passed a little south of where I'm at. Definitely give my condolences to the people that lost their homes, can't imagine that feeling. But since its a stang forum, figured I'd share my frustration. The worst part is that I was going to drive it to...

    Thinking about coming back to classics

    Yeah I'm probably going to be pretty bummed during the time I don't have a mustang to work on. But it'll definitely be worth it in the long run.

    Thinking about coming back to classics

    Yeah I understand. I forgot to mention I have a 95 Camry with about 80k miles on it as my daily driver. If I keep the '99 I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off it as far as modding goes so I'd rather put that money towards a classic instead. But the camry gives me 32 MPG and is pretty darn...

    or perhaps a Green/Black Hornet clone

    Thinking about coming back to classics

    [Warning: long post, probably boring. Sorry :D ] So when I was 14 years old my dad and I began the restoration of a 1966 mustang I6. Thanks to this forum I learned absolutely everything I needed to know to go through it. Well when I went away to college I decided to (regrettably) sell the ol'...

    Doing springs and lower control arms soon.

    No spring compressor required. Just gotta jack the car up and unbolt enough stuff on the control arm to be able to push down on it with your foot and pop the spring out. (referring to the front...the spring shouldn't shoot out once the control arm is lowered. It shouldn't come out if its under...

    Thanks, I'm actually up in the Dallas area now since I've graduated and started working. I've located a place near me up here that I'll probably try out. Thanks though!

    Lucky. I'll bid on some cobra skirts on ebay every once and a while and then they jump up to $400. Some day when I'm feeling good on money and plan on getting the car repainted I'll pick some up. I definitely try to keep an eye out on craigslist should some come up for a killer deal. No luck so...
