Progress Thread Dsg Mach's Mustang

Well the idle problem is not important at the moment. The valve on the cylinder the shop worked on dropped and destroyed the piston. Shop refuses to do anything for me bc I worked on the car. I'm upset with myself for not taking it back but I lost faith in them when they said it sounded normal when the rocker was broken.

I pretty much dumped $1,300 on my credit card for nothing. I'm going to try and pull the motor and figure out if its worth saving. I thought about just looking for a new motor but I have to save up a lot of money. Its going to sit for a good while. Unless I pay off my 401k loan and then take out another loan. Or I can sell my guns but I don't want to.

I've never pulled an engine before. My best friend is a Mustang nut but he works 55+ hours a week so I don't know if he can help me. The shop wants $1,300 to pull the motor. I'm never going back to them again.

Well the motor dropped a valve and destroyed the piston. I sold the car and used the money to buy a car from my parents. Its nothing special. I have some money saved and I want to get to $5000 and look for another Mustang preferably a 1988-2004 with a V8. Foxes seem over priced so a 1996-98 GT would be nice.

Here's the car I'm driving. At least its manual.

Yeah it sucks not having a fun car. My Jetta is really slow. I just need to save up and I will get another Mustang... Would like a Fox but they seem pricey. 96-04 Mustangs seem to be reasonable I just dont want a ragged out one.I do miss hearing a V8 with an x pipe though.
