I have this friend, who is a Mustang guy, talked me into buying a 1999 GT for 800 dollars. I was told the only problem with the car was a a knock that came from the valve train. I have always been a truck guy, never much into cars, but i thought that this was a good deal. I picked up the car today, its a beautiful candy apple red, with only a tiny scratch on the drivers side. The interior is in pretty good shape, from the outside in, it looks like a steal. After starting the car we relized that I had a huge problem. From the sounds of it I think it has a bad rod bearing. So here I am, a truck guy looking at a 4.6 I have to rebuild while living in Germany. $hit. Never mind the fact that my mustang buddy is PCS'ing back to the states next month. I have no ides where to begin except from the bottom up. I am not looking to make it a drag car. I want it to be my hot rod for the rest of my life, so I want to do it right. Any advice?
PS Dont take the Bowtie handle as a slam, I have 2 Chevy trucks (88 Suburban and a 76 C-10 limited edition, but to stay level, I bought a 93 Bronco)
