Well it's a little too late for that. We've already switched titles and all. But I don't think the car is as bad as you all make it out to be. Don't get me wrong, I totally see your points being that the car is damn near perfect (except the front end being out of alignment from a front end collision). I mean I look at it is this way. The new ride already has all the expensiveness out of the way, i.e. motor work, suspension, etc. I'm going to redo the entire interior, It still has the lines for AC and power steering, just needs pump and compressor, maybe a couple other things. Paint and window tint later on down the road and I'm set. When I'm done she'll be clean. Tomorrow when I get her I'll start an interior progress thread.
also, i cant' figure out for the life of me, is there any way at all to find out all the threads that I've posted in, without manually searching the thread in search??? There's gotta be an easier way for this!
Shaolin the question isn't "have I ever restored a car the right way," it's "have I ever even attempted to restore a car." There's a little that I know, and a lot that I don't. These mustangs are hobbies, and I'm learning as I go along. I spend my nights reading and learning. I have technically picked up the car, it's in the shop getting some flywheel pressure plate crap done to it. It's his bud that has the shop, so we agreed that I just keep my car until that's said and done. Yes, I technically still could back out, but I don't think I really want to. I'll post pics when I get the car back tomorrow, some good ones, and let me know what you think.
And what makes you think corners were cut with the pic of that engine?
Wow dude! I have a dollar, wanna trade me for a $50 bill? I've done quite a bit of trading in my day, but I've always traded UP. Your blue car looks really straight. If you have ANY chance of going back on this deal, please do everything in your power to stop it from happening. If not, I'll be looking for your "OMG HELP" threads over in the tech section...

I got the car tonight. runs amazing, but I only had the time from picking it up, to driving to work. I work nights so I didn't get any time to feel her out, although i kept staring outside at her. I think she's awesome. I'm not looking to restore her. The only car I think I would take the time to restore would be a chevelle. I trade cars constantly, so I honestly don't even think i'll keep her that long. I don't think she looks like **** either. I love working on a car. I don't really care about the face value, or how perfect she is. I want something to leave marks on streets and kill ls1's. I don't know if this car can kill an ls1 yet, but i'll know eventually. none of us can assume otherwise until I make a posting on what happens. It's not a daily driver, and honestly I don't really care if it is worth half of the other car. When it comes down to it, do I want comfort and perfection, or a classic feeling hotrod that hauls ass. I'll take the second. I'll have pictures up tomorrow afternoon
post pics of the new car, and videos of your first LS1 kill... i gotta feeling you just got hosed, i wouldnt trade my 97 saturn woods car for a fox with a truck motor swap. just saying. but hey to each his own. annnd, good luck beating LS1's...
BTW the 351 IS a 302 with a taller deck height.
