Okay, i know i put the car up for sale a couple days ago, heres why :nonono:
I decided i should work on the car on a day that it was 105* outside, and living off 4 hrs of sleep (and then working 10 hours), so, i "decided" to break the famous ashtray door, and then when i was replacing the winshield molding clips (broke a few clips the day before), i was tapping them in VERY carefully w/ a rubber mallet and it slipped and hit the windshield, causing a crack to start :(

Next day:
Decided (for no apparent reason) to take the ENTIRE dash apart (gauge cluster, dash board, center console, CD player, a/c controls, etc)....why i did this, dont ask....after putting it back together (another 100* day, this time i was in teh garage), i ended up with 5 extra screws and one extra electrical connection (umm...WTF!!)

I literally started YELLING at the car, calling it a #$%$# and $%$#$%$ (use your imagination)

Moral of my crappy story:
Just b/c a car pisses you off a few times (or a million times in my case, lol), thats no reason to sell it.....hell, i have literally HUNDREDS of hours in my car, fixing/replacing/customizing....lets review :rolleyes:
-Took out front seats 3 times
-Took out back seats 3 times (this time i'm building a RSD, damnit) :rlaugh:
-taken out gauge cluster to fix that fcking bouncy speedo 3-4 times
-Taken out center console 10+ times :nonono: (getting e-brake boot to fit perfect/had to take out to install shifter/etc)
-taken off MAF/TB/ and Tubing a few times (well, its really easy, so thats no big deal)
-Put in new upper and lower control arms :banana:
-Have had THREE sets of rims/tires on in the 2 months i've owned it
-Fabbed up map-pocket delete (super easy)
-Spent gobs of money on resto-parts :shrug:
All of this was in HOT black interior :owned:

I know this car in and out, and getting diff. car i dont know what kind of crap i'll run into :notnice:

I dont know why i decided to make a thread on this, but now i'm back to being happy with my car and a new hood shall be on the way soon (and windshield :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: )
 
oh ya, i've re-painted all the trim pieces and alot of the interior pieces too....looks pretty snazzy if you ask me :D

ALSO:
Michael Johnson
Associate Editor
5.0 Mustang and Super Fords

Emailed me and told me to give him a call with more details about my car :flag: :flag:
 
Sweet man glad to hear your keepin her, sorry for my lowball lol. Sweet that 5.0 contacted you, how did they find you?

Got more pics of it, interior motor, exterior, past rims? I really like that thing.

When did you get rid of your 94 or was it 95? Sorry for being out of the loop.
 
Suck it up, ya big baby! ;)

You'll put hundreds more hours into the car and still get mad about stupid stuff that goes wrong. Just keep your head straight and realize what it's all about. If I put my car up for sale every time it pissed me off, it'd be long gone. I have people lining up waiting for a chance at it, but I don't ever see it actually happening :)

BTW, Mike Johnson is the man!

Dewitt is less than 20 miles from my house :nice: , you should have came to the car show on saturday at northpark, lots of fun

I actually met up with "mustangramair" on here and 5-6 guys from svtperformance.com

BTW-how'd you lose your license
 
Glad your keeping it. Good luck with the mag. And like mansonozz If i posted my car up everytime it pissed me off it would always be for sale and probably gone cause the guy I bought it off of wants it back he has asked me a couple times to sell it back to him.
