I would say fix and paint yours... But hey I am trying to trade mine for a 68 FB rust bucket that hasnt ran in 22 years. So I guess I am the wrong one to ask.

maybe it not being tuned is why youre running 13.8s... the car should be a low 13 to mid 12 car, IMHO... i would personally put the new mounts it, i think on corral you can send in your tranny + a few bucks to have your tremec upgraded... i couldve sworn i just saw a post about it..

also if im not mistaken, 4.6 motor is more expensive to mod than a 5.0... parts are easier to come by for our cars...

again thats just me, but i think your car has plenty of potential from teh list that you provided... good lucK!

Im with Infiniti, fix your problems slowly and your car sounds like it would be a pretty decent runner. I personally think modding at 4.6 would suck, but Im not huge on the overhead cam style engines. I prefer simplicity, that or Im just lazy.

if your looking for a headache free fun ride then i'd say trade but if you want something you can tinker with i'd say keep the 95

 

[95BlueStallion]

Well and something else that just crossed my mind was the mileage you said the 4.6 had. You can bet that it is going to need the proper preventative maintenance done as well, so I think you will be doing repairs either way. Probably wont be as drastic as your current car, but with 109K on the clock I would think a good tune up is in order unless the previous owner stayed on top of it.

Trade it. Move on...the fresh car will give you a new outlook, do it while youcan
