When did I write that stuff?........In 2018?
I probably made that comment after you sold off the first fox, but before you waited until you couldn't stand it it any longer,....

Then.......bought some Chrysler tuna boat,...quickly came to terms that you preferred a me-too ford instead, bought 2011 belly button, did a this, did a that,.. Cut up the hood, slammed it up against a curb, sold that, bought a box ranger...bought the wrong transmission,...Fed the radiator to an aluminum flex fan (because you needed clarification on what a " flex fan" was). Sold that, bought the current car,...stated that you intended to keep it close to stock,...bought a 5 lug this, bought a 347 that,..overtightened the rocker arms...pissed and moaned about how you shoulda kept it stock, finally got it running, cut off the bumper, grafted on a a 15 year newer one..then goes out and buys a 100 year old house in the middle of a corn field...that needs a little TLC...fixed a this, sheet rocked a that...

Don't blame me if I mis-read your personality type.

Looks like I'm about to go all in but it's totally the opposite.

My 2 year window has expired and the wife has shut me down. My son is getting his AA in college so he's not interested in the project anymore.

Instead of trying to sell the car and get nothing I decided to part it out instead. Figured this car can get other 94-95's back on the road.

I thought it would take years before I'd sniff getting my money back. In 2 weeks I sold enough parts to get my purchase price back and I still have a lot of parts to go, big stuff too.

I wasn't selling the motor but I sold this dude the entire wiring harness (his 94 is carb, going back to FI) and he wanted the motor. He's like I'll take the motor and tranny out in an hour right where it sits. Dude came over last night, we did exactly that in an hour. He bought both the short block and trans.

I'm back on the GT500 plan and whatever I make will be my down payment as I'm not trading anything in. Not a new GT500, a very low mileage 2010-2012. I'd really like to get a 2013-14 but who know's.

Here is the latest parts list. https://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/pts/d/boca-raton-mustang-parting-out-entire/7078859164.html

Some interior parts left. The door panels, instrument cluster, shifter bezel with leather shift knob are the only items that have been sold I believe.

Have lots of suspension parts remaining including a fully intacted rear end. I thought for sure a Fox body guy would show up for this, great 5-lug plug and play conversion. A Fox body dude snatched up the front spindles but he already had the rear end.

Going to start putting the smalls on eBay since I am on week 3. Most of the big items (other than the rear and suspensions parts) have been sold.

I have the hold down block with long bolt and I have all 3 tray bolts (8MM sides, the long one at the bottom) that come with it. I negotiate with everyone.
