ORIGINAL: Eclipzed
I dont wanna be, I'm growing on this car, and loving it more and more... But i'm only a 19 year old working at a gas station, trying to save money (and have reliable transportation) to work and home.
I'm wanting to find someone who can love her like I do, and maybe even restore her. Its something she diserves.
I really wanna keep her, but I have a list.
Engine (Swap to 302 V8, Fix, or Replace) Up to $3,000
Trannsmittion (Swap to Manuel, Or Replace) $3,000
Shocks (Replace) around $800
Brakes (Replace) around $400
Tires (Replace) around $500
I dont have that kind of money. I wish I did. But I dont.
I dont wanna be a puss. I love these Mustang II's.
Maybe when I get older and richer, I'll buy one agian, cept I'll get a King Cobra or something, something worth dropping money into. you know?
Engine - Better figure up to $4K for good quality "stuff"
Transmission - $2,000 - friend of mine just swapped to a T-5 in his, 2K - tops
Shocks - DO IT YOURSELF - $120....out the door!
Brakes - just completed mine - NEW CALIPERS/DISCS in front, NEW DRUMS/SHOES in rear $225!
Tires - Original 13" style tires....$250, mounted and balanced!!!!
$6595 - FOR ALL NEW STUFF!!! Used will get you out the door saving a few thousand.
Your $7700 estimate is steep, but the $6600 isn't anything to sneeze at either. If you go used engine and tranny, you could prolly skate by with about 3K to 3.5K!
