$500 to have the frame straightened if it needs it, $100 just to have it checked, that seems excessive for a 4cyl car that is not worth much more than $500 IMO.
I have lost motivation for this car, plus no free time now, kids are starting football today so any work that I could do would take me probably 12mths to finish, ie swapping over to a new car....full time job plus a side job and the family, leaves no time at all.
SO, I am looking at possibly selling the parts needed for the LS swap, if someone want everything and wanted to do the work I could make them a sweet offer. heck, we can even talk about just taking the whole car and me not touching it.
I do plan on keeping at least the motor unless someone wants to pay me for what I have in it ($4200), otherwise I am going to keep and put in my C10 eventually.
These parts vary in useage, some are brand fucking new and some have less than 200 miles, some i bought used. (deisgnated by how I bought them)
AJE K-member (new)
CC plates (used)
spring perches (not needed if you have coil overs but they are here) (New)
Dynatech Headers (new) O2 bungs on the outside
Exhaust-full 3" with X pipe and O2 bung in line (new)
Tailpipes (flowmaster used)
UMI Rear suspension (NEW-uppers are on car and have 2.5 passes on them) this includes UCAs and LCAs, plus the torq box plates
8.8 Rear (used)
TA Cover (new)
31 spline diff (used)
8.8 Diff Rebuild kit/RP fluid (new)
Moser 8.8 axles (used) 4 lug
A-arms (used)
QA1 Coil overs w/spring (needs rebuilding-NAAKE $160ish)
Stock Rear springs (used)
UPR Bump Steer Kit (NIB) ordered WED before hitting wall
UPR 8.8 Solid Bushings (NIB) ordered WED before hitting wall
TRE Performance Fuel Pump/stock tank (FP new and will give you the tank)
Pony/ET Streets (used)
SC Saleen (2) 17x10 (4)17x9-USED; 4 lug black faced, polished lip. 10s have 275s on there that can be used for a few miles, fronts are gone.
This all can be had for $3k; I have over $3700 in those parts, doesnt include the nick nack stuff that can be had below
if you wanted to just take the whole car as a roller and I only have to pull the motor/trans out you would get:
Cobra R hood painted RED
Fbody fans/radiator/hoses to mate to LS swap
decent 4cyl blue/grey interior
5" tach/Oil Pressure/Water temp gauge in center vent
decent front fender and doors
all glass in good shape
brand new battery
radio and speakers
sub frame connectors welded in
fuel lines with filter/reg set up
7.5 rear with 3.73s
and I dont know what else
probably could let all that go for another $500.
If you want the Cooks built TH350 and Cameron's '3500' Nitrous stall we can discuss that too. its a long tailshaft and i am using the stock mustang DS with it.
This set up would be FAST, if you care, it went 7.5 @ 95 2nd pass ever with a 1.77 and it was tapping the rev limiter on each shift in 3600' DA, if you believe in weather making a huge difference (I do) then with more seat time and better air this car could go LOW 7s if not 6.9s on motor and the motor is not fancy at all. Junkyard 6.0, Livernois Stage 3 heads with FAST 90/Accufab 90, TSP Torquer 2 cam. it was spinning so I know there is more in the 60'.
discuss if you want.....
