Don't you love how her car becomes your job?
My team leader at work has similar issues with one of his sons.

Is the 'stang totalled? My Uncle is in Alaska, but my Aunt said she remembers the harness being replaced. When he gets to a signal she will ask.

Yeah man, I'm afraid so. '87 5.0 GT. It needed paint, but it was all there One or two tiny rust spots on the hatch. Coulda been a classic in another model year. I think I'm more heartbroken than she was.

T-boned, at the left front fender, and the door. The A pillar took a good whack (good enough to crack the windshield), and the hit took out the upper ball joint, so it came home on wrecker. I had just gotten done dumping a shitload of new parts in it too; brakes, water pump, tires, it even had Flowmasters on it. Nice little Fox Body. Sniff.

I've been looking for maybe another shell to drop everything into...breaks my fucking heart, although I myself am responsible for sending my share of classics to the boneyard (but who knew back then?). If I knew some of those rusty old shitbuckets would be worth all that today, I'd have held on to them. Now you can buy replacement panels for fucking everything, and those old shitbuckets are worth more than I paid for my first house.

Who knew?

Thanks, bro. Like I said, I have a minute. I'm gonna take my time. I'm in no hurry to tear into that plastic POS.

What I really wanna do is trade it for a 68-72. Something with ZERO computers in it. Motor, trans, rear, seats, and a wheel. A real car.

I miss that shit. Fucking cars today, you open the hood, you can't even see the fucking motor.

Alright, enough...I sound like the get outta my yard guy...

Find a four cylinder and swap that stuff over! Or if you wanna make some money and are not in a hurry, part that Mustang out on Corral forum and get some of that back.


Here are a few in Jersey...

Well, this one's #3. She wrecks this, I'm getting her a bicycle.
