LMAO! Keith your priceless...Hey man sorry again about not bringing the hoist back in a timely fashion. We were kinda on a timely basis so they could only help work on it when they got out of class so that's why it took so long. I appreciate you letting me use it though.

[93mustank]

[93mustank]

motor looks fine to me....coolant is in the cylinder because you pulled the heads off.... So now why does it not run? .....no power steering and no brakes? why?

[OH3MGSVT]

Well yeah the only thing that was really wrong with it was the intake manifold leaking and the head gasket. But in the process of putting it back together the power steering is ****ed up, and I have no idea why the brakes aren't working. The power steering pulley shakes quite a bit while idling too...found out when I got home one of the hoses was loose but theres no way to hook it back onto the manifold because the nipple broke off..Just tired of dealing with this car and need something for a good DD and wont decide to leak everywhere.

[AZSonicSnake]

ouch...that looks like a ton of work. silly kids...

[04WhininCobra]

[OH3MGSVT]

I have a 2004 Competiton Orange Mustang GT for sale with black cobra wheels, 17x9 in front with nitto 555 extremes and 17x10.5 in the rear on nitto 555 DR. 3.73 gears, steeda short throw, and a few other things.

Thanks for the offer, but for that price I would rather buy a Mach 1

[93mustank]

ill give you 2000 for your vert

[OH3MGSVT]

lol I hate you

[Rev'n Kevin]

I feel for you brother, if you decide to part it out, I'd be interested in your wheels.

[OH3MGSVT]

I feel for you brother, if you decide to part it out, I'd be interested in your wheels.
thanks, I will let you know what I decide to do

[04WhininCobra]

Thanks for the offer, but for that price I would rather buy a Mach 1

well if you do decide to buy something how much are you looking to spend?

[OH3MGSVT]

I would like something close to what I was paying for my Gt, so Im guessing around 17k or so?

[04WhininCobra]

I would like something close to what I was paying for my Gt, so Im guessing around 17k or so?

well if you are actually interested in my car that i want to sell it for 16,500

[OH3MGSVT]

I'll let you know

[TruBluScreamer]

Well thats some nasty stuff..... but whataya gonna do?? Apparently it was time for her to retire. But keep us posted if you decide to part it out im always lookin to help a brotha out!!

[04WhininCobra]

I'll let you know

Alright cool.

[OH3MGSVT]

Well thats some nasty stuff..... but whataya gonna do?? Apparently it was time for her to retire. But keep us posted if you decide to part it out im always lookin to help a brotha out!!

Thanks man yeah Im going to have to start lookin at cars I might want to get to replace her with. Mainly now I want to get a Mach 1, but I also might get a foxbody or maybe even like an 04 GTO or something...but regardless I'll probably part out the saleens, the exhaust, and the shifter but I will keep you all updated on what I go ahead and do.

[wickedcobra]

A GTO? What are you gonna do that for? Come on man, just get your self a Termi and be done with it.

[OH3MGSVT]

A GTO? What are you gonna do that for? Come on man, just get your self a Termi and be done with it.

I really really REALLY want a Termi but they are just still too expensive, I mean if I could find one for like $19,000 or something then I might be able to pull it off but I can't afford one unfortunatley. GTO's are going for soo cheap right now I just saw one for like $16k and it was a 6 speed with like 30K miles. But if you see any dirt cheap cobras let me know!

[chewbaccajones]

You can find a terminator for 19 or so. It may have 60k+ miles and may have to take a road trip to get it but you can find one for that.

[OH3MGSVT]

Well yeah probably but that is a lot of miles for a supercharged mod motor. I don't want to run into the same problem a couple months down the road and have a hurt car and not be able to drive anywhere. I would rather have a reasonably priced mach or 99/01 cobra or something of that nature with pretty low miles so it will last me a while

[wickedcobra]

Stay with the FORD, if you get a GTO we may have to vote you off the island....LOL

[OH3MGSVT]

Stay with the FORD, if you get a GTO we may have to vote you off the island....LOL
lol thanks. but yeah im leaning more or less towards a mach so no worries about me leaving the blue circle...the goat would be a last resort

[IMSHAKN]

If you are serious about looking for mach's, check out the for sale section of the Mach 1 Registry. You will find many for sale there in good condition and reasonably priced. Just expect to have to drive.

...well, never mind that...I just saw that you made a post over there. :woot1:

[Ruckus46gt]

not going to lie there are some well priced ss and trans ams out there right now


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/luvg0des/darksidecookie.jpg

[OH3MGSVT]

lol damn it ruckus...yeah that is true about the f bodies. But I just found out today that my dad's friend knows a mechanic that does good work and can get it back to the way it was running and let me make payments on it! which would come in handy. Also They could also put in a new crate motor if I wanted and again make payments on it...do I smell a 4v swap coming?

[93mustank]

I smell another thread saying "looking to buy a corvette"......Stop messing with people and leading them on. Actually post something thats real world....not something you dreamed about last night.

[OH3MGSVT]

When have I ever made a thread saying I was looking to buy a corvette? Im leading nobody on Im doing what I need to have a running car, and shit if I can get a new motor out of it, then I'll keep this, if not then I'll sell it. not like this is all something that is impossible.........
