ok, let me start this off with, i've been looking at this site for along time...ok.....this is how the story goes.
i traded my 1990 Pontiac Firebird last year for a 35th Anniversary Thunderbird. i drove it for bout 3 months and someone sugered and mothballed my gastank. then my head gasket blew at 140,000 miles....and i had my brother -in- law's brother fix it. i gave him the money to get the heads shaved 20 thousands and he never did. i think he just put a straight edge to the heads and figured that they weren't worped. so he cleaned them up and put them back on, and charged me 900.00 plus parts witch was 150.00 for the gaskets and another 45.00 for the head bolts and another 50.00 to get the heads shaved, but never did it. now, when the temp guage worked, it read up in the o to m range. when i first got it, it never went off the n. so i went out and got a 180 stat and a aftermarket fan relay, now, the temp guage don't work, its NEW. and this winter, i was tryin to get it unstuck and i blew out the tranny, but i can get a new rebult one for 200.00. i also used to only get between 11 and 12 pounds of boost, and now i'm gettin 13 to 14 pounds....and the motor has alot more power. i also got the doull ram air hood for it, paid 60.00 for it...i know i got a steal. what should i do?? i also have a 1989 Taurus SHO i was thinkin bout takin it to the junk yard to swap it for a new motor....b/c i've already put over 2000.00 into the car. could some one please tell what i should do?? i'm running out of money and pacience...thanx
