Man up? Im 18 and still in high school, I have no job and have to buy things cheap and turn around and sell them for profit. Its not like I cant do it, its just that I rather try to sell the car without trying to dump anymore money into it.
BTW, My car has never been touched by a mechanics hands since ive owned the car. For one, I dont trust mechanics after what I saw on a news report, they charge out the a$$ for labor, and also overcharge for the cost of the part.
///////////////A buddy of mine took his mustang to be looked at cause he was planning on selling it and didnt want to fiddle with it anymore, they said he needed a new clutch, and gave him 3 part options, and he got the centerforce one cause it was the only name he reconized, and they also said he needed a new waterpump gasket. 1day later he got it back and that night he was relearning how to drive it(new clutch), and I got a call asking it I could call with my aaa car to pick his car up, and I did, We took it to my shop and got it up on the lift. I checked out the "new centerforce clutch" only to find out that it was a cheap knockoff autozone part, and that alot of bolts werent tightened to specs. As for the " replaced water pumpgasket, it looked like someone took a wire brush and cleaned it up a bit.
He took it back and threatened to sue, and they fixed his car and refunded his money, except for parts cost. They had an ASE banner in the window, I wonder where they got that from, the place wasnt very reputable in the first place, But he went there cause they were the cheapest.///////////////////////////
I know if Ill do it for the tbird, I might as well get my cougar up next to it in the other lift. The cougar has been a pain but I still keep it for some reason, Ive learned alot from that car after putting this into it:
25K engine
Arizona Transplant Trans, plus a b&m shift kit
3.73 R&p
Polyurethane bushing
Alum Driveshaft
Starter
Brakes, Both front and rear for both cars_
Rear disc conversion for the cougar.
Minor exhaust work. (Pipe to pipe welding)
Minor paint and dent repair
Trans cooler
a few more other mods, hisss, Im mean hint.
Ill just be glad to get them both fixed up ready to sell, Im getting a fiero for $500, they dont have such a bad reputation, except for the fact that they catch fire.lol,
Thanks for the info guys.
