Once again I been struck my the curse. I had 4500 left in my budget for paint and body but now my daily decided to throw a rod. Now I have to spend the money on another daily.
Man when I say I can feel your pain, I mean I can LITERALLY feel your pain, hang in there and don't bother with all the positive feel good assertions because it effing sucks.......period!
Buy a couple hundred dollar car. Or put a junk yard engine in your car. Then you'll still have plenty of money left over.
I agree...Put another engine in it from the J/Y and keep rollin. I feel your pain too...Been there my self,. Just remeber...Could have been worse.
worse had already happened a month into owning the car I had 15k saved up I ended up in the hospital for a month and took my budget to 5k. As for a junk yard motor it isn't worth putting more money into the car electric problems suspension was gone I was on borrowed time.
Hey BlaHHa: What type of engine are you looking for ? I'm removing a good running 5.0 Mustang from a 70 Maverick to install a NEW engine we built here in our shop in a couple of weeks. If you're interested lemmeno .(cameocarclub@yahoo.com) I've heard this engine run , and went for a drive in the Maverick before buying the car in Alabama. Sounds good , doesn't smoke , and is together . Cometized ( Chip )
motor I needed was for a 2000 vw jetta. Aeg code but I was able to get a motor for 300 from a family friend has 50000 miles on it. so lucky me on that one. The maverick was just dropped off to be completely rewired so no more issues. When I tried driving the maverick to work once I turn the headlights on it would short the car out.
My own paint fund money went to the family budget when my wife lost her job so I know exactly how you feel
