Posted by: Markviiiedrea

It's a damned shame to say this, but unless your paying out of pocket, kiss er goodbye....

Posted by: Markviiiedrea

well i have two options i found another mark the one that i have been trying to make this one into , or buy a 00 v6 mustang and swap my mark motor and tranny into it.

Posted by: MediumD

A V6 -> 4V swap isn't real easy, I'd roll with the other Mark if I were you.

Posted by: Markviiiedrea

I will see how this one looks. but I have wanted a nustang for ever. mechanicly I dont think it will be that hard. I think getting the computer to work will be hard part.

Your damage is not a bad as Jibit's. There are some possibilities to repair yours. I would say you're looking at about $3500 to fix it. If not, you can part her out.

well if it was just that then yes, but the paint was falling off in larg chunks last summer and then it got hit by softball sized hail last fall, and this spring i put it in to a wall so maybe i will let it go.

I had a bottle of Green label a couple weeks ago, first time I drank JW.

My father-in-law did the same thing, the insurance company is going to buy him out of his Mark and let him keep it for $500 less the maximum payout.

So I offered to by it for $1200 bucks, is it worth it?

93K miles
perfect interior

Is the car repairable? If I buy the parts on ebay and have a buddy hang the quarter?

Posted by: Markviiiedrea

yours yes mine no
