Tranny is broken on the Mark8. i have an 86 monte carlo that im going to sell, and i had the mark advertised for sale...I want to get a performance car, on a student's budget.
Option #1:: Sell the monte for 1500, and keep the mark, get the tranny fixed, and slowly build it up with the risk of breaking more stuff on it? (concidering that i drive it like a racecar all the time, and its stock) i already know i have about $500 more in repairs.
Option #2:: Sell both cars, and wind up with about 5500, i guess. Buy a Fox body mustang 5.0 5spd, and hook it up.
Option #3:: Sell both cars, and get a Monte carlo SS and slowly hook it up.
Option #4:: My favorite option, which was my original plan. Sell both cars, Buy a 70-79 Trans Am with a 400 pontiac block, and slowly hook it up. Looking originally i figgured on having to spend about 7-8k for getting one to be a daily driver with good condition interior pannels and stuff. (Finding one is hard, You either have the Complete project car, the barely daily driver with lots of rust, or the higher end daily driver, and then pristene one. Quite a big diffrence between what i need and what i can find.)
Open to sugestions.
