cleangreenmachine,
the estimate was about $170 dollars low (but he cut me a big deal for the labor, so it actually came out to ~$70 low). The required lot of time they ask for is 6 hrs (usu. get done in about 4, the extra two is for unexpected problems). My brother helped me drop it off and I dropped him at school and drove his Grand Am to work and picked up the Mustang after work. Hey, try to get them to do it in the morning, get someone to drop you at work, then have a fellow employee drop you back there after work (if they tell you they'll get it done by then--they should, that's a whole ******* day).
JL1314,
I know how you feel. I have never been in a rear end before so my knowledge about it is very limited. I really would have LOVED to watch but it was against insurance policy
. Yeah, they did find more wrong with the rear than I thought they would. Oh well.
Jaydee,
You're right: if I get them to hook. It's been at least 6 months since I've had positraction in the back so I will DEFININATELY have to practice my launch. I just tried a pretty hefty launch a few minutes ago and there was a whole lot of spinning. GOTTA PRACTICE.
