Bad news about my car

RAGE_5.0 · 12-27-2001, 09:56 PM

Well the body shop called today. They talked to my dad and they told him the damage was between 3500 and 4500.The frame is bent a little and they can fix it and the windshield broke because the pillar is now 1/16th out. The fenders hood bumper headlights and all that type of **** need replaced to.

I think i am juts going to pay the car off and buy a new 1 and sell this 1 as a parts car.i don't really see much sense of putting another $4500. Ionly paid $4300 to begin with so i think the best bet would be to just buy a new 1.

it has to be a gt or a notchback(preferably gt) and be a 5spd.
there is also a 1970 dart swinger in the paper for 7500 so maybe i can get my dad to lend me some money
oh well i guess this spells the end of my gt

Damn, sorry to hear that! Can't you just find a 4 banger and take the whole driveline and put that in... or do you want to just find another 5 litre and start over? Let me know, cuz there's a few around here that aren't too bad..

i am just gonna go with another 5.0
my dad was right saying that it would be to hard to sawp drivelines in a 4 banger or at least thats wut the ppl in the windsor forum made it out to be

my dad was gonna help me out with the repair bills so maybe i can get him to help me out with buying another 1
the bad thing is though i still owe money on this 1
