dang it all....i wrecked the stang

89mustang · 01-14-2002, 01:28 PM

I came up over a hill and there was a curve that i didnt know was there, and there was no sign that said that there was a hanging turn up over the hill and i found out that there was a rock over on the other side, it punched a hole in my radiator up, and screwed up the front bumper pretty good, but it didnt do anything to the supercharger or the engine, i actually drove it home, and it ran alright i just gotta figure out what to do to get her back on the road, im thinking ill be replacing the upper and lower control arms, bushings and probably gonna go ahead and do bigger brakes. I am gonna put an electric fan on and probably and aftermarket radiator, so if anyone knows any companies that would be good for these parts lemme know cause im gonna be needin them in the very near future.

That sucks, but it could have been alot worse......Every time I break one of my rides I just make it better.

What a bummer, glad you're ok, though! It doesn't sound too bad, so I hope you can get it fixed and back on the road soon!

Sorry about to hear about that man, accidents arn't cool at all, but look at it as an excuse for better parts for your car.

You are BUMMIN' dude. Sorry about the car..cars can be fixed..people can't always be fixed..Glad you are OK

89mustang · 01-16-2002, 01:45 AM

Yeah I figure im pretty lucky to not have been hurt cause there was a larger, pointed rock on over the side of the hill, so even though im a bit upset about smacking a rock, im really glad i didnt find the one that was on the other side, it probably would have totalled my car. I just thank God im in one piece, i mean yeah it was my car and all, but at least i wasnt hurt and nobody else was either so im happy about that...... lol i guess one good thing is that i had been wanting to put a GT front bumper on my car ( seeing as how my old one was an LX front) guess i got an excuse to do that now. oh well if anyone knows a price of the brace that holds the radiator down at the bottom ( have no clue what its called) lemme know. and anyone know how much a GT front bumper is? thanks
