Spending a few G's
 

Okay, I think I'll be able to spend about $5,000 to $7,000 on my car in a month or so. But I am wondering if I should spend it on this one or buy another one (and get rid of this one). I am thinking I can probably buy another one for that price that's much nicer and already built, but who wants prebuilt anyway? You get what they wanted.

Here is the reason I bought this one...
New Mickey T's, Frame ties, Equal Length Headers, Brand New richmond 3.73's, Hurst shifter, racing clutch (dunno what), New Tochiko (whatever!) 90/10's, Explorer upper and lower intake, Dual blade electric fan, MSD 6al, MSD Coil, Underdrive crank pulley, Short Ram air intake, 70mm TB, 70mm Spacer and we're pretty sure an e-303(sounds like one) and possibly aftermarket rockers (Haven't checked), and Chrome 16" Cobra R knock off's.

Sooooo I need...

New Transmission, Motor Rebuild using mostly what I've got, Heads, Cheap tires, Body work, "Paint it Black" (it's now a blue/purple bad bass boat job), new Rear valance, new front bumper cover, Driver side fender, eibach springs, Some interior parts (those that are broken, a new Cowl hood.

Should I buy another and spend a ton on performance parts or keep this and spend a ton on body work and paint? I do like the fact that it's an '89 25th year (Though it's not worth anything more I thought it was cool).
:confused:

I would sell that car and buy another car that didnt need all the body work and paint. Body work and paint work has a way of making unbelievable amounts of cash vanish.

i thought 90 was the 25th annivesery? maybe its some 89's and some 90's? i would also look into something thats already had a lot of work done for $8k. if you shop wisely, you'll pick up a car w/ $16k worth of work/parts for $8k. be willing to travel

I agree with Ghettopop. And another thing, I know the 90's were the 25th anniversary. Maybe there's some late 89's in there too. Since they actually did start in 64 1/2. The thing that gets me is they went with the 90 mustang for the 25th, but the 99 is the 35th anniversary. What's up with that?

My wife's gonna kill me but that was my take as well! I may just buy another one and keep that one. That should make her mad. :D

Your right, it is some 89's and early 90's- I guess they couldn't add in 99.
