Been away from mustangs for about a year now, had kids, bought a house, you know life stuff. Just recently started looking for another one for a project. The 03-04 Machs have always been one of my favorites so when I found a severely abused one I felt that I had to save it.
Towed it home with my good buddy @lwarrior1016 from two states away
Guy claimed to not know exactly was wrong with it and he just didnt want to go any further with it. Come to find it appears to have a spun bearing somewhere as I cranked it and drove it into the driveway and it died several times and after a few startups it wouldnt turn over again. I believe I just warmed it up enough to lock something up.
It is damaged on the driver side but came with a fender, door, and new bumper.
Upon pulling the fenders off its obvious it was damaged a little more than the guy claimed.
Took some quick measurements today and it doesnt seem to have affected anything. Going to take some more tomorrow and see if I can find anything extremely out of line.
Here are some pictures after cleaned for the first time in years
Plan for now is still completely undecided. If I am going to build an engine Im not sure what my power goal would be with this car. Dont want to strip it down and make a race car but also would like it to hold its own.
I dont have any experience with wrecked vehicles so if any body guys want to chime in and tell me its totaled go ahead lmao. Excited to be back in a Mustang!
