Let me know how your hood works after you do the vent cut outs... if it cools the blower, I'm down.

exactly... this way even if a piston rusts to the block it wont be a huge deal. lol. its getting torn down anyways.
(which I doubt it will in Colorado)

are you rebuilding it the same or what?

No idea. Whatever is budget friendly.

you're telling me. lol

 

[white95]

Remove budget from your vocabulary! I had initially set a $3,500 budget for my build. The rotating assembly and machine work/assembly set me back $3,100 d'oh

 

[whiplash473]

lol...budget...mustang...lol

 

[belber095]

I've spent over 1400 bucks on my car already and you can't hardly tell.. lol

 

[MustangChris]

budget died LOOONG ago.

Somehow it cost me $9,000.00 to pull the termi motor, fab the frame, paint, and put it together... (WTF? lol)

 

[Javi]

How much is retail on that car?
Lol


Sent with tapacrap

 

[MustangChris]

maybe $8k. lol.

why do you ask, Javi? got a mazda you want to trade me?

Mazda + $16,000.00 and i'll trade.

 

[KillNThrill24]

Probably July 2013.

[Mustang Mark]

It sucks to see after all that work you put into it the motor is knocking. Good luck with getting it fixed.
