I moved back in with my folks, got a new job, and so on... But I do have a question for you all... and that's what should I do? So, as most of you may or may not know, a while back I traveled 200 miles down to GA to buy a 95 Mustang GT modded 5.0 for about 4000 bucks... and it broke down on the trip back. With the assistance of my dad, we got it home and fixed it, and I fixed several wiring issues within the car, including shorts preventing the exterior lights and internal dash lights from working as intended. Now the only "issue" internally is the fact that the instrument cluster needles are incorrect due to the previous owner pulling them off for aftermarket gauge faces and not replacing them correctly. Not even 3 months after getting it back on the road, I have managed to break a valve spring in 2-3 places, bent a push rod, and possibly bent the valve. At this point I have not pulled the heads to see what all kind of damaged was acquired, but it is obvious that this car was some kids project gone wrong, and I bought it. So, at this point I am left with a couple options, rebuild the motor that's in it, and hope I have no more major issues... track down and rebuild another motor... or sell it as a roller and take my losses... What do you all think I should do? I ask you all because I figure most of you have more experience with these types of situations. Thanks in advance!</blockquote>
