Nice find and great start for less a Grand so far.


I gotta try that, nothing though to use balls to pop dents.

thats fine, it doesnt bother me at all, i was offering to build it at cost, just trying to help people out. and i have actually noticed a difference with it, but o well.

if people want to be jack ***es then let them be

the reason i come here is to share info, and learn things i need to know about my car. i figured they were being passively rude, but im not here to deal with that.

Can people just be mature and respectful here or is that too much to ask?

Did I ask you to like it? Nope! And guess what! I don't care! The pictures are posted to show the work I have done and the progress I have made. I'm sure there are things on your car that I wouldn't like, but I'm not gonna be a D*** about it.

It amazes me how rude people are about other peoples cars on this site.

So here is my rant

Everyone has a reason for doing what they do. For example; the reason i chose to do the interior with the blue accent, is because my best friend, who died 3 years ago, always wanted a 240 hatch, and this is how he wanted it done. I, personally, am not into these kind of cars so much (though they are growing on me) I would much rather be building a Mustang again. But I'm not building this for me. I am building it in a friends' memory.

I came to this site looking for information and a friendly car related atmosphere. I guess that was too much to ask for, Thank you
