He was like 17, his dad was on here as well and helped him out. I think they had like 3 or 4 mustangs counting this one.

The sad ending...
It has been a long time since I have been on this fourm and i'm sad to say I had to sell my car. Everything was fine until my mother had past away (I was only 15). My step father (Fakesnakes) decided to moved to PA and I refused because I wanted to continue school here in CT and stay here where all of my family and friends are. At the time I was put through a lot over my mothers death and things only got worse. I am fine and happy now and things have settled down. I have not heard from him in over a year and for other reasons I hope I never do. At the time I had no place to put the car, no money or skill to finish it.. It was a very sad ending. I wanted to keep that car so badly but there was just no way I could've. I ended up only making half the money that was invested into the car due to its incompletion. It is now long gone and I hope to soon hear from the lucky owner that finished my dream car. I will keep you posted if I recieve any updates or picures from him. thanks

That is sad and it does suck, especially at your age and I am mainly talking about about losing your mother and your relationship with stepfather. I am glad to hear you are getting your life back in order. Here's to a brighter future.

Your young. Another will come. Finish school, get your money straight and do it again and learn from your mistakes on the last.The next will go smoother, and you'll finish it.

Adult side of me.
(Stay away from cars, they are money pits LOL)

Hey, I know its tough right now I but get through school and get yourself settled in. Then you'll be able to get another on and do it up right. I didn't get my mustang until 2 yrs ago when I was 42. I'd wanted one since I was 5.

Sorry to hear about your Mom and the other issues, but you will have another shot at a mustang, I know it.
