Default Wohooo! Got mine! and thank you!

thanks for all your previous advices, I just bought, w help of my friend, 05 Mustang GT!!

well right now its like 5000 miles from my place, in Nashville, TN, and its rear is crashed, but it will be on its way to his new daddy soon!

Auction price was $ 13 K, it has MT and 2500 milage. I guess spare parts will be about 3 K, another 3 K is shipping, but my friends mechanics here are anxcious to start work on it...

im attaching some pictures.

Any ideas on what kind of mods should I order in include with it into container??? (like for another 1000 $)?

That car is really banged up. I hope it doesn't cost you too much to get it back together. Good luck.

Are you getting a salvage title? It looks like it's going to cost you some bucks to fix that one up unless you end up doing it yourself.

comparing to other 05 Ponys that you can find on Copart auctions (including flooding title which means that whole electricity in car is FUBAR), this one was far "best" type of damage I could find in three months!
I will not be repairing it in the US, but have it shipped here and let my friends work on it. It will be much cheaper with labour work as I am not sure how much do they charge you in the US for hour of work, but here at my friends it's like 10 $/hour
PLus they love those types of car so it will be done with love. Expected reconstruction excl. parts is 2000 $ incl. new paint with stripes !!!

Only thing I am bit afraid of is if the collision didnt wrecked something important in the rear of chassis as Pony is RWD...

Anyway I will keep you updated on repairs, car should make it here in January...

By that time, if you could advice me on what modificiations I should order, I would be really glad!

I would save your money and make sure it is properly fixed before you start modding.
