90 5.0 beater......
I just picked up a 1990 5.0 Notch 5 speed for a song. What do I do with it? It runs great, but is pretty rough. No hood (accident), front clip is damaged, cowl is bent a little from hood coming over it (ran under an 18 wheeler), has a few dings here and there. Interior is trashed, and the paint is long gone. It has a ton of new parts on it though, and the T5 was rebuilt a few hundered miles ago.
Everything works on it and I drive it to work a few times a week. I was wondering if it is worth turning into a project, orjust parting it out? It has around 140K and leaks a little oil. I have all the gaskets to fix it. Also, the motor mounts are SHOT! the engine raises out of the car about a foot when you get on it! I also have new mounts for it in the trunk.
Basically, it need the whole interior done, new seats, alot of body work, and some tlc.
It looks like crap, but runs like a raped ape.
What to do????
