Default I Got One At Last

After debating the situation, i decided to get an 89 GT...im in love with that thing now...i slept in it last night...my last one got taken cuz my pops caught me doin donuts in a parking lot but ill be on the streets with it relatively soon i hope..it has a ****ty battery so i gotta replace that, the battery cables are corroded and i get a fast clicking sound when im trying to start it while jumping it..Im guessing a starter and/or solonoid ill just get both. (65 bucks) easy install but i plan on regasketing the entire motor because it has sat for a year now...does anyone know a cheap place to get a pro5.0 shifter.. i cant stand the stock one. the cheapest i have found is 200 bucks..if you know of any other places that have it cheaper let me know...or even a diffterent shifter..let me know...

yea ima doubt u slept in it ryan, lol..

yea well replace the battery asap, that may make ur clicking go away, its possible that it, even jumped, wasnt enough power. so dont get the starter till after u get the battery. if that doesnt do it well do the starter/silonoid.

she needs some tlc... but well get that biotch runnin man...

i think i already told u all of that tho, lol

n again when we get it runnin we can check codes, fuel press(i got a guage today, lol) and vac.... just so we no where it is.

and yea man... well be doing gaskets soon. after we get it runnin were see how bad its leaking, but its easy we can do it in a day no question.

I did it one night last summer. I just leaned the seat back and put a sunshade (one of those cardboard sunglasses pictures from the early '90's) on the windshield and went to sleep.
Im not a little guy either.
