take out the parts you can use or sell... this happened to me about 4 years ago, and i was so depressed about the accident i forgot to grab everything important that I could use or make money off of. I forgot about the a9l, cheese grater taillights, indash guages, and some other odds and ends... dont let this happen to you!

Dont forget the a9l/a9p computer, maf parts, interior parts, other things like that.

As for insurance, back in 2000 when I was 18 I bought a 92 5.0 GT. Full coverage was 2200 every 6 months with GEICO. And that was with a perfect record. Nowadays its a lil bit better being married and older... I have a 87 GT Vert with full coverage and I pay 90 a month.

That sucks man, glad to hear you are ok. The new Cobra's would be sick, but i'm pretty sure they are rough on insurance. I'd suggest just swapping the parts into a roller and taking it from there.

yea i wouldnt get into a big loan if i were you. I was in that situation with an 06 lincoln ls that my dad signed for and i made the $660/mo car payment, I ended up being dumb at 20yrs old and got a dwi and now hes stuck with it and i feel horrible. I would save ur parts n buy a $1k 4cyl in good cond then swap.

Thanks for all the support guys, I really needed it.

As for the Cobra, after listening to your guys' suggestions I think I'm going to hold off on that and just save up.

I'll probably just part out the stang and get a loan of 3-5k and get another fox.

Payments on that would be about 150-250 bucks and I can definetly afford that.

Also, what is needed for the MAF conversion if I was to get a fox without it.

The MAF sensor and what else? A Harness?

you need the MAF sensor, wiring harness, and a MAF computer, you can buy complete kits from Ford Racing!

Thanks guys, yeah I'm good, I've already got a buyer for the engine, front bumper, fenders, radiator, fan, hood.

The guys giving me $1,000 for all of the stuff listed above.

Would you guys say thats a good price or should I charge him more?
