Default Good news and bad news

As stated above I have good news and bad news. The good outweighs the bad so I cant complain too much. The good news...I was able to pick up a driveshaft from laurel mountain mustang (pa) for 40 bucks. I threw some new u-joints in there and put it in without a hitch and now no vibration. While I was under the stang I realized how CLEAN it was, which is awesome. There was a little surface rust but overall alot better than I thought and I threw in a hurst shifter handle while I was at it. I also have some parts on the way, A JDM cold air intake and an AC eliminator kit for 100 bucks total off ebay and both are brand new. Now for the bad...I went in to get an arthoscopy for a debriment on my right knee after I tweaked it in basic back in august and it turns out that I had a torn meniscus the whole time. So instead of a week on crutches and back behind the wheel/under the hood of the stang asap. Im laid up for 4-6 weeks. Damn lol...hopefully by the time I get better it will be nice enought to have her outta the garage. Im just itchin to get her out on the highway.

I just had my shoulder scoped about a month ago, and I am STILL not allowed to work on my car I hope you get better soon and while you are laid up make a good little build list and order some parts, that way you got lots o goodies to install when you are back on your feet!!
