Ok thanks alot for your input blade Im very new to all of this. I dont know much at all about cars but the guy says it runs good and hes added a bunch of new parts. As you can see in the desc he put up above..

So im gonna go tomorrow to take a look and test drive it. If it actually is running good with good interior then i was gonna buy it right away. But what should i look for in hidden damage? any advice when inspecting the car?

Or he could keep looking for one like this for basically the same price http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/cto/1128735361.html There are some good deals out there right now I would just be patient and not force a purchase. I understand the supply may be thinner in your area but I would advise you not to buy a $2300 headache and moneypit.

86 5.0L

do you have a camera? take pictures of under the hood and close ups of any negative thing, cracks, RUST, chips, etc. the inside too

during the test drive listen and feel for anything weird noises, does the car track straight? does the steering wheel wobble at speed?

feel the sheetmetal between the rear quarter window and the hatch, abused 5.0s will start to crinkle the sheetmetal

where are you exactly?

Well the thing is my budget isnt in the 2 thousands. Im actually only willing to spend a maximum of 1500 lol. So him saying he will take 1500 is perfect for me.

Yeah i have a camera and i will look for all those things thank you.

Im located in burlington so not too far from toronto .. BUT my budget is 1500 lol. so all those nicer 2.5+ grand cars with no body damage are out of my range.


How hard would it be to replace the hood and left fender and spolier?

if i were i would wait. why not save up some money and buy one of the $2500+ mustangs. i think you should be more patient and save ur your money for something that hasnt been wrecked. i know you think you need one now but what is a few more months when you can buy something that doesn't need a ton of work right off the bat. thats what i would do.

Why am i the only one that thinks it doesnt look bad? Lol. Just having a new hood on it would look 10x better. Hood and fender would make it look decent. Just make sure there isnt anything else wrong with it. Look for rust, definitely test drive it and see if it goes

Fox23

i know! but i currently dont have a job.. This sucks lol. I got so excited about this car and everyone says dont buy it.

i was hoping for a good deal. clearly it isnt?

Even for 1500!!$$ i called a mustang scrap yard near me and they can give me replacement hood, spolier and fender for 350$!!

What do you guys think?

Fox23

Blade lol i have no idea. it doesnt look bad to me either but then again i dont know much about this stuff.

Do you know how hard it would be to replace those parts? im just worried about the frame being damaged more then it looks and the parts wont fit on properly maybe? other then that i cant see it being that much of a money pit? what 350 - 500 dollars? to get it looking good

javier146

It looks like it is going to take more than 500 to get that to look good.

Fox23

well yeah it will take more then 500. But i mean to make it driveable lol.

fender hood spoiler and headlight..

then obviously more body work and probably a whole repaint once im done with it

So what do u think 1500? Good or Bad? end up costing me Max 2000 after buying new hood ect. and its in good running condition?
