Default Question on repair costs.

I have a question on the repair cost on a recent '86 Mustang Hatchback I came across recently. It has a 5.0 V8 manual engine in it, as well as a BVK throttle body and headers, extreme X body kit, H pipes, T5 vortec supercharger, and MSD ignition coil. It also has the standard power door locks, power seats, power steering, power windows, and tilt wheel. However, what it needs are brakes, AC, smog, catalytic converter, and the transmission syncronized. How much would all of this go for? I'd offer more information, but this is as much as I've been given by the seller. Thanks!

Sepends on if you are doing it yourself.
job time you shop
brakes 4 hrs $70 $140
rotors 1 hr $200 $350
AC 6 hr xx $100-$600
Smog 2 hr $100-$400
CAT H 2 hr $200 $400
Trans used 6 hr $ 180 $ 250-$400

Are you sure you need this money pit?
86 GT is worth about $800 tops.

While I'd love to own a blown Mustang, I'd be cautious buying an old one with a blower.. chances are it has led a hard life, and those areas he already told you about that need fixing might just be the tip of the repair iceburg
