Default 2002 neglected V6 brought back from dead (before and after)

My kids were in a small front end collson 4 years ago in my son in laws mustang. It was left for dead on front lawn from that point on. It wasn't even started in the last two years,and when they bought their new house I wanted them to take it with them and get it off my lawn. After three weeks, I said just sign it over to me and ill get rid of it. When I did an inspection of it it wasnt as bad as I thought so I started to price parts and get the elbow grease flowin. Here are some before pics

And the finished car. .After only 350 dollars invested!





I had to remove and repair the window motor, buy oil, filter and air cleaner $25, New headlights, $89 , header panel, $49 , cleaning supplies, $30 Used battery,$30, Air conditioning recharge, $30, Mouse traps, $10 and bra $70 . I still have to replace the missing fender moldings on the bottom of the front fenders behind the front wheels. I can get both of those new and painted for $114. I am waiting on that till after I get through the DMV stuff.
As far as the labor, thats a whole different story, there was a whole crapload!
