Default Wreck Update

So many of you know i was in a wreck a few weeks back. It looked fixable and was under the threshold until they cut it down and found frame damage. Insurance company totaled the car I spent the last two days swapping my parts off. I dont know what the insurance company is going to give me but theyre going to try to lowball for like 2 or low 3 and i think 3500-4000 is more fair. It only had 109000 miles which is fair for a 2000. So im thinkin its GT time. Im not sure.


Its sad seeing these


My CAI actually helped absorb impact hahahaha

Ouch, it hurts to see a stang get hit. Hopefully you can get enough from the insurance to get something good. I see GTs and sometimes cobras for under 5-10K so you never know what you could end up with.

No prob man. Ha a lot of my friends who have seen pics were like ohhh thats not too bad but when they saw it in person theyre like DAMN! haha but i got the upper intake for 180. Ill think of a price and since there probably wont be any shipping involved it will def be reasonable. I frequent the pdx area

Yeah i was actually in portland last night at PIR watchin the late night drags. There was a sick TT cobra running 9's. I was like OMMGGGGGGGG. ha. but yeah you can bolt it right up. The only thing i would suggest you get is a torque wrench. Theres a write-up i used to install mine. I have the link saved somewhere but ill send it to ya sometime.







And no. No grill delete. I actually had money set aside to do the grill delete and chin spoiler package when the car got fixed but yeahhhhhhhh

yeah its straightforward. just takes a lot of time because theres like 45645746342365345 bolts on that sucker. torquewrench is just for assurance that the thing wont come loose. and the writeup called for one i think. but yeah PIR has a site with a events calendar i believe.
