definitely a fixable car. You can probably pull the top support back out yourself

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Are you viewing from work? The company I work for blocks some picture servers. So a lot of times I need to wait until I get home to view them.

Okay be fair.  While that statement might be true, it's kind of like Hugh Hefner saying it's easy to pick up a hot chick.  Maybe easy for him doesn't mean easy for you.
