I'm more interested in how you spent 20K in parts.
It's Gumby's fault.

Wasn't on the paint..... I didn't have to enlarge the photos to see the orange peel.

I have to say I actually like the color though.

I'm sorry to hear that it got jacked up though.  I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

It's possible to spend a lot of money especially when you want to spend it.

I laugh when people use a number figure to tell me what they have in their car. looks like you paid WAY too much for a lot of things. but it's only worth what someone is willing to spend.

almost $300 to get a new steering column had to start with a screw driver for a few weeks now.

need a new trunk lid now for 87-88 cougar let me know ASAP.

also needs a set of door locks one is FUBAR.

Insurance was cancelled shiznitty new job $7.25 a hour.

on a side note need a intake for my t-bird motor i am buliding because my T-bird motor is a smoking V7 now.

gotta repaint the trunk lid so i got a new paint idea for it.

life moves on but this needs to stop wrecked car all parts in this car then break in.

new T-bird no more car payments and no more motor.

and it sucks hagerty only covers 1986 models and back for now but its okay i still would not mind a 83-86 t-bird with a 460 swap.

i am a nice guy most of the time so not sure if i pissed anyone off time to make the car nicer just to make sure and it might be nice to buy a gun soon.

its just money but i still have not put the sound system back in it.

but now i can get work done cheap motor swaps for like $200 or so.

well when you think all the parts had to be pulled out of my wrecked 87 t-bird then added to the cougar then got more parts its just money but i can walk to work right now but after i get a car fixed and get a better job i could careless again about $$$.

you don't own our cars for money you own them because you like them you fix them up because ford did not spend enough time doing so.

i don't care if i got $1200 in a 87 t-bird or $20,000 in a  cougar because at the end of a day i got a nice fun car thats kinda rare to see and not like anyone else's.

pics this week i hope.
