Legally I can't do anything before Friday. And the dude hasn't responded to @kirk on FB. Ask is $5500. And I don't think I'd argue on price. Of which I have none. I'd have to borrow $7500 to cover shipping. On an old ass truck, that's $200/mo from the bank until I could sell my 2nd Gen (which I can afford after April when my mortgage contribution drops by $300/mo). Then it's pay off that 7500, spend another 3 to get the timing belt and clutch done, and a full tune up. A few weeks to sort the suspension. Just so I could drive it with confidence.

And this is supposed to be the summer of Mustang.

I'm spinning all the plates in my head. It's a lot.

If I could do it, I could have a Unicorn with a body lift and PML on 32s, maybe a functional Mustang and be comfortable every month.

That's IF I could get good money for the 2nd Gen. To the right person it's $15? Maybe?

The biggest problem in my head is that I don't have the time/bandwidth to do the necessary maintenance myself. I'd have to pay for it so I can have a functional truck quickly. If I had a year round daily, it'd be a different story.

Trust me. I'm trying to spin it every which way in my head to make it work.

Pretty sure you are overthinking this, there is a simple solution...

1) Create a backup of this site. Make sure it is an offline one, not stored at the hosting provider.
2) Find one of those marketing companies that want to take over the site. Get a really good offer.
3) Sell the site to them.
4) Buy blue.
5) Put the remaining site sale proceeds in a savings account.
6) We all get annoyed at the new corporate overlords, and leave the site.
7) Site loses tons of money, company goes bankrupt.
8) Buy site back at fire sale prices using savings.
9) Restore site from backup, we all come back.

Finally have a bumper and that 12k winch in it. Also I feel lied to, my 3" body lift was actually 2-⅝"

Now to get an inspection sticker this week maybe.

Also need to raptor liner it... gray.

And hide green in there somewhere. I can't have a Nissan and not keep the green.

I just dont want the whole dang thing green.

We're going to attempt a video call on Thursday to go through the whole truck.

Need a line on a HP D44, Chebby knuckles/brakes, 5.13s, ARB, the works. One of my hangups on the D44 is that I want bigger brakes, but nobody seems to make them.
