[Nickynick]

so i took my car in to the mustang shop for rear main and rear end rebuild and steeda clutch quadrant.. and bought 3.73 on way there from craigslist for 100 bucks, for sale btw... frpp, still have box no whine at all. pm me but got a call the other day.. need new rear housing bushing, rear control arms upper and lower, valve cover gasket, which leaked so bad i needed new clutch disk, all ontop of the rear end and rear main.

should i be crying or is this somthing that im really gonna not regret because my car is gonna be 1000 times "ridabilitty" improved?

Seems like this is always happening to me. Go in the shop for one thing end up leaving with multiple things. I would like to do the work myself but dont have another car to drive while my cobra is down.

As said before, if you can, try and tackle the valve cover gaskets, they are easy. As for the rear end, I would leave that to someone who knows what they are doing.

I have a list of all the stuff I need to replace. Grows as fast as I fix stuff. But I never bring my car to shops. Bit on cars as old as ours and when we drive them hard this stuff wears out.im slowly replacing all the rubber on my car.

Thats what happens when you go to a shop. They point out every little thing wrong with your car and it makes you think its about to blow up

Only people who should cry and take their cars to shops are woman and terrorists

Stuff so simple you can do it all yourself except for stated above probably your rear end stuff. There's so many step by step diagrams and alot of people who have been in your shoes that will either give you all the info you need or even go as far as helping

I've pulled my hair out over this damn car but it always works out in the end. Just think if stuff was broken, it is just its way of saying.. time for improvement

did valve cover gaskets when i first got the car, pain in the rear end. i dont have time to do it again so i threw it in a shop while i was out of town for a week and a half, and kept getting calls about shit going bad with pics. i can do small stuff, but its my only car other than bike so i dont wanna **** anything up. that and i have no tools or room to do so
