Adam7 Adam7 Post Master Supreme Registered: 07/17/01 Posts: 12868 Loc: ESS SEA	I worked from home today so the wife and I went out for lunch. Before dropping her off we got two lbs of shrimp to bring up to her parent's this weekend and while she was paying (this is a shack down on the dock where the shrimp boats come in) she grabbed a card for a local charter guy and gave slipped it in my pocket. We figure we should pay someone to take us out and show us some of the local shit so we'll be more successful when guests show up and look like we know what we're doing I'd take you out myself but I want to make sure your first trip wouldn't be your last either $;\)$ Hell, if you come this far I'll take you anyways. What do you want to fish for? _________________________

With the parts market as huge as it is, you can make them do whatever you want to do on a small budget. I really like this SN95 idea, but it's going to require time and know-how that you don't have, Adam7. When you need to hide from your wife in the garage (when you get a garage), then it's Mustang time. Guess What? /cue Yakety Sax _________________________

Adam7 Adam7 Post Master Supreme Registered: 07/17/01 Posts: 12868 Loc: ESS SEA	Well the wife wasn't as excited about this idea the second time around, so going the miata route might make her see the light. I'm still open to anything really, I just want to take something apart. _________________________

ReplicaR ReplicaR Post Master Sr Registered: 05/26/06 Posts: 5066 Loc: E.E.B.	I think the prices leveled off more or less around 3-4k for a clean one. I would not even consider one for 2k, because at that point it's more trouble than it's worth really. _________________________ '94 Mustang GT Acceleration.... $\:\($ -------+-- $\:\)$ Handling......... $\:\($ ---------+ $\:\)$ Speed............ $\:\($ -----+---- $\:\)$
