Not a bad estimate. I'll post the actual cost when we get closer to the end.

Please keep in mind, though, that I got a significant discount on the car from Town & Country Ford, and all of the parts and installations have, thusfar, cost me less than $150.

The truth is that it took two tough days of negotiating with the dealership to get the car to a price I could afford. And even with all of our sponsors' generous donations, I couldn't have afforded to have SVP Unlimited install it. The cost of installing the headers alone is out of my budget. I don't think I'll retire to The Bahamas for quite some time...

Yeah I knew that you got a discount on the car, I was just wondering how much it would be if someone wanted to go out and do it themselves . Anyways, hope everyone finds this imformative.

Yep, I know. But its winter break and I don't care about exams, and I can't drive, and its freezing outside. So I do this sort of thing.

What did Moses say when he came down off the Mountain top and saw what the Israelites had been up to?

HOLY COW!

I need to start my own #1 Mustang Web site so I can have a project car.

MSRP for the Halibrand Cobra III Wheels $263.00 each ~ Set price $1052.00 w/standard caps.

Looking into doing something with the Cobra III wheels that will save TMS members around 20% on the wheels in the very near future.
