She got a lil surface rust underneath. gonna get it sand blasted and rock guarded X3 coats underneath. is she worth puttin 6k into(New engine,rims,bodykit,shifter,ud pulleys, a tune, suspension, and 8.8 rear end) i payed 2000 for her. Canadian. but her kilometers are low and no body rust.

It's all in what you think. You konw your car best...so only you can be the one that really determines whether or not it's worth it. on the flip side, you can sell your car after you clean it up and use the $6,000 plus what you get for your car towards a new 6er or new gt.

Timmano · June 26th, 2007, 06:45 PM

i would but i still owe 4000 on her i will only be able to sell her for 2000ish. i knwo i said 200 but with the new tires and shot it cost me 4800.00$$ 800 just for the loan. so im rly only in 8k for a new one or i can do this one up.

Breakout · June 26th, 2007, 06:49 PM

i would take the money you plan on putting into it to pay her off. then save up for mods. It's a nice feeling to have a piad off car. Not that I would know...I have an 06 and 4 years left of payments.

El_Cangri · June 26th, 2007, 07:37 PM

pay it off so u dont have to rush on the payments..

MustanG_guy17 · June 26th, 2007, 07:58 PM

Sure why not? For 6k you should just do rims and performance

Onemanzu · June 27th, 2007, 03:34 AM

the only thing is if you go through all that don't forget to get a computer out of a 96 or 97 that way you will obd1 and all the proper workins for your engine and fuel setup...

i personally am going to keep my car till the wheels fall off... so i have no problem telling you to do it as long as you get your moneys worth out of it

Ole Yeller · June 27th, 2007, 06:55 AM

pay it off brother..... less debt = more happiness/more money for mods.

Ryan Paymaster · June 27th, 2007, 11:48 AM

I'd say pay it off and sell it. Go out and buy yourself a better platform to start on other than your current 6. Your looking to sink a lot of money into a car that will need a lot of work to ever truely be happy with it. Your talking body work and fixing rust on top of all the suspension, cosmetics, and performance. For the amount your going to sink into your 6 just throw yourself into more debt and pick up a 1999 GT or something with similar kilometers on the clock. I can almost guarantee that you could find a GT from that era for less than it is going to cost you to restore your old six cylinder to your liking. If you have a major love for the SN95 body, go for a GT in that era and find it even cheaper and then you'll have a ton of left over money for modifications. (Assuming your not out for cheap insurance I guess.) Shop around on your options before you leave a huge pile of money in your car. The best thing to do when putting your money into your vehicle is to have a plan and ask yourself will you be happy with where all your money went in a few years? Sometimes you can start modifying and in the end have no real goal or plan, and befor you know it your selling your car because your just not happy with it.

Pay it off a.s.a.p. and sell it is what I would do. That or save it for daily driving and buy yourself a project car in better shape to sink the cash into.

If that's what you wanna do go for it...6k seems like an undersyayement though

Timmano · June 27th, 2007, 04:25 PM

lol im workign away im clearing 2200 per week the car is being payed of b4 anything.

X6months = 22,000 bucks but i need alot of that money to move out and go to school. this car is worth putting 6k into since the rust is only surface rust. the auto shop here says for 300 bucks he will remove all the surface rust and undercoat the car good. i want new suspension since she hits hard and if i have ppl in her she becomes a VERY low rider lmao. im getting most fo the parts off a 97gt. Tranny,Rear end. for like 300 bucks. god i love knowing ppl just hope he still has em when i gets home in Dec
