Hey all, my friend has a 69 Mustang, that was in really good shape. Well, his father took it out today, and (it was raining) when he got on the throttle getting on the freeway he spun the car out and hit the wall.
So... the front right fender is wasted, the shock tower ripped open, one of the fender braces buckled the firewall a little, the engine was pushed back, steering is messed up, the front right rim is bent, leaking air. The front bumper is bent, and the front aprin is gone.
The car does have a brand new engine, (351, very modified) and a rebuilt C6 tranny. But the front end is pretty rusted (Where the front frame comes out of the body), infact, we were told it could actually split in half!
Is this car worth fixing? What would be involved in this? How much is the front fender extension? I was told it is around $500 alone!
And last but not least, does anyone have any Mustang parts for him? I know this is a Cougar board, but I've noticed a few of you have Mustangs too. And I know Steve goes to the junk yard quite often.
Thanks!
Chris
