I have been planning on getting a YZR600 after the first of the year, selling the Cougar in the summer, and getting a beater or truck for a daily driver. But today I happened across a deal.
One of the guys at work wants to sell his 89, LX, 302, T5, for $3000. Nothing has been done performance wise to the Mustang, except suspension. It needs a paint job, and has mad miles....but is in good shape. It was owned by a tech who doesn't skimp and cheat on his own stuff, so it's in great condition.
If I get the Mustang, I would keep the Cougar about the same time...until this summer. Then sell it for a beater truck. That would give me time to overhaul the engine, and what not. Being a 302, any mods are easy and can be done while keeping the car as a daily driver.
My goal would be to make it a 13.5-12.0, daily driver. Which is easy and cheap to do.
The only thing that scares me away is the fact that, I would have to find a place to work on it...leaving it at work for 6 months would be out of the question.
What would you do? Stick with original plan and buy a bike, and worry about building a fun car later....or skip the bike and go straight to the fun car?
