IF you contact that guy be prepared for a low ball offer seems like fire sale trolling to me.

So I installed the 2 relays for the fans that were missing. I only had 2 bolts to attach them where I needed four. Tomorrow I will get 2 more. Although it currently did not help. So I also crawled under the car to confirm that the trans dip stick tube is NOT pushed inside the grommet like it should be. Tomorrow I will likely try to get it to fit. I will then look at installing some manual switches for the fans just so I can try and get the car on the road.

I removed and reinstalled the trans tube. It's installed all the way correctly this time. I also verified that the cooling fans work when supplied 12volts. I purchased some wire, fuses and switches. Now to wire them and then to see if the car moves under it's own power.

I am also considering dropping the price to $2250. I really could use the room in my garage.

It's a bit of a shame having an ongoing project like my Mustang. I've missed out on several good deals like this one.

So what's left? Two Bimmers and an Impala?

I'm all projected out. Next one will be turn key, with some mild bolt-ons in it's future.

The car is sold. So on Tuesday the guy comes to look at it. Well the car won't start. It started and idled the first time he looked at it. However he decided to buy it anyway.

Today he came and picked it up. We put some gas in it and it fired right up. We also took it off the rollers and it drove under it's own power. The parking brake also functioned. How many 3rd gen's have working parking brakes ?

Well I got tome cash in my pocket and an open space in the garage. One to cleaning up the 2003.5 M3 and selling it then maybe I will look for a possible running/driving flip for fall Carlisle since we have a spot.
