Hi, i have a 1994 3.8l v6 mustang
Along time ago my parents separated an my dad left me the car and it has sat in the garage for 4 years now.
It has only been driving in 2 winters when i was younger. And so the body is in great condition.
Well first things first the car has a SEIZED ENGINE.
How much would it be if i brought a car to a shop and they installed a remand engine and tranny,basically everything expect exterior body stuff and interior stuff.
What would you do if you were in my situation.
PS the car is latterly not movable me and a couple of friends tried to rock it and it is frozen still. How would you get it to a shop thanks.:confused:

It will be expensive to tow it to a shop and get a new engine in there. You may be able to unseize the engine by pulling out the spark plugs and putting a capful of oil in each cylinder. Let it soak into the rings for a day or two. If it did start turning over, I wouldn't trust it for an extended time as I would be suspicious of the bearings.

P.S. when I'm not stuck here at college I live in North Royalton right on the Parma border. I'd be more than happy to come by and help if you ever needed it.
