sooo bummed..

don't think i will be able to finish my car... i just don't have the money for it, its gonna take like 7k min. to get it done right, and at 16 i just can't do it, i just can't.

it just hit me that i can't do this, theres so way, i just can't afford it. god, this is just like everything else in the world, you get so close to something before it gets riped away, and i'm just about sick of it. i spent the last couple of years of my life just living for my car, and no i know that i can't have it. even if i do finish her i will never beable to afford the insurance/gas.. god i'm so sick of this... if i have to sell her (which i dunno what i'll do) i'll have to get a 5.0 i guess... man.. god damnit.. i don't know what to do.

Hate to hear that man but really look at the bright side 5.0 is no bummer for a 16 year old. Your young you'll have pleanty of time to get a nice car so dont worry to much sorry to hear it though

yeah man i'm 16 too.. i faced that early in life with my civic... so i'm gonna stick to a civ until i get 50k or so ( yeah i know, its a long shot) for my Inf. G35. But save the money u get on top of the 5.0 and invest it so u can get the car faster...

wait wat do u have and wat do u want? i got my fifty wen i turned 16 and now im 16 and shes hella modified!!! get a job man! i do, i have ...but i am mexican and we are working people, but yeah bro just get a job and work some good hours to earn ur pony! i work 29 hours a week at a grocery store while going to school! u can too! do it u cant let a 5.0 slip away!!!!!!!!!

well i've decided just to suck it up and go along for the ride. its all gonna work out i think.. either way i still have a mustang. just gonna be one hell of a time. oh well. thanks guys

its a 67 mustang. i'm restoring it. i did work, but i lost my job becuase of it closing down for the winter.. long story short they started up and i didn't get a call... looks like i'll have to work anyway i can.

Are you lost? Or are you just looking to stir up shit?

i agree. Tacoma man you do realise you're posting in a mustang forum??? i mean damn thats pretty cold :p not to mention totally unnecessary and irrelevant to the topic.

Rerun, work for it and keep the 67 mustang, that thing is a thing of beauty when fully restored. Just coz you don't have the cash for it now then store it if you can and buy something cheaper for the time being. 16 is sooooo young, damn if i had a 67 mustang in any condition when i was 16 i'd be the happiest man out there even if i had to take the bus to work for a few years because i know that in the end when its all done and i finally build it, it will be the sweetest thing out there. This may sound mean :p but, the sacrifices you make now will only make you love your car and appreciate more in future when you do finally get it done :p trust me on this :p ask your parents if they'll let you store it with em and buy another car for now as i suggested.... good luck bro.

Look at it this way, I'm 44 years old, at 40 i got to expeirience what you wanted at 16, now it's done, its over i'm selling it and moveing on, the memories are something i'll charish forever. Hang in there slick your time will come.

thats extreamly true.. man i forgot how stoked i was that first day when she got here.. damn.

thanks guys, last night was a rough night for me and my money problems with my car wasn't exactly helping any.. not to mention that i live 2000km from all my real friends. i'll get fel done, just not liked i hoped as soon as i hoped.. but i guess everything just caught up with me. hell, i've never really ever been in a "real" car. it will be all worth it first time i get on that 425hp 289 at 6.5k though.. man oh man...

oh yeah baby, now thats the spirit :D you know what you should do, you should go and get yourself a poster of a 1967 mustang and hang it on your wall as a reminder of what the possibilities are for your car. Thats way you'll always just look at the poster whenever you're feeling down and you'll realise why its worth stickin to :D

thats a good idea, actually i got an original sales ad from a time mag. from 67, stock mustang, but a damn nice car. i ment to hang that up for that very reason before i started into it, but somewheres a long the way i forgot.

hey, whats do you guys think of the crager 390s on my 67? (gonna be gloss black) http://www.cragarwheel.com/images/products/390_15inch.jpg

What style of 67 do you have?

coupe. all gloss black.

those would look great on your car

Hang in there man, I've had those days too. I'm 19 now, got my '69 coupe when I was 17. Right when I got my car, it seemed to run a little rough, so I pulled the heads.. the piston walls were really scuffed.. needless to say, I spent all my money rebuilding the engine, then I spent all the money I made on my summer job on having my transmission rebuilt(the first day I had my mustang running decently again after I rebuilt the motor the transmission let go.. that was a bad day.) After installin the new tranny, I tried to start it - the wiring somehow shorted and the starter wouldn't stop cranking. At first I thought it was a faulty starter, so I replaced that.. didnt fix it... So the only other thing it could be was the wiring. Now, I'm just completing rewiring the entire car(every single wire.).. Then I get to build a new dash and install my new guages... Then I get to start it! The car has never been running for more than a week straight. I bought the car August 14th 2002. I have gone broke too many times to count. Oh and I just figured out a week ago that my rear differential is completely shot and causes bad vibrations at speeds over 30mph, so I have to get a new diff. I'm just getting a spool at this point, I cant afford any kind of Limited Slip(wouldnt get one anyways though) and a locker is too annoying around the corners. I'd rather have chirping tires. So yeah man... Its a long very hard road, but I love it. I could never sell my car... I have too many projects lined up for it!
