    Flip this car!

    Well I pulled the trigger bought my first "for profit" project I will be tracking all cost so in the end we can see if there is anything to show for my blood and sweet.

    I spent $1300 and now own a 1998 Mustang GT. It needs paint a little body work, trans, rear tire, and a new owner! Only time will tell if I make or loose money. Wish me luck

    I can not figure out how to post picture from my phone. I uploaded one to my photobucket. Add $65 for towing service. (Cheaper than a new winch) Should I include the $16 for the roses I bought for my wife b/c I bought anouther car?

    Total
    $1365 or $1381?

    Agreed $1381

    Anyone know anything about transmission? (T-45) I was told it was "bad" when I bought it it fells like its locked up when in gear, and its hard to push in neutral (and makes noise) . I figure the 1st thing I will do is pull the drive shaft make sure its not the rear.

    I know most transmission guys charge too much - that's why I take good care of the trans guy I know that's good and honest!

    pull the drive shaft and make sure it's not the rear end - that's a brilliant first step, then pull the trans out and see how much play there is in the input and out put shafts, etc.
