I was going to do the ypipe but I know I am going to snap a bolt and I just want it on there after having it for like 9 months or so. Then again they will be charging me $30 or so to put it on there. Ok, I will do that one myself, but I really don't want to mess with the rears and getting a spring compressor etc.

We have a big clump of some HUGE basswood trees, and one blew down the other day and now another one is down today. Wont be long before the rest blow down. But we are having them cut down.

That looks like fun! :crazy:
One good thing and one bad thing about the mufflers.
Good.....they aren't spintechs, they are magnaflows.
Bad....They are a 2 1/2 inch inlet.
I am assuming they can weld in 2 1/2 to 2 1/4 inch reducers?

The can probably actually open up the stock exhaust with an expander to bring it up 1/4 of an inch, as long as the tubing is thick enough. Otherwise reducers would work too.

With all those goodies on there, that is a nice deal. Almost worth it for just the parts.

Let me put it this way. Its not running, and is now sitting at the end of my driveway with a for sale sign about to go in it.:nonono: Im just sick of dealing with it. I cant take it anymore. The car has been a huge pain in the ass since day one and its a roach. Oh well. Live and learn I guess.

it is a 95....have fun with that one. :laugh:
It is somewhat odd that you'd have such problems with a 302 powered Panther. They're pretty damn solid. Perhaps yours was neglected prior to your ownership -- I'm sure you know more on that topic by now than I.
You're right about the experience part of it. I think we've all put money into a car that we somewhat regretted at a later point in time. It's part of being a car guy. Sometimes you gotta sell the beast and simplify your life.
