Guy on local board has Mach for 2 weeks and in a lapse of attention runs a redlight and t-bones a Volvo...

Body shop says they can fix it... but everything from the shocktowers forward is pretty much trashed.

It can be done.
Mine had both front inner aprons forward of the towers, core suport, etc.
replaced, and she's perfect.

It's a hand-built, FRPP Cobra crate motor and trans in that car.
Valve covers came with it, along with a host of other things.
Should get my Blue Mach finished now,
and proceed a bit on Project "R".

Wow that's some transformation.

Hard to believe it's even the same car. How does it handle?

Well, I would strongly recommend using a paste on this one, rather than your typical liquid wax.

Thanks.
She's a great car.
Hand built.
20 city/28 highway
284/290 RWHP/Tq.
I hope the new owner takes care of her.
I hope that blue Mach on this thread makes it out ok.

Handles like a dream it dont start feeling unsafe till about 140ish but other than that turns on a dime i have rebuilt it to Factory specs so its like it was never wrecked other than the salvage title

My blue Mach drives better than most of the non-wrecked ones I have driven.
Salvage title on it also.
Mostly hand built now could be why.
