Some guy showed up at my house last night asking me if I happened to have a FMX transmission. How these strangers find out about my leftover parts stashed away in corners of the shop is beyond me. I guess I must have mentioned it to someone and the word finally got around to this guy who was looking for one. I wasn't really interested in selling it, but the guy offered me $200 and I couldn't help him load it up into the back of his truck fast enough.
After he left I decided that I'd invest the "unaccounted for" $200 into my '66. I thought about all of the little things that $200 could buy and started looking at the car... where best to spend the money? Since my car is "done", I had a hard time finding anything that really warranted replacement/purchase. I know that I'd better do someting with it quick or it will be absorbed into my normal spending and the car won't see a penny of it. I remembered that I'd repaired instead of replaced the windshield's LH side SS trim piece and it wasn't quite perfect.... and the wide lower trim pieces on the front grille surround have a couple imperfections, but as of this minute I'm at a quandry on what I'll spend the money on.
Does anyone else have this problem? I know that when I'm "not done" with the car, $200 goes pretty quick as it seems there are a 1000 items on the list.
So here's my question....
If you suddenly had $200 to spend on your Mustang, what would you do with it, and why?
