I realized that i lost the bug. I just want to drive.. not diagnose, not build not anything. that's why 99FLYER is for sale. I feel like im giving up a beloved pet but the truth is I dont have the time money or drive to finish it. I hope someone here buys it before it goes to craigslist. its in FordSale. I first got the car since early 2000 so this was an emotional decision.

Roll it into the garage, put it on jackstands, cover it well and forget about it for awhile.


It will come back to you.

why not just spend a little money and send it to a shop? If you're attached to it, and it seems you've put a lot of time and money into it already, you really should just fork out the extra bit of money and find out whats really going on with it.

Think of it this way...if you spent $5k on it already for the motor/tranny swap, then spent another $2k to get it diagnosed and fixed, you'll at least be happy! If you sell it as-is, you're in a lose-lose situation. [patriot]

Thanks guys for the support, but it's off my radar, no regrets. I have an 06 GT that's a great car for where I an in life. The 99 goes to highest craigslist offer this weekend. I'll probably be selling the GMC Motorhome too. I replaced the engine in that, which was a TOUGH job... I don't doubt I can fix this car, I just don't want to anymore. I'm over it. BUY IT!!
