So... Where'* the ford guys?
Somehow or another my brother is a Mustang lover. I don't know what happened. He'* found a '00 V6 that he wants, I'm supposed to go bless it Sunday afternoon. Wtf am I looking for? These things do anything stupid? Headgaskets?
I assume it'* a slushbox so I'm guessing it'* not too fast. Which is good, He put my Bonneville off the course so much at AutoX I almost got kicked off the track.
Here'* everything I know so far:
2000 V6 Coupe, Pull-Me-Over Red, 90K on the clock, and a sound system that is "badass". True duals, Hi-Flow cat, some sort of "performance" tires...
Here'* the kicker, The guy told him $7K. It'* not getting my blessing for over $5k. Ever. Now remember, If I bless this thing, I'm also the mechanic that has to fix the f'n thing, So please tell me if there'* anything I really don't want to fix. I'm trying to read mustangforums.com but It'* a little slow going.

I believe they are known for head gasket issues. MyLittleBlackBird had to do head gaskets on his old '94 V6 T-Bird, and it had a 3.8. I believe it'* still the same basic engine. I could be wrong, though.

He left a note that the guy would bring the car by Saturday to put it on the lift and check it out entirely... He seems pretty excited about it.
