A stoner kid from Eastern Iowa huh? I think I actually talked to that guy before ... I live in North Eastern Iowa and there is very very few P5's around. I'm pretty that's the one I saw one day so I tracked him down and talked to him. Good job on the rebuild, you definately know what you're doin.

that's totally awesome, man. I have a lot of respect for guys like you. i would've looked at that car in the salvage yard and saw "parts"...you, on the other hand, saw your next car. props to you and welcome to the forums, it's a great place.

That was a good job.

I got a really good deal on the wrecked P5 $1450 (the guy that was the middle man was a friend of mine) and the front clip was $2200. I saw one that was hit in the front like mine and in the rear sell on eBay for $3800. When I was done with mine I had around 55% of the bluebook value in it. KBB put it at $10,310. Mind you I had to do a lot of digging for parts I found a transmission from Canada for $450.00 shipped that had 13k miles. I have been working on wrecked cars, trucks and vans since I was 10 yrs old. Mostly GM stuff my dad didnt like the Fords or the foreign ones. Not as easy to work on (so he says) lol. It was a side job for both of us since then I have fixed around 30 of them. I am 24 now, still a pup I know for a mechanic. Not as many in the last few years going to school at ISU.
