Was having issues with the clutch came around a turn in 4th slid, couldn't down shift ended up over correcting it and lost it into a few trees. Had to be gravel on the turn or something cause I knew the turn very well. Would post pictures but I don't want the negative attention after all this work.

Man I'm sorry to hear this. After all that work to have this happen really sucks. What kind of transmission do you have? If its a stick I have a stocker you can turn in with the car so you can keep and sell a built / upgraded one.

Yea I'm going to move on, looking at a used 335xi BMW as a daily. Just going to just focus on building my fathers 67 Eleanor and school for a while then take on another project of my own. Loved the car unconditionally, spent prob close the 30k on her and an un imaginable amount of time in a shop working every day but shit happens at least I'm ok, my passenger was ok and the engine bay wasnt destroyed.



Like I said EVERYTHING is for sale let me know what you need I need the money.

Thanks man. Don't tell to many people around here, one kid snapped a picture of it on the flat bed and threw it up on insta gram and I want to strangle the kid dead. Trying to keep it low key cause unfortunately it was well known and had alot of haters. Don't want to give them the satisfaction.
