Swapped cars with my son

My son's '04 Mustang was in the process of being reposessed, so I took out a loan for the remaining loan balance and traded my Versa for it.

My Versa was paid off, so we went to the DMV and signed it over.

The title for the Mustang is in collections, so It'll be a couple of weeks (hopefully) before it's registered in my name.

The Mustang needs some help and I was pretty much finished with the Versa, so my wife suggested the swap.

My son gets out of the loan and a new(ish) low mileage car with a back seat that'll work for my grandson.

I get a tripple black convertable another project.

Right away, I replaced the battery cables as the negative had corroded beyond service. I'm ordering parts for engine work since I have a coolant leak at the intake manifold.

Also, my son had clipped a pole while reversing smashing the left-front of the car. A new bumper cover (Cobra style) and fender are on order.

I've also been working with a local tire shop and will be fitting the car with a staggered wheel set, 9" wide in front, 10.5" out back.(!)

Beyond all of that, lots of small dents and scratches throughout most likely will require a total re-spray, but that'll come later.

So I'll remain an active member, but am joining mustangforms.com (user name, slipperman).

There's SO MUCH aftermarket support for this car! This will be my third Mustang, the first a 1967 I bought in '78, and a '80 Turbo I bought new (turd motor!).

I've also had a couple of Torino's, a Maverick, and a ZX2 Escort, so I'm not new to the ford oval.

So thanks to all for the great support I've had tweaking my Versa! It now lives on as a family car for my son and his growing clan.
