Well ford says it isn't totaled. The insurance might say differently still. But as I was checking on it and walking around the lot I stumbled onto a roush f-150. hmmmmm I love the front end and the ground effects. If at all possible I am going to have them install the roush bumper and side skirts. And since they will be replacing the whole rear end I am also going to work on 3.73s. I will also want the new tube grill that was on the roush. It was very nice looking 100x better than what is on there now. Also since I will be needing 2 new wheels might go ahead with the roush wheels too. But not the chrome. What do you guys think?

 

That sounds pretty interesting. The have Roush Cobra mustangs, Saleen Cobra Mustangs, why not a Roush Lightning. You might be a trend setter. I hope you take lots of pictures.

Hey, this might not turn out so bad afterall. I highly suggest asking them to do that. I really regret not talking to my insurance agency and body shop about doing those kind of 'since it was ruined replace it with this...' type mods when we hit that furrball. My friends were bugging me about it, but I didn't want to bug 'em about it. The worst they can say is no, so go ahead and a ask them!

1 last thing, that night I knew my Lightning was wrecked and told myself not to expect perfect bodywork, because I knew I wasn't going to get it without turning my hair grey first, but thats my humble opinion, and it took from Jan. 4, 2000 to March 10 to get my Lightning back.

I don't expect perfect but it had better be damn good. I roush lightning would be great and I don't mind being the first either. And of course I will take pics. My wrecked pics are being developed as we speak.
