Default Apologies! (Modification)

This is what I meant
Modification, Stock or original?

Is it possible?
a good question to ask the forum because it's hard to get an opinion from one person or mechanic.

What will it do to my car?
another good one for experience.

What will it do to the value of my car?
I don't even know what my car is worth.

Is it better to get another car?
several members have told me this.

What are you going to do in the future?

Quality of parts?

I am considering this because I have an intake manifold leak
May even have a Renegade for sale

a good question to ask the forum because it's hard to get an opinion from one person or mechanic.

What will it do to my car? It will make it Originally Modified
another good one for experience.

What will it do to the value of my car? Adds about a buck /83
I don't even know what my car is worth.

Is it better to get another car? I would recommend a 1973 Pinto Station Wagon (shhh- the new quite Classic)
several members have told me this.

What are you going to do in the future? I'm now heading to the Doctors office for this sudden Migrane

Quality of parts? I think this thread just shot all my parts

I am considering this because I have an intake manifold leak
May even have a Renegade for sale
Is there going to be a quiz on this?

I was a little wishy-washy on the taco. I was actually leaning towards pie. I like pie.
