Well, I'm not sure exactly where things stand with my car right now. My mechanic told me it needed new brakes all around and a front suspension rebuild. Well, I ordered a PST Polygraphite front end kit, and decided to get the scarebird conversion. Well, he couldn't get one of the torsion bars out, so I had to order him a tool from Mancini. After that, the torsion bar snapped coming out, so I ordered a set of .880 Firm-Feel bars, which were on backorder for almost a month...they didn't inform me of this. Well, I decided with all this going on, why not just add the front sway bar, and leave nothing out. My mechanic received the sway bar, and claimed there is no way it can go on. He also mentioned that this would be a good upgrade if I switched to a Mustang II front end...I've not heard of such a swap on an A-body...not without massive work. In short, he refuses to do anything else to it, as the amount of things being done would put him in a bad position due to possible liability. He also explained how torsion bars work (I know they do the job that coil springs would in most cars), but also that they do the job that a sway bar would. I haven't heard that last bit, but I'm thinking he's quite mistaken. Anyway, this is a long/rambling post, but did I screw up royally by leaving my car with this guy for the last...three months?
