Slow repair of Exp
That would be the goal, to get it drivable and pass inspection. Right now the rim and tire are gone and the axil was pushed forward w/ the spring bent. This makes it undrivable. My goal would be to get these done first then the body work for the panel w/ the rocker panel and painting.(This part...- ImhotepMD

Should I get the New Sport Trac
The reason I had to cosign is my mom had bad credit and not a high paying job. Currently she is in an assisted living center, so I don't think that anyone would refinance in her name. If only I could get it in her name I would be clear. I think I'll try to refinance. Thanks for everone's help...- ImhotepMD
