[DeTomaso] 5.4 conversion on BaT

This one sort of got me at "bubbled paint", turbo parts they can't 
figure how to fit and make work, ECU that needs tuning to run correctly 
even without the turbo, mouse fur seat covers, an original engine core 
that needs machining and rebuilding.  Now I am one of the first ones to 
put 60k into a 20k car, but I expect to loose money,  He just hasn't put 
enough money and time into the car yet to make it a 50k car.

I have done it before and still have a 95 Mustang to prove it. Just not 
willing to take the loss yet.

   50K is dirt cheap for a semi ratty unmolested Pantera, this one wasn't
   ratty, but it was far from original...No Sale.

     I donA^1t see $73K in work done, but I see at least $20K remaining
     to make
     it really nice.
