That sucks . try this find an off road shop or even better try a race shop and buy a bottle of mud off and a one gallon plastic yard sprayer total cost is around 25.00 . this stuff is like armor all in looks and feel, but we use it on race cars and also the truck and trailer before long trips ,  bugs and tar along with road dirt wont stick . also use it every place under hood wheel wells every thing . it will save your hard work . we use close to 50.00 to wash the complete operation each week and can drop that by half with mud off and dont need to hand wash the wheel wells each week . if you leave your car uncovered in your garage it will stop over spray when using spray paint from cans .i hope this takes a little edge off your day

Jackie,
You can drive the heap for a while if you need to, you know where it is. You will need some help getting all the crap out of it with your back the way it is, but you can leave all that stuff behind & use the car.

Cars with Alaskan plates are immune to rain.  ;)

Hugs kiddo, it sounds like you need one or three.

Maybe a 604 OD tranny. Most of them fail from using the wrong type tranny fluid. The one from her Daughter's Daytona might be the same if they are both 3.0 V-6's.  ???

Sorry to hear about your problems again.  Seems that once they start they keep on happening to us.  I would be  afraid to ask if it could get worse.  Thing is that there is someone that is even worse off than you are right now. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development
