No one I know of or have ever heard that wrecked theirs. Thats not a bad deal at all for the Damage done to it. I Could fix it all for a Few G's and it look good as new 
Apagan01 are you looking at buying this to rebuild? I do some of this area of work and no a bit about this place. Helped a Friend rebuild his VW R32 he bought from there. I would love to pick this up personally if I wasn't in school and had time to rebuild it. Most expensive parts is Straightening the Damaged radiator support, replacing the Headlight and Air Bag. Other than that all can be sourced out for pretty good deals usually
PM me if you have any more questions or concerns Always willing to help out where I can

yeah i called the place and it looks like the car was from arizona, but he first had said it was from CA, the guy did not seem easy to deal with,, he did not want to take a video to show me the car ran like he said it did.

it was they way they were pushing the cars. accelerating strange. Made a care smoke. Im not sure if that was the cars problem or theirs. Also, they were all getting some low numbers. They have a mustang dyno. which has been the one ive been doing mine for the last few yrs. I got 340 whp with meth. But that was in cali. Not tuned for high altitude.
Was a bolt on car.
Not anymore
Any guesstimates on whp?

What Boost and What Dyno?
anyone one here know how to go about degreeing cams? I've read that for the most part people just mess with the cam gears on the dyno and figure out what works best with the set up. Is there a way to just make sure that the cams are phased correctly?
Then you have to take those numbers and get an dial indicator to tell you where the top dead center is on each lobe relative to the angle you've moved the cam.
I'm sure with a large degree chart wheel, a good dial depth indicator, and some patience you could figure it out.
The easy news is each set of lobes are offset on our cams at 90deg. from each other.
Let me know your setup. I'd be very interested of at least checking my Comp Cams before stuffing them in.

The first trick is finding what angle from TDC the dowel pin is located at on the cam.

Comp grinds their cams to make best low end torque. Don't do anything with the exaust cam & you can pull up to around -4* from the intake cam for more top end power....honestly though the car will more than likely feel best with the cams installed straight up...thats usually where I have mine set
EDIT: Comp claims stock springs are fine...i would strongly recomend upgrading them.
