Thumbs up Boy is my customer going to be pissed

So as you all know I rebuilt a California emissioned Mustang last year, and when I finished up and gave her a price ( including a discount on labor and parts) she said she wouldn't pay. SO, the car has been sitting in my back yard for almost a year now with no contact from her, and I was just about ready to file for small claims until a couple of my customers who are mechanics came and and we talked about the situation and he said I have two options.

1. ( I have to apply for a business LLC at least) put a mechanics lean on the car, but to me that doesn't do much since her enthusiasm ( spell check) has left the car in my yard for over a year now. she would NEVER be able to register it till I get paid adn remove the lean. pro is I'd get all my money, con is I may never get my money lol.

2. Apply for a salvage title since it's been abandoned on my property for 90+ days . Hell, it's been there a year, and 6 months of no communication from her. It will certainly hurt the value of resale unless I part it out, but if I can get rid of it, whatever, I finally get my money. The best part is any Tom, Dick, and Harry can do this.

Best case scenerio, I get the 2500 I would want for it, which is what covers the time, parts and a little bit extra, worst case is I get for just the parts, but either way I get my money back and I get this thing out of my yard!! I have so much on my plate but this has been a major stopping force for me to fix my ranger, and other stuff done.
