Default Back in a Mustang again.....well kinda.

I just bought a 1968 Mustang coupe and im the 3rd owner!!!! After having to file bankruptcy and having my 02 Mustang GT and 03 Trailblazer reposessed ive got one of my dream cars. I payed 1700.00 for it and got a good c4 trans, a 460 block, new N.O.S. mirrors and a new dash pad. The only rot i can find on it without stripping it is the floor pans, battery tray and the back lower quarter panels, im sure theres more than that but thats all that can be seen. It was a strait 6 then the orignal owner swapped in a 351 windsor, now its empty and im not sure what i want to put in it. First thing i want to do is get it driving then start the body work this summer. Heres some pictures.

Awesome car!!
Did they use a stop sign to fix the passenger floor pan????
We are trying to get a '65 Mustang that is a basket case from my friend for $2000, but he has almost $2000 in new parts for it and I'm up for the challenge. It is a very solid car for the most part, he just got the parts to get it taken care of right.
Congrats, great score.
