I say you better be a pretty good hand to bring that one back! You could find one cheaper than that one is going to cost to fix,even if it was free.! Unless it something special, then get it and sell it to someone who wants to spend a pile of money!

I'd say either part it out for a bit of cash or use it as a donor and look for something else. I just paid less than 1k for a 67 coupe thats 95% complete, starts up and sort of drives. It definately needs a complete resto and a lot of work but its at least all there. Put the 1000s of bucks your going to spend on a front end on that and put it towards something thats a bit better.

If you decide to fix it up more power to you and my hats off.

wow. that thing looks too far gone for most people. but, anyone could do it with enough money though. ditch it and find another one. you shouldnt have a problem finding one in WAY better shape than that and wont cost much either.

well turns out that the one i can get is well the worst mutang i have ever seen, all the frame front to back is rotten, i dont know what mustangs you guys look at but from what ive seen on ebay and stuff my mustang is in really good shape, you have to remember that all that sheet metal is new, it just does not have the front aprons. so if someone can find me another in the stl area lmk
