Default Project Car Update

Well, i bought the car on Feb 27 and just got time today to go get a Uhaul and trailer to go pick it up. i paid $355 for the car on ebay... and i believe i may have gotten off with more than i payed for lol. Sure its got problems( gas tank door wont open, driver door has to be picked up to close, guages can be shaken, dents, broken passenger 1/4 glass, melting guages, falling off pieces, seats that wont lock inplace, and missing pieces-interior-), but it was dirt cheap, its all one color- and hey, whats a project car without problems?! It came with the engine BUT its not hooked up, it dosent have a battery, and has no radiator. So i'll ebay the engine (4 cylinders just wont cut it for me) and go from there. Its a blue 1989 LX Hatchback 4 cylinder automatic. But not for long... it will soon be a black 1989 lx hatchback v8 stick and so i dont get the "WORTHLESS W/O PICS" face...:

actually, I recently read that come companies are beginning to produce restoration parts for those old fox bodies. I would first try a reputable company like national parts depot. In the very least, they may be able to point you in the right direction.
