1)Fix everything that is bad or leaking. Buy a Chiltons or Hayes Mustang repair manual at the parts store. Pull the wheels on one side & inspect the brakes. Go over the car with a fine tooth comb & make it a solid driver.....
2)Find as many tech articals as you can on the web & in older fox-body Mustang magazines like MM&FF. www.fordmuscle.com has some great foxbody articals (project car section).like,"How to run 13's the easy way", etc. Tech articals on every modification you can think of.
3) After arming yourself with some knowledge; make a plan. Make sure it is the direction you want to go. If you change course half way through; it'll cost you more $$$.....
4)Good luck!

Get yourself a brake bleeder kit and flush out all the old crappy brake fluid. I just got an 89 and the brakes were horrible, soon as i flushed the system they worked alot better.
