Help for a NewB
I just recently purchased (won't have it home until tomorrow) a 1987 Mustang 5.0 GT. Mind you I didn't soak a lot of money into it, and its not a show car by any means- though I had wanted one for a long time, and have been looking for a 'bargain' if you would that would fit my budget. Living on the Eastern part of Canada, where salt is used on the roads in the winter, and so many people drive their cars all year around, at times its hard to find an older car, or truck for that matter without alot of rust damage. This car as I'm told by the seller hasn't seen winter for at least 9 years that he knows of. Looking it over, I was hard pressed to find any rust damage, which made me happy. It's definitely a fixer-upper, mostly cosmetic stuff, has the worst paint job I've seen in a while, but so far appears to be a solid foundation for me to build a fun car. One question I have is I have always been a stickler for keeping things neat and organized. my first goal is to go at the engine compartment and detail it, swap out old bolts, clean and paint what is needed, etc........ I am new at Mustangs, so I was wondering what bolts should I be looking at getting for different items under the hood, headers, exhaust, brackets, etc.... There are no speed shops in my area, but lots of industrial supply where I can grab bulk bolts, nuts, washers etc......... Is there a listing anywhere that has what bolts are used where on the car as a reference? Thanks in advance, and look forward from hearing from you guys
