Default Guys, What should i do with this stang???

Guys, i just bought a 1995 yellow mustang GT 5.0 automatic with 77k miles, leather, mach460 for $4,000... I just did all the brakes today...

But still needs the following...

1. Possibly new rack & pinion steering (to elminate the "loose steering" feel which isnt really THAT bad" $500+
2 Needs new radio/cd $100+
3. Needs new Shifter cable $225 installed
4. Electrical work $200+
IMO... New rims & tires $1000
IMO... New exhaust... $800
IMO... Window Tint...

So i'll have about when all is said & done... about $7,000 into this car...

Or should i just turn it minus everything but the brakes for a profit?

1. Is $137.99 at Autozone, why the hell would you pay 500???
2. ok
3. Cable is a 34.99 to 64.99 at autozone, why do you think it's 225?
4. i have no idea how bad it is
rims...ok
exhaust....about right
window tint...about two bills for good tint

i still have yet to determin if its the rack & pinion, or the steering shafts & knunckles...

How can i tell, because the rack&p might be fine...

If it is the steering linkage and or knuckles, how do i replace them?

You know i've never actually changed that. I have changed the Rack & Pinion though, thats not too hard. just have a friend turn your wheels while you take a look at it.

Well i just determined that its not the rack and pinion... i put a wrench on the steering shaft assembly to hold it in place, had a friend move the wheel and the play is within the shaft assembly...

anyone know how to install a new Power Steering Shaft Assembly?
