my new mustang
im so excited! today i picked up my very first mustang, im 18 years old and had to save up to get this car, its my first. a 1990 5-speed GT. I put 1k down yesterday and had the seller put new seats in and fix the door sag, then today i went over with my dad and picked her up. fairly clean inside, power everything, straight body except for the driver side fender which is has got some bondo in it but its still wonderfull. overall it cost me 4000 and i think it was well worth it. But its got some stuff wrong with it... power steering doesnt work below about 15 mph, windshield wipers dont work, minor tranny leak, gas pedal sticks at full release, coolant or oil leak at intake manifold, and a minor exhaust tick near the engine. all stuff i can work on myself, cept the power steering. i dont know anything about that 
so if someone could clue me in that'd be cool.

RE: my new mustang
Looks pretty good. You got any future plans besides fixin the minor things ?
I'd get a hayness or a chiltons repair manual. They pretty much cover everything to fix. I got a hayness and it is pretty helpful.
