Where to start..
 
I just bought this 95 GT off of a guy who needed money for surgeries. I pretty much stole it for 2 grand, but he only wanted 25 hundred. The mess this thing is in is terrible, but pretty well kept on the outside.

I already put some time into cleaning it up but the previous owner took such terrible care of it. (ex: he owned it for 4 years and never changed the airfilter, only changed the 4 spark plugs he could reach, etc)

I aim to make this thing a monster but i have no idea where to start. I've thought either a k&n cold air intake or just get new headers back to an x-pipe.

Would you guys say that there is a better place to start? If so give me your opinions...

Cold air and exhaust would be good, you never know what is growing in that old airbox and inlet pipe;)

is it a 5speed, then I would say a short throw shifter
get a pair of subframe connectors to keep the body from flexing under acceleration.

+1 on the gears

oh yeah, 5 speed for sure.

um, i know you said that joking but i wouldn't doubt it one bit. you should have seen some of the stuff in the trunk!

gears, huh? give me some examples of what i should get. just to look around. i just want something that will be able to hold a lot in the future.
