Default What should i do to my car next???

I have finally finished the major work needed on my 94 mustang gt, it has some small things with it but all things that i will get to eventually, i have a few options at this moment and i need some help choosing what to do, paint(had to buy new hood and bumper needs to be repainted), stereo(the kid i bought it from did his own wireing so now i get feedback through the system and the speakers suck), tranny/clutch(kid beat the crap outa it syncros are a lil shot and 2nd gear grinds above 1500rpms), suspension(sat for a few months suspension basically sucks no other way to put it), interior(seats and carpet are pretty nasty), or just bolt ons???

any advice of brands for any of these are more than welcome thanks guys

heads, gears. only mods worth a damn untill you change them.gears can knock almost a second off your et and make it funner to drive, heads can take around a 1/2 second off with good ones. grab some gt40's or gt40p's from a 302 explorer in the junkyard, there dirt cheap and worth around 35-40hp on a stock 5.0. cant imagine there more than $250 at best. a whole motor with the gt40 intake is under $500. throw some 1.7 rockers on it and you have a cobra motor.

all your normal boltons will give you 2 tenths, a stereo only impresses dorks,buy some apolistry cleaner and scrub like hell. you will be surprised it makes any interior look almost new. t5's come stock with synchro issues worry about the clutch when it goes. paint might be good but i wouldnt worry about it. with paint you get what you pay for.

i can put a stock 5.0 into the 10's for what a goodpaint job will cost.

The bascic bolt ons such as pulleys, cold air induction, full exhaust, gears, then do some suspension upper and lower control arms with new bushings, then save for heads cam intake swap. I am not into stereos the paint can wait so can the interior, get hood pins i it is aftermarket hood.
