hello everyone.

sorry that my first post is a few over asked questions but i could use some help fast. i have to say you guys have a HUGE forum. i have a chance to buy a '90 5.0 with 93k for about $3000. the only problem is i would never purchase a car without doing research, so here come the newbie questions. once i get a chance to see the car what are some things i should look for? what are the most common problems with this car? and what are some of the best upgrades (cost to benefit). if you have anything else to add to a kid that doesnt know much about 5.0's id be grateful. thank you all for your patience with a 5.0 newb, all your answers will be appriciated. i'm searching and reading more about the car right now.

heres the link to the car. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...QQcmdZViewItem

first thing to do if you buy the car is to change those ricey wheels quick. second the cars respond well to gears and aluminum heads. depends what you want to do with her

see the rusty area to the right of the brake proportioning valve??? thats BAD!

chulooz

bolt on as in not taking days to install or taking extreme percautions. as for the rust mentioned exactily how bad is that? im 17(birthday today) and this car seems like a real nice deal, but if you say the rust is serious and will be problamatic how are repairs on that area?

jakeachy

i think its an alright deal, at 2300

chulooz

he said he was selling it for $3000 but i think thats still an alright deal, ill try to drop him anyways. anymore suggestions on the problems, modding, and things to look for??? thanks for the responses so far
