Default New here check out my Stang

Hey guys, I recently purchased a 1988 Mustang LX 5.0L HO, from my Uncle who happened to be the original owner, it's got 180,000km (105,000miles). Anyway I got a steal of a deal on it because he is mechanically illiterate and thought because the strong arms for the hatch didn't work anymore, and because one headlight was full of water. Anyway $1000 dollars later I was the proud owner, and it only cost 110 dollars for new strong arms and headlight. I almost felt bad buying it off of him for so cheap, but I am not complaining. Anyway I am fixing up the little things, and then I am going to save up some money for rims and tires, lowering kit, subframe connectors, and paint job (forest green with white racing stripes). Tell me what y'all think.
