Default what do you guys think

i recently bought my first mustang, first car even. Ide just like to know what you guys think, and if i got a decent deal or not. First off i paid 3300 for the car, has a brand new paint job on it. 70k miles on the engine, which is from a 1985 mustang. The body was taken from a 1983 mustang gt. As far as i know everything is stock except for h-pipes.



sorry i have a peice of junk camera so the pics arnt that great as it was dusk when i took them

what should be my next steps, as in making the car as fast as possible, but keeping it also a road worthy car. My budget is in the 4-6k range on this thing so keep that in mind.

I was going to say the same thing I'm not exactly sure how the stock 85 suspension is, but you may want to replace a few pieces there at first.
