Default My First Mustang

I hope i did good, i think i did very well, thisvehicle was wrecked in the front really bad got it for $800 with no fenders hood or nose. I got pieces from buddy and fixed few things and not to much wielding. $200 later this is what i have for $1k total, engine is supposed to have 90k on it and looks about right as i can tell its been replaced. Only pain in the rear thing i had to do was heater core. Everyhting is good so far but i need to replace clutch cable soon...

If anyone has any ideas in mods or just overall things i can do to this let me know.

Also the guy i got it from said with the exhaust and killing a pully on the belt system and k&n it's 250 flywheel HP does that sound right.

hahaha yes i did slop the front end pretty bad, one of these days ill fix it, it's just the metal was so bad from the wreck i need to do moremetal pullingon the underbody.

and from my original post i forgot to say what exhaust it has on it, from my own reseach and obvisouly looking at it it's full length headers off raod h-pipe and flowmasters, it sounds great..
