Default New driver need help on a fox body restoration

Hey mustang forums my name is jonathan

Im 18 just got my license. Looking to have a fox body 87-93 either a lx or chp(hatch/notch). I just need tips and guidence through out my restoration. Im not too focused on the engine right now since i dont have that much money to spend. All im looking for at the moment is to have a nice clean ride. Reason why im choosing a fox body is because it seems like its a good first car always dreamed of having one if i get a chp i wouldnt mind having 4cylinders because of gas prices nowadays and pops wouldnt mind driving it around ther block every now and then.

I need help in the calculation and what kind of brands i need.

-full leather upholstery
-new carpets
-new dashboard
-soundsystem
-rims

Im looking to invest 4500-6000 since i know 1500 is going into the soundsystem

I want my car to be black/black on chrome 20"-22" all around

WELCOME TO MF'S

Check out the 5.0 section or 4 cylinder section or general tech section.
This is more of a greeting section.

You would be a Fing idiot to put 20 inch rims on a foxbody.

Welcome to the forums anyways. Just don't make it look like rice.
