Mystang66

I am doing a ground up restoration on a 1966 Mustang 6 cylinder to be a daily driver. I know body work, but much less about mechanical. I will have two helpers that are very mechanically inclined working with me.

I am trying to do this project on a reasonable budget. I am going to be using a donor 91 Mustang 5.0 to swap out the motor and transmission. I have a body that is rebuilt and ready to paint and a complete interior.

Now to my issues, I want to put a 8.8 rear end in the car and upgrade at least the front brakes to disc (possibly power brakes). I want to add A/C. I want to upgrade suspension and steering, possibly adding power steering or rack and pinion?? Again, I am making this a nice daily driver, not street machine or hot rod. I want a classic that is fun and comfortable to drive.

My questions are, with budget in mind, what are your suggestions for steering, A/C, suspension, brakes? What are some budget conscious options? What vehicles have parts that are interchangeable that I might be able to pull the brake conversion or steering upgrades out of rather than going with more expensive new upgrades??

Thanks for all that look at this and provide advice.
