keep the classic. it'll be worth more restored than an 03.

The lagzY please pay attention as you can get into trouble here you need to know that you are capable of working on the engine and everything unless you lack the mechanical aptitude. Get a chiltons manual for $18 for your mustang. Go through it and figure out whats wrong first.

It begs the question - what was your grandmother doing with a Muschero?

My Grandmother owns an SSR and a 1935 truck and some classic caddies.

Thanx alot Green I will do that, my dad was a real good mechanic and he helps me with my current car and he loves restorin pieces. Is there a place where I can just purchase a brand new engine and which would work for this car to make it beautiful. From what I know, there is rust problems throughout so I plan on fixin everythin. Thanx alot, any more advice is needed.

What to do about the trunk though...

More pics would be cool, but it looks like you have a good foundation there. Most people begin with (should begin with) suspension and brakes, so give that some consideration.

5 grand will get you a good paint job and take care of the body rust. So you see you are going to need a lot more money.
