This one is springtime yellow and had the vinyl top. I know the front floor pans need replacing and the rear wheel wells and trunk have a few holes! Luckily, the guy included a brand new rear quarter on the driver side and an uninstalled on the pass side, patch for the front drivers fender,new drivers fender, new tail light kits, and new bumpers. all still in the wrapping!

As I've now said to about everyone on here, I'm jealous, Even though yours needs work, It's better than mine.(dont have one)However its not better than the one in my head.

That rust bucket is like the first day at a new job. You are ready to rock and roll and work your *** off. The problem is that you lose that initial desire after a few days or months, and the car sits in the garage without any attention being given to it for maybe years. Don't let that happen to you. Create a schedule for working on your Mustang and stick with it.
