I BOUGHT MY CAR!
We had it looked at by 3 people, all very knowledgeable of classic Mustangs. (I made sure, I promise)
There was no rust on any of the floorpans, fenders, cowl, andother important places, and all feedback pointed to it being a very, solid,awesome car.
We ended up paying $8,500 and it's in the shop right now getting rear shocks, a brake upgrade, a new radio, 3-point seatbelts, a new grill, armrests,new door and window handles, new belts and hoses, a new power steering pump, and a new radiator. And I think that's it? hah.
It's Sauterne Gold, but it'll be playmate pink someday.
I bought some general auto repair and mustang specific books and I'm learning a lot. Cleaning out the garage before it comes home, and I'm going to learn how to work on it eventually.
And wow, this post is probably pretty pointless since I don't have pictures yet, but I needed to share my excitement. No one I know cares very much.
I'm so happy

Now we gotta teach Ya how to do some of that easy stuff yourself=more money to spend on the Stang
Easy stuff being at least; Radio, a new grill, armrests,new door and window handles, new belts and hoses, even the new rad isnt hard.
