Let's see... according to my "notebook of stuff to do to the car" is need to:
1. Get an engine tune-up
2. Swap intake and Carb
3. Get a cooling system flush
4. Get a trunk liner
5. Replace window felts
6. Get original style floormats
7. Look into a center console
8. Repaint the air cleaner unit
9. Fix the aircon
There's some other minor things that haven't made their way onto there yet as well.

haha nice, i didnt even notice that . WOO HOO go me !!! 
Im going through mustang withdrawls though. I dont have a good place to keep it up here in West Chicago so it stays in Iowa between my grandmas house & my parents house.
so its 3 hours away. The most i can do is buy parts here and there and collect them till i go home next

Well lets see...
1. Get car out of shop (will post what all was done later.)
2. Pay off car.
While paying off car...
3. Get some Dynamat Extreme for my car so I can hear myself think.
4. Put down new carpet (since I'll have it stripped inside)
5. Deluxe Door Panels (since the other ones look like crap that came with the car.)
6. Get cowl fixed (to prevent leaks on new carpet)
7. Add A/C
8. Save and save and save to have it painted in a few years (once car is paid off)
In between that...
a. Drive it to a few car shows with my brother in his car (mainly the 45th Mustang Anniversary)
b. Decide what else I will want to do when the money comes around.
