New Mustang owner from AZ here
Hey, everyone, I'm Bobby. I'm 18, and from Phoenix, AZ. I am buying an 89 Mustang LX hatchback Friday, so I joined here because I am sure I will need some advise.
The car has no engine, tranny, or front seats, and I need new brakes and a rear end. I am not very familiar with rear wheel drive setups, as my previous 2 cars were a 1986 Honda Accord and a 1999 Mercury Cougar. I got in a situation with my parents, who co-signed on the car, and they took it from me, and told me not to contact them. Its a long story, and I don't want to bore you guys.
I am getting the car for $300 from a co-worker who has a 92 GT.
What I mainly need now is to get pointed in the right direction for what websites are the best for parts, as I will need a lot. What I am looking for is high-performance parts. I am planning to stick with a 5.0, as I want to keep things as relativley simple as possible.
Well, I hope to talk with the rest of you on a regular basis, and wish me luck on the project!!
