Hi from yet another new guy (pics added finally)
Hey everyone, I am the new owner of a 1980 hatchback with the 2.3 n/a in it. A friend at work was trying to get rid of his parts car (only took some of the interior) and told me I could come haul it off for scrap and keep what I got from it.
Once going over the car I quickly realized that I couldnt scrap it, other than the the interior the only items that need some work is a new motor and some paint. I quickly put aside thoughts of just throwing in a motor and driving it out the window. My plans are to do a custom resto job on it, I want it to appear stock with just a few subtle touches.
I'll be doing a good bit more reading and searching, and will prob go ahead and appologize if I ask any stupid questions. All my mechanic expertise has involved either aircraft or 4x4's, so I'm pretty new to the stang's.

RE: Hi from yet another new guy
Thx for the welcome. I will have to find where my wife has hid the camera, as we have 3 little ones that love playing with it. I'll warn you before hand that she, the car, is a bit rough around the edges, I have already started gutting the interior so the onlything left on the inside is the dash and steering wheel heh.
