Hello from the UK
I'm not an owner but I've agreed to help my friend restore his 73 Mustang.
I'm beginning to think we need more than hope too, but as with all things while she sits in one piece (more or less) she can be fixed.
I'm hoping to make some contacts on here to help us, its going to be a big job and as you might appreciate parts are not so easy to come by in the UK.
Many body panels have been replaced already and as it came from a US airbase in Poland where she spent most of her life, you might imagine the state she is in. The engine was replaced with a 351, not sure whether its a Windsor or cleveland.....I'll have to check with the owner.
Anyway I plan on documenting the restoration, and its a long term one due to lack of funds, I'm hoping this place will become invaluable to us for those awkward bits.
