Default New owner in Lawton, MI

I have recently aquired a 1982 Mustang GT from my brother who picked up the car for $125 as a roller with no rust which for a 1982 in Michigan is pretty outstanding. the car has a touch of surface rust which will soon be cured. main priority now is priming and locating a 5.0 and 4 speed manual which the car originally had. Also going with a 1990 GT style bumper cover. would like to build to about 4-500 horse eventually but am on a tight budget now. hopefully I'll find the knowledge I need here as I grew up and am still a Chevy guy. just appreciate muscle in all American forms.

Hi, I'm from Saginawful. How are you people finding good condition fox bodies in MI? Every fox I've come across around here has the 20-year rust-o-mod weight reduction package.
