Default 1978 Mustang II Ghia Pictures

Here is my new car.I just managed to pick this up,and it's in pretty good condition (atleast for this area).

My end goal is to build a nice street car.Needs some motor work.And some body work..

But other than that-I am looking for suggestion on this project.I would appreciate all the help possible on locating items to complete this project...

Thanks everyone.And here is a few pics.Sorry about the quality...

Thanks.

It has some rust that can be seen.And the major rust it does have is an easy fix-Just have to replace the bumpers.I'm not sure if it's all original,so some help their would be great.

I managed to find this jewel for $2500 which is a steal in my area.

Just ditch the orange-plaid front seats for some nice aftermarket black buckets, and have the rear seats recovered in a similar black material, and that thing would have a WICKED interior.

It seems to be in pretty good shape from the pictures, nice find.

Thanks-
I like the idea of the black seats with that interior-I believe that would make for a great combo.I'll really have to consider that now...

Thanks.
I was actually advised not buy this car for a street project.But after seeing the condition in person,I'm glad I made the decision to pick it up.It certainly has it problems.But with minimal money and alittle hard work-I believe it will turn out really nice.
