Hey Guys,
First off, let me make it clear that I'm not a classic mustang expert or a mechanic, but I am an enthusiast who knows his way around a car. I currently drive an 08 Roush but I am looking for the project car of my dreams. I envision a car that needs quite a bit of TLC that can be the centerpiece of my garage and a source of something to do for several years. I wanted some suggestions on how to select a car and what things to look for/avoid. I understand the whole idea behind a resto-car is to fix it up but I don't want to inadvertantly purchase a heap that has no chance of ever seeing the road again. The only real major thing I can think of to avoid would be a frame that has been cracked, stressed, rusted, etc. Are there any other things I should look for? How much should I be willing to spend and for what condition? :scratchchin...these are the things I need your help on! :bigthumbsup Thanks in advance guys.
