It's somewhat uncharacteristic of me to actually think things out. I second guessed every car I have ever owned since the Cavalier and I can say with confidence that I won't have that issue with Joe's Mustang. I had an idea of what the Mustang should look like and how it should perform and also have car parts catalogs at my disposal online. I looked and am impressed with what I want to do.
Sally, my old 2001 'vert handled like she was on rails. Power up the wazzu, looks that stopped traffic, I remember getting thumbs up from other Stang owners and felt so accepted as part of a clique of fellow drivers who got the whole ideal Mustang conveys. I am foolish to think I will recapture the spirit of Sally, but I can do it in Roxie (Joe nicknamed his Mustang Roxie).
The Fox body Mustangs produced from 1979 to 1993 had the same suspension shared by the Ford Falcon and remained unchanged until 2005's redesign. Updates to the design are available in the aftermarket for reasonable prices. The Fox frame also gave the wheels 4 bolts instead of the standard 5 bolts on American wheels. There are conversion kits on the market that make the car a little more standard than stock. For just the two conversions, I am looking at around $2000 in upgrades to the cars suspension, no to mention the new wheels I will need.
Then it needs a new fuel pump. I'll just let the dealer take care of that one.
Basically, once IM done with her, she will corner like she's on rails, stop on a dime properly and look the part of a iconic symbol of freedom in driving.

Does this mustang have a 4 or 6 cylinder? If it does you should go with a tried and true 5.0 V8.
