Hello, I am interested in making a 1st generation mustang my DD, a 70 to be specific. i know this sort of question has been asked alot but i was wondering how will it serve me as a daily driver.
I understand Safety and Reliability are the biggest issues. Safety is pretty much self explanatory, but was wondering if someone could elaborate on reliability issues.
I keep hearing about how being "handy" with a wrench makes 1st gens easy daily drivers, but what exactly does that mean? I dont know how to do anything with a car besides changing oil.
Could someone give me some examples of the reoccurring problems im likely to have? And am i likely to notice these problems before they happen or will i just walk out one day and the car not work?
I live in LA and have found some decent rust free 1st gens, however im a little worried about this "handy with a wrench" terminology, cause i am NOT handy with one...
Any help is greatly appreciated
