Hey everyone, this is my first post on stangnet but I was referred here by another good car community. I just picked up a 2002 GT coupe for five grand, a modest but so far thoroughly enjoyable investment into the proud mustang heritage.
As you might guess from the price, the car I bought is a bit of a fixer upper. The car GOES (boy does it go!), but it needs new rims, new tires, new seats, and body work. It looks like the previous owner was not super great about... avoiding things. What I need to do first is fix the drivers side fender (the body piece immediately left of the hood, I hope I'm calling it the right thing), the passenger side body piece that's immediately below the door (don't ask me what happened here, I can take pictures if you want, I guess the guy got the car stuck up on a curb or something?), AND the front plastic bumper --I'm sure it's not really the bumper but it's the fascia that covers it and surrounds the head-lights and fog-lights... I hope you all know what I mean. The part of the car that would hit you first if it ran into you, which HOPEFULLY isn't what this guy did, but he definitely hit something.
You can probably tell I'm not really much of a car person, as I don't really know what all those parts are called, but are there good places online you all would recommend for SN95's? I could go with a body-kit if it's cheaper and replaces all those parts, but I like the stock look and most kits wouldn't fit well with my employment and, I guess, personality.
Thanks everyone, this looks like a great place.
