Hello all, glad to be a newbie at this great site. I am a Global Moderator over at www.elantraXD.com, my daily driver car, so I know how tired everyone might be of newbies here, but I do ask for your patience. I just purchased an '89 LX 4cyl Sedan which I plan on doing a complete makeover. I already have at my disposal a complete rear out of a '98 GT as well as front suspension and brake components. I have already got new(er) doors and rear decklid to replace the badly damaged components. I am kinda stumped as to how far I should go with this project. I have always wanted a Mustang and really this was the only way I could get one. Should I strip this thing down to nothing but a body and get it repainted? Should I leave in the glass and dash and tape everything off and paint? Should I just concentrate on mechanical stuff first and once the car is up and running, then go ahead and work on getting the body straight? Money is not that much of an issue because I am not working with any kind of deadline. 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or more, I will take as long as I have to have the car of my dreams. I just don't know if I would be happy with just putting a fresh coat of Red over the existing stuff and putting in a new drivetrain or going all out Metallic Silver or some shade of Blue with no body imperfections anywhere.
Sometimes just the sound of a 302 and some flowmasters are enough to give me a stiffy. Please help.
