Hello-
I am new to the forum and new to the mustang family. I have always been a fan of the foxbody convertible GT and dreamed of owning one when I was in high school. Never-the-less, too many other things came first; college, marriage, career, kids, new business, etc, etc.......
Anyway, I have two teens that aren't 16 yet. I want to make sure they can both drive a straight shift. This finally gave me the incentive (and an excuse with the boss
My goal is to keep the 302, but will begin to mod to add horsepower, so hopefully this is where you guys can help. Aesthetically, I have a pretty long "to-do" list so it will eventually be "show ready". Immediate goals are to start with the basics, such as a tune up and then work from there. I have added a new SR cold air intake and since the u-joints are shot, I'm going to replace the drive shaft with a new aluminum.
I am definitely a novice mechanic, but with a respectable amount of common sense. My first car was a 1965 4 door Chevy Nova with a straight 6; zero to 60 in 5 minutes. I have owned new cars now for the last 15 years, but really looking forward to many hours spent in my garage turning wrenches. It's like therapy.
Regards,
Kevin R.
