Hey there,
New to Mustangs, not to forums. Bought a project from a local kid. 90 2.3. to his credit kid put some money into the car and just got fed up I think. I always liked the Notches and the price was right.

She is a 20 footer for sure

Good:
Brand new tires all the way around
New brakes (rotors/pads on front, New drums on rear)
New clutch(UNK Make), throwout bearing, cable and dogbone,
Clutch adjuster and quadrent(SP)
New fuel pump
New windshield

Bad:
|Cosmetic Crap|
Crap paint (like a matte red can job?)
Aftermarket sunroof no seal
Bondo cracks found in a few spots
Rear pans completely rusted from seat bolts back to curve. Thanks sunroof! (has new floor pans sitting over rust just not welded)
All front parts are white under red I think the car was hit in the front in a past life, some of the bondo is in a large dent in the cowl pan like the hood caved it from impact.
Pull me over headlight covers.

|Mechanical Junk|
2.3 Starts but doesnt stay running, good compression. (think its fuel related)
Clutch isn't working. (improperly installed I believe maybe a flipped disc idk)
Weird electrical gremlins ie No Dash Lights, gauge failures speedo issue yadda yadda.
Kid installed an electric fan to a toggle, and in the process punctured the radiator.

Im just here to lurk. May start a small fix it thread if I get stuck.
