newbie here

Hello all.
I just bought a 1988 Mustang Lx Convertible 5.0. I want to it be a decent Project car. I picked it up already having some nice wheels, a shift kit and dual Flowmasters installed. I have pics of it up on my garage. The thing runs pretty sound though there is a bad leak somewhere in the power steering which I have to locate. Cosmetically it needs new ruber arround rear windows and athe convertable hardware. The interier is pretty worn and faded.

Idealing I'd like to have a nice muscle look to it. I will be hanging arround the boards here to get some advise on some things. I plan to enjoy my mustang. Eventually I'd like people looking at and hearing it to enjoy it too.

Thanks!

Welcome to the talk section. I see you met some of the talk posse.
Dman is incapable of keeping the thread on topic.

TP.. Toilet paper?

Welcome to the boards. If this is your first fox, look to the 5.0L tech section (technical index sticky) for a lot of good FAQ's

For almost all of your restoration needs you can look at www.50resto.com and www.cjponyparts.com by far my two favorite parts suppliers.

If the power steering is leaking I would check the steering rack. Peel back the dust boots and see if any fluid is in there because it shouldn't be. Make sure you clean around the area before you check so you don't dirt in thurrrrr.
