Plan B:

Bu ythe rust bucket for a parts car
Buy a rust free 4 cylinder .
Rob the rust bucket for parts to convert the 4 cylinder.
Buy lots of Ban-Aids and aspirin; you'll need them...

What would be a fair price of its used as a parts car? Assuming transmission, motor, axles, wheels and tires are being transferred? Maybe a few other parts but interior looks trashed...

$700 still is a decent price. Try $500 to see if you get lucky.

I'm right in the middle of doing that exact thing myself this weekend.

You're piggybacking on an old thread, would you like for me to start a new thread for you with your two posts?

That way you'll get everyone's attention instead of the few that replied to this thread.

Sure! I will try to keep it updated with progress too. I cant rip apart much more of the floor until my new pans come in as I don't want to risk body sag

Give me a couple details about your mustang. It looks like a four eyed convertible.

this car is a 5.0 litre automatic with 155,000kms. doors and trunk are rough but the body is OK. Picked it up for a thousand bucks which in hindsight I might've gone a few hundred lower and the owner would've likely accepted it. Drivetrain is still in great shape it fires right up and is driveable. I expect it to take a few months to get it safetied and a few years to actually restore it.
