Hello, I have a 94 GT the brakes on the front and rear have decent life left, when I pull the parking brake it wont hold the vehicle on an incline and I can drive the car with the brake pulled all the way up with minimal but noticeable resistance. What should I look at to make this thing worth a shit. Thanks

It's adjustable but better to just replace it.

I'm with you I just wanted to make sure i wouldn't over tighten it i've never done this job before, after doing a search how many cables are on these cars??? Is there one to each wheel and then a small cable that connects it all?! (sorry for all the noob questions)

A common spot for the cable to stretch or break is the shot one that connects to the handle then goes through the floor and connects to the other 2 above the DS. It a PITA. to change with the DS installed but can be done.
You can see the cable if you remove the console box under the armrest. (the screws are hidden under the rubber bumpers)

It's definitely the cables... There's two long ones that run from one short one that connects at the console. The long ones should be easier to fix, but are more expensive and everyone says it's usually the short one.
