I have been though quite a lot with this hunk of metal they call a mustang. If you don't want to hear about the love story of the mustang skip down to the next paragraph. It all started January 23rd 2012. My friend owned this faded Atlantic blue 1994 mustang GT that had a door mat as a center column because he didn't know how to use a welder and burnt the interior on fire and he burnt a hole in the car where the emergency brake handle use to be! I KNEW IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT! 
anyway after about a year of a lot of work on the car the rear-end blew up and the bolts snapped off in the heads so i ended up selling the car back to my friend who sold it to me because funds were tight. He owned the car for the past year and put in another stock rear-end and fixed the head bolts and got the thing running again but he never had a spot for it. SO one day i get a letter in the mail from a tow company saying i owe them money for a tow because my friend never registered it and i was the last owner of the car. I called my friend and he said he didn't have the money for the tow so if i pay the bill i can have the mustang back. IT WAS A SIGN FROM ABOVE IT WAS MEANT TO BE RESTORED! Now i have a MUCH better job and a 2 car garage to properly work on the thing so i agreed to paying for the tow. $300 later and a $200 tow to get it in my driveway its mine again and its time to be completely restored! What follows next is its current condition of the car and what my plans are for it!
Thanks for listening and enjoy!
Problems with the car the way it sits in my driveway:
Here are some pictures to share the joy of this thing!

- Alternator is shot, car barely start with a brand new fully charged battery and when it does start battery light is on.
- Clock spring is bad in the steering column. always showing airbag light and when you press both cruise control buttons horn beeps
- no a/c compressor but a/c lines are still there
- no air cone on CAI
- low oil sensor wire is cut
- suspension is old and shot, almost every bushing is cracked and corroded and spring insolators are missing on some sides
- clutch and throwout bearing is shot
- rearend is leaking fluid
- has a lot of dents and scratches and paint is peeling and faded all over the car
- driver side fender was replaced after hitting a tree and never painted so the top side is rusted
- interior rug is burnt and melted
- dashboard is cracked
- seats are torn and patched up with jeans
- trunk seals are shot and trunk interior doesnt line up so water gets into trunk
