    right now it's a stock 69 grande coupe 302 4bbl edelbrock performer manifold, flowmaster exhaust kit

    the interior is wrecked... but i'm going to hold that off till last

    suspension - i'm thinking of one of the full kits - i dont mind the way it handles for the driving i do with it - but the rotten bushings and worn out parts need replaced

    front disc rear drum power brakes

    power steering

    exterior parts are in good shape minus some missing chrome and some bubbling on the doors

    Hey gang! I sold my Jeep CJ. I have 5K to play with for the Mustang. Now all you pros give me some advice to spend it!

    I really want an elimiantor hood - should i get the special hinges for the glass hood? My CJ had a fiberglass tub and regular doors, hood etc.. what are the mustang hoods like?

    I'm going to get all new weather stripping, I want a good all around suspension kit for sure, and I need to redo the interior, add a stereo... The engine and trans are in great shape for now.. so i'm thinking

    get the exterior done, then suspension/steering/brakes/ then interior

    and after another year or so i'll do the engine up all purdy like

    any thoughts from the guys and gals that have been down this road? I know i could spend well over 5K on any one of those groups.. but what suspension kits does everyone like?

     

    I'd like to just see what everyone else would do with the $$

     

    i'll be posting some wanted ads for misc parts soon so keep your eyes peeled there if you've got some good stuff to get rid of. or send me some PM if you see something in what i've outlined

     

    Mustang aside - i'm pretty torn up over selling the CJ. I've had it for seven years, rebuilt nearly everything... I decided it was just a money pit after i Just Emptied Every Pocket time and time again.. but man it was so pretty..

    i'm in Greensburg PA - travel to Marietta Ohio and Warren Ohio frequently so i can pick stuff up if needed.

    lower front valence

    I need the stainless steel strip that goes below the windshield

    I need the Driver Side drip molding trim and quarter window trim

    I've been looking through the search.. not finding exactly what i'm needing..

    I was looking through the NPD catalog the other day... came across a picture of my black finned Ford Motorsports Valve covers - it specified them for 86- 90 something i think 302...YIKES do i have an 80's block? so i started looking for id numbers - found the one on the distributor and 'googled' it - mustang monthly says its the Boss distributors have C80F-12131-A ....i've not got a boss..

     

    How many parts across how many years are bolt on swappable?

    I know with Jeep parts from 46-86 can be swapped around... could i still have a 60's block and have the 80's valve covers? is that number only for boss distributors?

    I haven't looked at the block code yet.... before i jack the thing up and pull the starter i figured you guys would be able to clear my mind a bit.

    The mustang sat outside today - it was about 90 out. we went in her car to visit the folks, came back.. and the radiator in the mustang is making this gurgling.. burping noise..

    There is one tiny coolant leak where the hose goes in to the thermostat housing.

    other than that no drips, no leaks.. coolant level is fine.

    Drove it to work a few days last week - no gurgling or burping.

     

    any thoughts?

    get a crutchfield catalog if you haven't. they should have enough shallow mount and spacers to get what you want and clean.

    i'm thinking of this for the back seat:

     

    Available for ‘64½ to ‘69 Mustang

    Add some bottom end and power to your system with our NEW custom bass speaker panel. This panel comes equipped with two Custom Autosound 8†subwoofers and the Boss 400 watt amp. Panel mounts to the back of the rear seat through the trunk. All cables & wires needed are included for quick and easy install!

    BSD-MS-65/9 $229.95 each

     

    pic looks pretty cool, can't get it to post though

    i'd drive the taurus SHO. like i stole it from a junkie with an uzi... but... out of that list i'd probably only want to own a VW. I helped this hippie couple i lived with fix one up in college, after that i always thought that i'd love to buy one dirt cheap, get a JC whitney VW Bug catalog, and take like 3 weeks off of work and just clean it up and re sell it. they're like my old jeep CJ. so simple, so few parts... i think it would be fun to put a new car interior in it, nice tunes, gobs of chrome, then sell it and chuckle.

    I'm curious about the BMW.. i know people that bought those years of BMW dirt cheap just to beat around - seemed to last but i was never impressed with them.. i think the old 380 Mercedes 2 seaters are a sweet car from that vintage..
