Hi guys,
I am starting to think about picking up my first proper project car. A garage queen I can build up and then drive the piss out of. As much as all the other cars have piqued my interest I have LOVED the mustangs. I was one of those 16 year old kids with a mustang hat and poster on his wall. Now that I am able to afford to do some of this it is a lot harder to actually pull the trigger.
Armchair tuning is a lot easier than this!
My problem is I am always in love with the latest and greatest and with the announcement of a 5.0L 2011 I really want one of those. I have always had a soft spot for the terminator but they seem really expensive for an older used mustang.
The 4.6 to me doesnt seem like the best platform and an 80's LX foxbody doesnt really appeal to me. Personally I would like a 1996-2003 body style with a 5.0 in it. Can you swap one of those in? What else could I be looking at to do? It wont be a daily driver and if it takes me a year so be it.
edit: Good example, I know the interior sucks but I love the exterior of these. 40th Anniversary stang. Would like a decent engine in it though (maybe there is one but what do I look for).
