    SO far

    It needed:
    Wiper motor
    wiper blades
    catalytic converter
    torque converter seal
    horn
    passenger floor pan

    Still needs:
    floor pan
    catalytic converter
    torque converter seal
    horn

    wiper motor was the main issue though, went through 4 remanufactured ones before I got on that worked.

    all that sounds easy except the seal. you need to pull the trans to get to that seal?

    yep. I really don't have a way to at my house because I lack the tools. Ive pulled transmissions and changed torque converters on a few s10 truck in our shop at my tech school, but Ill prob have to have someone do it for me unfortunately. That's for later though, because I don't need that to pass inspection. Ill just keep my eye on the fluid level.

    It sounds like a good idea on paper but I would of rather gone with a v6 say out of an accord or legend plus its around the same width as the mustang you shown. but with that current engine its a no from me.

    Wow. I got mine at auction and it was (arguably) in better shape than that. It leaked a lot but that was all easy fixes.
    That's what I like about vics straight from the government. They're usually pretty rough looking, but in good mechanical condition. It's also fun to completely change the look of a car with relatively cheap and easy stuff like painting wheels and polishing headlights. I want another one.

    That Mustang is sickening. I mean... wow... who would defile a classic mustang with tiny four-cylinder and FRONT WHEEL DRIVE?

    NOT COOL, whoever you are, NOT COOL.

    Ford were once thinking of replacing the mustang with a fwd model back in the 80s but mustang fans sent a lot of letters begging them not to do it so they just rebaged it as the Ford Probe.

    I liked the post, but I hated what they did to the car.

    Nice. Where I live there are no utes or really even sportwagons (unless you count audis,bmws,etc.) so it's cool to see the kinds of cars in Austrailia.
