I bought a 87 mustang a few months ago that needs some tlc like paint for starters.The previous owner told me the car has forged pistons,e303 cam,bbk header with flomaster 40’s.The car was a gt and the previous owner started converting i to a lx, therefore im jut gunna finish his job. ---

The engine compartment is very clean. The body is a little rough, over the last 2-3 days ive been stipping paint off the car which was chipping of because i was so thick,on the passanger door rear panels, and the hatch.After taking off some of the molding ive found some surface rust, which i grinded off,and one rot hole which was covered up by a peiece of metal screwed onto the car, that has been cut out and some new metal welded in. ---
