I got about $130 to spend..

You guys tell me what you think I need given what I have to spend. Car now drives and I have a spare tranny. It DOES have tracklock and that works. Int. is shot but I can live with that. Motor still runs alittle rough. What do you guys think I can spend $130 on and make it worth the while? Open to idea's and hate mail alike.

If you have a 5.0,and factory exhaust,get a set of factory Mustang headers and a good used H-Pipe off of E-Bay.The headers can usually be found for $20.00 or less,and the H-Pipes are usually pretty cheap as well.There are used H.O. cams cheap....really cheap.If you already have those parts,go to a salvage yard,get two driver's side rear axle shafts from a ford ranger,spindles from a Mustang GT or TC,and rotors from an Aerostar van.5 lug swap.Just some ideas.I agree,if you have enough willpower,save it and buy an H.O engine.

Sounds good so far. Might have another $100 odd coming too. I'll keep you all updated on where the money goes.

I got headers and decals from Graham, Flexplate from Brian, an H pipe from John, Door pockets and a light from Chuck next payday and *might* be selling the wheels for some extra cash.  If I forgot someone ( you ) let me know. I'm making a list of people to pay.
