Is this the noob area?? LOL

Hey everybody,

My name is Kevin..

I'm a Police Officer in Asheville, NC and I currently own a 1989 Mustang LX Notch 2.3L (Project) and I just picked up a 1988 Cougar LS 5.0...The cougar is a little beat up. The body is solid but the paint is . The interior is pretty nice sans the headliner and the dash pad (big suprise). I wont argue with the price. I have been helping a buddy of mine work on his old house and in return, he has given me the Cougar. It runs but will need some TLC in the form of a tune up and the basics. It has not ran more then 10 mins in the last 3-4 years he tells me.

I look fwd to hanging out here and learning about my new toy.

Pics to come.

Thanks
