Welcome d-bird!
 
I just checked out that craigslist link.... what a nice car and for the price! Wow!
 
No matter what you decide to go with under the hood, this car will still be awesome (hehe... I confess, I am partial to the V8).
 
Enjoy this pursuit, work on the car, spend the next couple of years doing everything you want and everything right and when you start driving this car will mean even more to you than you could even know now.
 
At least that is how it started for me... I spent about two years working on Cougar A before I even got my licence... I already loved the car... then I started driving it, and I loved it even more... then I blew the V6 and I cried all night. Working on that car was also a father-son team. This started me right off...
hehe, last year I bought a 88 XR7 (with my V8! :D ), did all the work myself and I didn't know it was possible, but I love that car more than love itself (okay, I'm just a little wierd :hick: )
 
My point is... welcome aboard, you gotta great car there... enjoy it and do what you want. Everybody here has an opinion, but where it gets good is most of us here actually know alot of stuff about these fox cars! I owe this site quite a lot with all the tidbits of info I've picked up.

:hick: :hick: HA! I almost considered picking that one up myself! I found an '86 closer to home for $800 instead!

Very nice buy! :cool: Welcome to the forum!
