hey yall,
im 15 goin on 16 and lookin to buy my first car so i dont hafta drive whatever lame thing my parents would get for me (if anything
)
ive always wanted an old mustang fastback that needed some fixing, but because of a variety of things (wont get into em) i wont be able to get a job next summer so puttin down 3-4k to start and more to get it done wont be an option. i found a '66 ford fairlane fastback "ex. cond. and runs" for 1k, looked online and saw a buncha them that looked pretty sweet and also a bunch that looked awful, im afraid that i'll end up getting it and not being able to afford making it look nice.....what do you guys think about it? if i put another maybe 1,500 to 2,000 into it over a year or two would i be able to end up with a nice musclecar?
maybe a mustang hood with an elevated intake, flowmaster system, fat ol tires on the back, k&n filter kit, and a nice paintjob? i can paint myself (friend of mine's dad has a sprayer) and install basic things myself, anythign complicated though id hafta get done at a shop...what do yall think? any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Joe
