Another new old guy

Hi. I'm getting ready to buy an 88 GT that needs some work, but runs ok. I've owned fox bodies in the past, but it has been many years. I'm 40 now and miss my old toys, lol! All I own are Fords. I have an 02 Exploder with some basic mods and also a 92 F150 that I've been fixing up. That one is currently in the paint shop.

The mustang I'm buying belongs to my brother-in-law and has been parked for a year. Body is good, but needs tires and most of the interior. It will be a couple weeks before I'll have pics, unfortunately. I work on the river and am currently half way through a 28-day hitch. Anyway, it has the original 302 and t-5. The motor has had some work done. Mainly a top-end rebuild. The tranny will need attention. It is fine other than a 2-3 gear shift scrape, which I believe is common. I've been researching the rebuild process and may tackle it soon.

Looking forward to following your builds!
