Wanted to introduce myself. I just bought a 82 GT and will be asking many stupid questions. I promise to search forums before posting repetitive questions!
This is my third Mustang. I had a 65 fastback for 15 years. A 93 GT as a daily driver for 4 years. Both of those had to go when my second and third children came along. Now my boys are older and we wanted a project to work on.
The Car is in good shape. 64K original miles. The problem and what appealed to me as a project is everything is original. Meaning belts, hoses, wires, spark plugs, exhaust......... But, it is a really solid car. Bought it, grabbed the keys, and drove it 2 hours home without issue. I will post pictures soon.
My 8 year old and I spent 5 hours cleaning the interior yesterday. Thought I would start him with the fun/instant gratification stuff to get him hooked. He loved it. When I showed him how to use Cue tips to clean tight spots he loved it and went crazy detailing.
Next up is a tune up. It runs well but idles a tad rough. I am guessing 35 year old cap,rotor,wires, and plugs have lived their useful life.
Thanks in advance for answering the barrage of questions I anticipate.
