First restoration attempt

andez · 03-13-2007, 04:24 PM

Hey, new member here. My cousin and I just acquired a 1978 mustang 2. V-8, 4-spd manual, 2+2, t-tops. Needs brakes, brake lines, fuel line, and a full interior replacement. Any tips on where to find quality parts? I've never done anything like this before, so any advice would be appreciated!

pretty much oem. we don't have the money to make it into a show car at the moment, just want to get it looking good and running better

Not much if anything out there for mustang II parts. (that I have seen anyway) Ebay and junkyards are probably your best bet. Lots of parts for your front suspension though.
