Great look'in car!!!!!... Must be nice knowing your way around under the hood

..... I am currently trying to buy my brothers 93 Mustang ( almost identical car, but completely stock, no goodies...).
I was thinking the first thing I should do is rip out the stock shifter and replace it with a Hurst or B&M Short throw shifter....... So many places to start... sooo little money
and again, nice looking car!!!
