Anyone here currently restoring or have restored older mustangs (64 1/2-73)? I'm looking into getting into it as a good project to take me through college and have when I'm older. How much do you think you've got invested in it, time and money wise? Glad you did it? etc.

Oh, and pics!!! :icon_thumby:

I've got a 73. I paid $600 for and right now is in dissasembly mode. I have to put in a new drivers side frame rail, and passengers side strut tower. They have a very bad habit of rusting/ breaking the strut towers because ford didn't imagine their throw away car driving around 40+ years later. It is a lot cheaper to buy one restored than to restore one actually and I wish I would have bought one now.

That goes for anything, you will almost never get out of it what you put into it.
