Picked Up Another Mustang

Well I've been on the lookout for a foxbody coupe that was clean for a decent price. That just doesn't seem to exist so I bought this instead. It's an 87 5.0 with no options at all. The body was redone a few years ago and it's not perfect by any means but it is presentable. It's got a Cobra R hood on it, a Flowmaster catback, and a Hurst shifter. The bad part is that it's an Ontario car and the floor is rotten. I can't understand why someone would spend the time and money redoing the body and not fix the floor. The interior also needs some TLC. I got a good buy on it so now I have to decide how far I will go with it.

The headlights are pretty yellowed and I'm not sure if I like the hood or not. I've always loved a 4" cowl hood on these cars.

Nice! So how much fixing do you have planned?

I'm getting some prices on floor pans and install. Once I see what that will cost I'll decide from there.

Visually looks pretty damn sweet. Hopefully it won't cost you much to save the floor plans. How's the rad craddle, rails and rear torque boxes,

That stuff all looks ok from what I can see. The floor situation is not good though.

Behind the clutch pedal is really bad. Is that even repairable?
