What's your plan? You can cut the front off, but it's actually a nice suspension.
Love building rat rods, driving mustangs, and building websites.

there is a 2001 mustang coupe stile for sale on craigslist near philly for 750.00 everything is there 2 front fender , hood , bumper, radiator shroud are damaged .
other than that the hole car is there , it has a v 6- tranny well everything . no title a bill of sale . but if I cut it up as a donor I would have most of the major stuff needed . or is this more work than I should think about ?

It would be okay if you can handle a V6? I've seen a few V6 ratrod S which were very kewl, plus you would be completely fuel injected which would be nice.

the only thing that has me concerned is if I can make the front suspension work . I have never done that before the rest seam do able . I no I can build the frame ok . and the v 6 would be ok . the thing I like is I get the whole drive line cheap .
