Greetings everyone.
I'd first like to say that this is quite an impressive community with so much info which has aided me in finding my new weekend cruiser/toy which is a 1989 Mustang GT 5.0
I'm from Connecticut and was lucky enough to find the fox I bought with no major rust issues, or much rust in general, just some slight areas where sanding is needed, which is hard to come across living in the New England area which gets all 4 seasons. The interior is awesome in such great shape that it looks like it rolled right off the factory line. Performance wise the car has a lot of bolt on parts, and am not to sure what has been done to the engine internally, but there is a very mild cam in it for sure.
This is my first time owning a mustang of any kind. In the past, dare I say?, my first muscle car was a 1996 Camaro Z/28. Since then I've had your typical daily drivers until I got ahold of this amazing car.
My fox has some flaws which I don't know how to fix or what parts I need to address these flaws, but I hope that members on this forum will share their knowledge and experience with me. I'm not a mechanic by no means, but I have a general idea of how to perform tasks on a car with some decent guidance and tools I have in my garage.
Sorry for the long introduction, I'm just an excited 1st time fox owner eager to get her running tip top.
Is there a dedicated section as to where I can post some issues on my car that I can ask and hopefully get some insightful responses?
Many thanks and I look forward to reading and contributing to this great forum.

Her only major compliant is that there is no AC since a proper AC delete was done.
but the paint job was done so/so. It will need touching up in the near future and I'd like to repaint it the same color once I have sufficient funds.
