My 1st project has begun. 1973 302, sad to say that when I look at the car I just think of how long its going to take. It was a present from an uncle and well hopefully I make it work. I don't think my experience with cars is high enough to take this task but thats why I came here to hopefully get tips and help from you guys. It was originally automatic but uncle switch trans with 88 5 speed mustang trans ( I believe so) but car hasn't been turn on because it was unfinished , and front brakes were switch to disk. Car has lots of rust on the floor. Other than that these are some pictures.
