Only reason to restore would be for your use (i.e. if it were a car to which you're really attached and want to keep driving). But since it seems it's not, I'd say sell it. Get yourself a '06 Mustang!
Take my advice. Keep it!
Thanks for the advice - it really is economical and with the price of gas these days it makes a lot of sense!

Tell me what you decided to do.
exterior is in very good shape..paint still shines but the end of the bumper is cracked and a small paint chip on the hood. Rims are in bad shape.
interior is also in very good shape except for the storage compartment on the driver door is torn.
The engine rattles when idle, no AC, needs new antenna wiring & scrapes on the ground with 4-5 people.
I was asking for $1500 but someone is offering $1000 but now I'm considering not selling it. I mean what am I going to do with $1000? I'll just by a new car and keep the stang and fix it up someday.
Do you agree or does any think I should just sell it?
If you're thinking of keeping her for a fun weekend car, then I'd say why not. Is it a 5-spd?
Also depends on what sort of new car you're planning to get as well...
An old Mustang is a too good thing to give up.
Perhaps we should get our cars together - your exterior together with my car's interior - make one awesome '92!

My cherry '88 5.0 LX needs some tuning-up, and some possible MAP sensor problems addressed.
Can anyone post some contact info regarding a good/honest/reputable mechanic OR shop in the SE Michigan area that is knowledgeable about 5.0's?
Thanks!

i kept it after i sold the car.
one time i tried to put it on my '91 gt, they are both 4 lugs, but it wouldn't fit over the spindle cover.
you might need different wheels if you change the spindles.
hope this helps.
