Well the Mustang has 128k miles on it, a tad much.

Has it been rebuilt?

You'll be lucky to find a cheap fox body with low miles thats not expensive, or a low priced fox body thats not completely rusted to shit.

I'd at least go look at it

I don't think it has been. I'd go to see it but my dad doesn't want me to get anything with high mileage like that.

Gotta convince the bastard I won't find a cheap one with low miles

Buy it and rebuild it. lol

With as low as your budget is, your dad needs to realize it'll be hard to get a car with low mileage

How much you think a rebuild would be anyways.

a rebuild kit and some time would go a long way. Kits can be as low as 300 bucks, the time it takes though is quite a bit for a first timer.

If you have a pro do it, probly 2-3K.

But if it runs fine I'd wait to get it rebuilt.

I can do body work fine...but I'm not sure how I'd do rebuilding an engine.  I saw some kits on Summitracing.com, they ranged from $300-$500

Body work is completely different from building a motor.

I wrote that wrong. I was trying to show I knew about that, but nothing about the rebuild
