hey guys need your help PLEASE.
i have had my 70 cougar 351 C since around 2005 when i was still in high school. since then i have held a position as a mechanic through college so i'm not completely ignorant when it comes to cars, but lets just say it is not my "passion" therefore my knowledge is lacking.
Anyways, my car is in driveable condition, and not horrible to look at..but still needs work. now that i have graduated from college, and have money for once, it's time to fix this thing up. I'm sure i can work out any cosmetic detail with a paint and body guy later down the road, but for now i want to concentrate on the mechanical stuff.
what are my options?
The car drives fine, but lets face it... it def feels like a 41 year old car. I want to make it feel and run like new. i guess you could say i'm not really interested in speed and horsepower unless it just happens to be a side effect of components that need to be improved upon. I'm more interested fuel economy and reliability.
please help me get started in the right direction.
