not much left that isn't damaged. looks like you got your work cut out.

Pull a Harry Hogge and smash the only unscratched panel on the car. I'm guessing the RF fender is the least destroyed.

The both front fenders were good, that's about it. I think the drivers side is a little better.

Car says 15k miles, might actually be 15k because of the bumper sticker, paint, general all around good condition aside from the wreck, but the interior is pretty trashed.

I am going to see if I can learn how to do bodywork soon, I wouldn't mind doing this car if they let me. There is a chevy truck in the background under the carport I asked if I could weld up and my friend said yeah.

Also my camera did pretty good, these are the first pictures I ever took with it :)

HAHA I WANT YOU TO BE PERFECT!! Anyway that mustang is a goner dude. You can get coupes cheap still there isnt a reason to put that back together. I have a 65-66 coupe sitting at the shop that is about 10 times better then that one i can probably sell for about $500.. just my opinion..

Yeah, I have seen some decent cars on craigslist for $3-5k in nice condition running.

The rear frame rails where smashed up in the trunk too.

I think you answered your own question by posting those photos. :)

Unless it's been in the family for a while, I'd definitely choose a different starting point for a Mustang coupe restoration. There's a lot of them out there. That's officially a parts car.

:_paranoid I think I may know where a really nice one is!!! http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/bar/1258291750.html

I would drop a 6cyl in it and have me a nice beater :).
