In November 2004, on a whim, I purchased a 1977 Mustang II off eBay.I don’t know the first thing about restoring old cars.But I had one of these when I was a teenager and it’s always owned a piece of my heart.
There have been times when I've thought to myself--What were you thinking! I'm a mom of twin boys, with no extra money, and no mechanical experience! But I just love my car.Whenever I'm stressed, I drive it around town and I feel better.
Restoring my old Mustang--just keeping it running--hasn't been easy. For a girl who never even changed oil before, I had a LOT to learn. Progress is slow and I'm not quite ready to rebuild an engine, but I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far.
