bought a project 71 mach 1

[novice owner of a 71 mach1]

I don't know anything about classic cars but always had a dream to get a old mustang someday. I realized all I can get is 71-73 fastbacks as 65-70 fast backs are very expensive so I just bought a 1971 mustang mach1 H code car with no engine or transmission. The body is not too rusty, rear quarter panel bottom has some rust and passenger front floor pan has some rust, other than those places it's mostly surface rust I believe. Interior is all there but the rear quarter pieces (the pieces that goes beside the rear seat) are cracked and not salvageable. Shifter is missing. All chromes and glass is in decent shape. Roof liner/dash/gauges are not bad either. Seats has tears but still usable. It was painted at some point in the past with single stage paint, original paint code is yellow.

The seller did throw in an engine which he said is a 351 Cleveland 4V. Problem is it's missing pretty much everything else that goes under the hood.. Starter, compressor, distributor, oil pan, wiring harness/fuse box, transmission, ignition system and other electrical stuff.

My goal is to get it road worthy as soon as possible within a small budget. I don't really want/afford something with lots of hp or showcar, just a weekend driver. I do not know if that goal is achievable or not but at least want to give it a try.

I am also a bit concerned if I have paid to much for the car specially considering that some people really don't like that body style. I paid little over 6000 for the car. I am located near south east MI.
