In deference to seeing Klutch making the effort in posting on his 70 Mach 1 resto, i will start to share my experience on the resto of my '70 Mach 1.
Here is a plug for Klutch's post:

I live in England and just over 2.5 yrs ago I got into Mustangs and bought a '65 K code FB it is just about finished being restored in the US.
Anyways to cut a long story short I was getting bored waiting for the K code and though hey I will but myself a Mustang to restore. So in Sept 2012 I imported a'70 Mach 1 with good options and interestingly complete with '72 351 Cleveland high output engine (rebuild permitting)
Been working on the car slowly but surely over the last 16 months and I'll post some updates on my progress made over the next few nights.
More or less as described save for a missing prop shaft (?)
Was stood outside in Altanta and Virginia for some time.
Been told it needs floor and rear panel replacement and some work in the trunk floor area and the engine may require strip down (the good news is that it's a genuine 351C 4 bolt unit !!)
Dashpad and door cards cracked and probably need replacing. Strangely seats not too bad.
And finally a "present" that was left running around - "added value extra" that must have got through US immigration ......................)
Strip down is next
Cheers
Chris
