With the interior condition of the Mustang and the air conditioning addressed, I’m going to begin driving the Mustang regularly. I’ll learn fairly quickly if there are other items that need to be addressed. If nothing comes up, my plan is to continue to work on showing it some attention through cleaning up signs of age and use while also performing additional maintenance work.

My plan is to enjoy driving the car while working through the above. They will be small weekend projects to get the car back to a solid reliable baseline. I can then decide what I need to do next based on what I feel the car needs from driving it. In the time I have driven it so far, I expect to need the following:
Hatchback Struts
Steering Rack Limiters
Driver's Door Weatherstripping
