8 plugs isn't uncommon. My 93 has the same engine. When it comes to rust, it just isn't worth messing with if you want to save money, sell the rust bucket and buy something solid, even if it needs paint. There is a reason the call rust cancer, once it starts eating away, it is very hard and expensive to get rid of.

and as far as the fuel pump, they tend to get noisier as they get older and start to wear out

ok well i mean the rust isn't that bad all it would take is a grinder and then some sheet metal to fill in the holes, but the car overall is solid.,..its just got a little work to it...for me its worth it...plus the engine and interior are in great shape....although i'm having trouble with the damn breaks...i'm replacing from like the middle of the hardline back just up to were the lines go into the acual break...with a littl work and some time it will be a good mustang...and for the fuel pump i should just replace it or could i replace it in a little while...i dont' have all that much money but i can fix it with a little time to save the money up...other than what i have told you about my car thats about it with being wrong...its a good car i just need to do a little work on it then i can acually start to make it better than stock....well thanks for the info people
