Hi guys new member here. Just picked up a 2005 roush stage 1 from a family member. Been in the family since 2007 and has basically sat in a garage only getting maybe 500 miles of drive time per year. Everything but the hood scoop and wheels are original even the fluids unfortunately. Even the tires are from 2007 lol still look brand new somehow. 
Over the last couple weeks I have had it on jackstands to replace the fluids and meticulously clean the engine bay, frame, and everything under the side skirts. The previous owner lives on a dirt road and even with extreme caution this thing was filthy. Luckily not a spec of rust.
Being new to this platform I’m clueless as to what’s next. My other car is 3000 lbs and makes 500 crank hp so this N/A 3v will need some help in that department. But also the solid axle with a squishy suspension and bushings starting to dry rot isn’t going to cut it. Obviously tires first. Any suggestions to get me going on a weekend warrior build would be much appreciated. I’m looking to make it as aggressive as possible and able to corner properly, but still streetable and without ruining too much collectible value. Money isn’t really an issue since this will be a several year project. Thanks fellas!
