if it was Matt's car it wouldve had a centri-blower on it though.
thats a pretty nice looking fox though, i prefer the mid 80s with the ttops though :nod: but still not bad.

yeah same i'm pissed mines not t-tops I just have a sunroof:| i loved my dads 83 gt with t-tops

ill pass on the four eye foxbodies, ttops woulda been sweet but everyone wants huge amounts for them up here(87-88?) or they are the 4 eyes adn i dont like that front end at all
NastyEllEssWon
07-05-2010, 12:46 PM
yeah but if i was ever to buy a foxbod it would be one of those cause its easier to change a front end than cut in some ttops. but i digress....any plans for this fox body?

definitely a steal for the price, enjoy 8-)

get it running with its current set-up and then improve, i would love to put a/c and heat back in but that can wait cuz i gotta get wipers in first and get the motor running

thanx my buddy wit a 95 formula(6spd, 3.73s, dynomax muffler) wants to race, i told him to get ready to buy me a round of beer:lol:
Nice Fox and sounds like a good deal, good luck with it.

That drives me nuts when guys pull the a/c (worse yet the heat) to save the few pounds and gain a .001.

I could see if you were building a F430 or something because parts are so damn expensive but to dump 8 grand on building a mustang and the thing not running I would want to sell it also!

haha yea i think the majority of the money invested in the car went towards the motor/suspension
its has a tublar K-member, control arms, front coil overs with 70/30 shocks, maunal steering rack, the rear suspension is 50/50 shocks with stock springs, tubalor control arms(lower and upper) quad shocks are gone. i also have a set of 3.73s to install into the rear, and if corral.net every validates my account, ill have a rear end girdle to install also.
what year is that stang? if its a speed density one i got a spare computer for it(mine was converted to MAF)

07-07-2010, 03:39 AM
it was an 89 4cly thats since be converted to a 5.0(91 GT drivetrain(MAF))

Good to see you can take some jokes. Hopefully you get those parts you need and then it fires right up for you.
I noticed that with summit last time I ordered from them. I was like " Free shipping. Sweet".. Then 2 weeks later the parts arrived.
