So to start this thread off. Less than a year ago this car had a 6.0 LSX with a massive turbo and was notorious on hillbilly videos (or what ever that is) as well as some 1320 videos in street racing action. A friend of mine had it and it was nasty. He parted out the combo and sold the car as a roller to a family friend of his. It was put back together using a 92 lx convertible (5.0 aod car) as a donor.
The car as it sits in my garage now (picked it up last night).
It goes to a paint guy in less than two weeks to have a few minor boo boo's addressed (rear bumper, front bumper, side moldings, and LX front bumper extension need sprayed or fixed).
It's painted 2012 Race Red. Was jammed out correctly and overall is very clean.
It is an udder turd being a 5.0 aod car but has nice black interior with decent black leather front seats. It still has the factor black rear cloth seat so I'll likely pick up a black vinyl seat cover/material to make it match more.
The plan for now is to pay attention to all of the small details (there are 3 interior pieces that are broke that I have red replacements for that need dyed). Locks don't work (do any of them? lol) and pass window motor isn't working properly.
I will keep the drive train stock (but clean it up as it is dirty under the hood). I plan to start collecting parts for a 5 lug/brake swap then coyote swap parts. (I would settle for a termi swap lol).
My goal is to have an excellent cruiser (but slow) and cruise in car for my wife and little girls to share in the fun on while collecting the parts for the big expensive build. Once we do swap in the coyote/mod motor we will take it and have the engine bay filled/smoothed and painted to match the nice outside paint (its red, but not the right color).
Overall I'm excited to be in a CLEAN fox and a coupe at that. I was really wanting a 93 cobra but was not willing to fork over that amount of cash.
I'll get some more pics once I have the minor paint work done and it clean.
For reference as to what I mean of clean, here are some pics of the super clean mach 1 I sold one of my friends in December)
I'm glad to be back in a fox and supporting my Save a fox foundation originator friends! (Save A Fox Foundation (1979-93 Ford Mustang) | Facebook
