    Fox 1983 T-top Coupe - $1000 - New Buffalo Butt Beer

    I know and get it. I take what he says with a grain of salt but I'm still going to say when I disagree with him. saying I'm offended is a strong wording as that doesn't offend me. everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'm just expressing mine.

    Fox 1983 T-top Coupe - $1000 - New Buffalo Butt Beer

    Probably because you post this in a public forum where everyone can read it and respond. I apologize if it rubs you the wrong way but I like to have project cars. I have about 10 favorite cars that I would like to own and work on. And even then l may sell them to get another and another and...

    Fox 1983 T-top Coupe - $1000 - New Buffalo Butt Beer

    Quite possibly. I haven't decided yet. I like having them in the garage and getting the GT for $700 was a deal I couldn't pass up.i might toss a 302 into it and flip it for a little additional cash flow.

    Fox Need A Suggestion On A Coupe Option

    Having done this, it is better to have a donor car. Saves time and money tracking down the little things. I believe the 89 is preferred due to the wiring being able to fit and work in any foxbody but double check on that. The biggest issues is the dash wiring harness. They are not all compatible...

    Fox 1983 T-top Coupe - $1000 - New Buffalo Butt Beer

    2 hrs earlier here in Az. Like 116 degrees today I think. Gotta dust off my swamp cooler and get my lazy butt in the garage. Just ordered a floorpan and 22 gallon tank for the wife's 65. We are aiming for something close to this.

    Fox 1983 T-top Coupe - $1000 - New Buffalo Butt Beer

    I was there in 2000-2001. Also early 20's. Loved Monterey just too expensive to live there outside the military life. Ended up in Hawaii where I finished my 5.5 yr enlistment. One of the best times of my life.

    Fox 1983 T-top Coupe - $1000 - New Buffalo Butt Beer

    Heartbreak ridge was an awesome movie. Still one of my favorite Eastwood movies. I was stationed at DLI Monterey for a stint and many of my friends lived at Fort Ord since that was where the married folk went at night. It had been closed for quite sometime before then though. Still interesting...

    And maybe everyone is doing a coyote swap where you are from, but I have yet to see one in person and would love a chance at putting that powerhouse in a foxbody.i think a 4 eyed T-stop with that motor would be awesome. Dave, it's your car do what makes you happy. I vote coyote swap and with...

    Fox 1983 T-top Coupe - $1000 - New Buffalo Butt Beer

    So having more than one project is a bad thing? Got it. I don't see an issue for buying a car and storing it for a project later or selling it when the time comes to make more room or make a little cash. If you've got the room I say go for it. I've been blessed to have great wife that lets...

    Fox Getting Painted So Happy

    Which molding are you speaking of? Door? (Pic) I'd lean more towards 3M molding adhesive strips. Take the molding off and put it on. It's like double sided tape. Then reassemble. maybe replace clips too.
