    Progress Thread Daily Driver.... 89 GT - Front suspension rebuild

    While I do not mind pony's they are unfortunately are not my favorite wheel. However they are light years better than turbines which is definitely my least favorite wheel. Thanks, yes I owe her. For some reason she enjoys waxing cars:shrug: As for 5 lug, I like the wheel choices better plus...

    Running Hot

    When was the last time you serviced your cooling system? My 89 does not go past the half way mark anymore that I have noticed. When I first picked up my 89, it would get warm in stop and go traffic. It would go to the 3/4 mark or a little past. After it you got moving again, it would go...

    Progress Thread Daily Driver.... 89 GT - Front suspension rebuild

    My intent always was to 5 lug swap this car. Memorial weekend I picked up a set of 94-95 spindles from the local pick n pull. $52 out the door for the pair. I think I have everything else for the swap but wheels and tires. I would like to find some 98 or 99 cobra wheels for the car. I think...

    Here are a couple pics of the engine compartment. I had to modify the coil cover and the MAF bracket, The coil cover is JY one I picked up a while back so I could save the original one from being modified.

    Progress Thread Daily Driver.... 89 GT - Front suspension rebuild

    Been driving the car pretty much daily since it has been back together. A couple months ago, the wife signed up both our foxbodies for a car show that was last weekend. The front suspension was tired when I got the car with 212K. Car now has almost 224K. Needless to say the drive quality and...

    50 miles on 1/2 tank of gas

    I know you probably have different issues but I wanted to comment on the fuel gauge and how inaccurate they are. The gauge on my 89 reads double what it really should. For example when it reads half tank full, it really is 3/4 full as it only takes 4 gallons to fill. My friend who sold me the...

    RANT!!! These cars are really getting scarse

    Here in Oregon, the same thing happens. Within a few days the cars are picked over pretty good, especially if they are 5.0 cars. I believe last year there were like 7 foxbodies that showed up in the local yards. 3 were V8's but only 2 came in with their drivetrains. One was an 83 V6 capri...

    Progress Thread Daily Driver.... 89 GT - Front suspension rebuild

    Its been a while since I posted on this thread. Its been a long road to get my car fixed. The guy I had lined up to fix the car basically ghosted me. He had said he would take the car the week of the 4th. I called the body shop a couple days after the holiday and asked if we were still on...

    2000 GT: Interior color change?

    What coating did you purchase? I am asking because I want to protect the single stage paint on my 89 and keep it from oxidizing. Wife picked up the mother CMX stuff a few years ago. I never used it till recently. From what I read it is good for the money but does not last very long. Just...

    Need advice: 93 Cobra audio upgrade with no permanent modifications

    I put a system in my 89 GT that can be removed and nobody will know. Nothing was drilled and no wiring was cut, well other than the plug from the factory amp but it was dead anyway. I have kicker separates in the front. Mids in the doors with some killmat and the dash has the tweeters in the...

    2000 GT: Interior color change?

    Nice work sir :nice: That car has come a long way since you got it. I feel the same way about my 89 GT. The red was so oxidized when I got it. A lot of elbow grease brought that old original single stage right back. Then I had the titanium ground effects repainted. Now I am on the fence...

    Engine 1991 Fox body runs like crap with hood closed

    Do you have an open air filter element and an exhaust leak? If so it could be the carbon monoxide that is choking it. When I first got my jet boat, the water log headers leaked exhaust a bit, I didn't think anything about it but after about 15-20 min out on the water the thing would start...

    Engine What engine oil are you running in your foxbody?

    I have been using Mobil 1 in pretty much all my cars and trucks since I bought Tigger in 99. Prior to that, it was whatever was the cheapest name brand conventional oil. My mom's 94 Escort GT is the only car that we have owned that I have used synthetic in since it was new, well since the...
