Well, after 7 years of ownership, I had to let it go. I really don't use the car much anymore. It had become a garage queen. I didn't have the time,patience,or desire to work on these cars anymore. I'm just going to keep drooling over all premo foxbody pronz in this community. Maybe the itch will develop again and I will have to scratch. Until then...last dirty car phone pic.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Man I know how much blood sweat and tears you put in that car Todd. I'm sure the new owner must appreciate the car he is getting from you .
Stick around and maybe we can talk you into buying another one...

Yeah it is small world. I bought my fcam from someone that lives in byron or did anyway. That was back in the late 90s.
Nooo. Please stick around as you always have good advice for people here.
Definitely need a dislike button. I hate to see it go, hope you don't fade away from here.

I think that is somewhat inevitable. I want to see some of these projects done before leaving(and possibly new ones that will pop up lol). I really enjoy this community and plan on being around for awhile.
Nope lol. That's also why mine is gone. I would have had to pound $$ into it if I kept it. I just realized the joy I received wasn't equal to the cash I was going to spend. I've had plenty of cars over the years and may again. Things change. Life changes and I want to buy property for summer getaways.
The cool thing is I mentioned stangnet to the guy and what a great community it is. He paints for a living(maybe another Dave lol) and of course has big plans for the car. This is his 6th foxbody and he said he would check this place out. Maybe he will start a build thread and the car itself won't disappear so we can all enjoy its evolution.

Just curious what kind of work did the car need? I had my mustang since 2003 and bought it bone stock and replaced everything. Cost me about 20k with labor included through the years. Sad part is I still don't have it the way I want it.
I don't even know where to begin adding the money I've spent on mine in 20 years. There was a repaint in there as well.

which is why I amm keeping the 86 car stock. Once you start modding, it is a very slippery slope.. first brakes, then suspension, then gears, then HCI, then a Vortech, and then you get to upgrade the entire drivetrain, ,cooling system,.
It's a sickness for sure.
It's a sickness for sure.
Geez It's a sad day, always appreciated your comments when I was looking for advice, hopefully you'll stick around or find yourself with another fox down the road.

Oh man! I just love the 4 eyes, this one in particular too! I hope the new owner will join and we can follow the car. I have owned mine about the same amount of time but not ready to give up yet!
