Just brought home an 87 hatchback 5.0!

Needs some love, but runs and shifts like a dream! I couldn't be happier!

It will be a slow work in progress.. Some minor things will be done right away, while bigger things are going to have to wait for improved funding. Haha

I'm already in love!
So here she is!

That's the pretty side.. The drivers side doesn't look as nice, but the frame and the towers are solid! Definitely has potential!

Nice. Took me a few months to find my first fox as well and I loved it right away. The restoration is even better. Did some major things, and some minor things so far. Pretty much done for this year. Just gonna drive it and enjoy it and get into some more stuff next winter. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to get her plated today so I can drive it! (More than just bringing it home and parking it in the driveway! Haha)

Looks pretty solid, all the cosmetic stuff can be fixed and cleaned, at least it's not all hacked up and molested.

exactly, looks like a good cleaning and you have a stock car to do with as you will.

Definitely needs a good cleaning in and out. The interior is in great shape but a bit dirty.. Doors, one fender, and the drivers quarter will eventually need to go too, other than that it's in great shape! First things vss, valve cover gaskets, shocks and struts.. Cuz dam it rides like on the littlest bumps. Lol

Exactly! I really was hoping to find something like this and she actually found me. Guy I bought it from found my WTB ad while he was looking for replacement doors!
Could've been fate or luck.. But whatever it was.. she's mine now!

So how much did you pick your 5.0 up for? Looks good and good luck. I too have an 87' (t-top) GT
