Hey everyone, just wanna share my story as my family is tired of hearing it. Picked up my first fox today and my 2nd car ever (1st was 95 Taurus SHO). Firstly I am 19 and plan on keeping this car for a long time slowly working on it and making into what I want (a really nice semi-stock driver). Anyways I have been searching craigslist for the last couple of months trying to find a fox body that is a 5 speed 5.0 and didn't have a ton of miles or a ton of mods. Everything I had seen just hadn't worked out or hadn't been in good shape. Anyways I found this on friday.
It is an 89 GT with around 81k original miles. It is pretty much all stock and original and exactly what I was looking for. I really wanted one with the lower titanium paint which this had. It is what I wanted and I can't wait to start working on it and making it into a great car. As far as mods I plan on keeping it all stock looking and my mods list consists of pretty much...gears, exhaust and not much else. Right now I am just going to do a full tune up on it...all fluids, filters, plugs, wires, etc. Then later I will add gears and advance the timing a bit. Then look at exhaust. Not really interested in doing any engine work at all. Any other mods I am missing without going into the engine and keeping a stock look?
