I don't think I'll be going since my mustang is in many parts in another state. I'll likely spend that time at the lake surfing instead. But next time you're up this way and want to grab lunch let me know!Alright, so I live in the NW Houston area and my construction projects are all in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Yesterday, I had an on site meeting in Fort Worth and took the fox instead of the truck. I used ~24 gallons of fuel over 440 miles which is roughly 18.3 mpg. It was a nice drive for the most part. Had the AC on and the radio going. No real issues except every now and again at a stop light, I'd see a random puff of smoke. I checked the oil before I left FW yesterday and it was fine so not sure what that's all about. The front shocks are not great and overall the ride is pretty harsh on large bumps, but it's a Fox after all so its expected.
The new O-rings in the power steering were definitely the cure. I went out this morning to verify again and the pump is still dry. There is an oil leak behind the harmonic balancer that I've been ignoring. Now that everything else is fixed, it's my new annoyance. Ill get to it sooner or later but this weekend is Fox Fest up in Dallas (@mob @bird_dog0347 are you going?) so Ill be headed back up there on Sunday.
Also, I should be getting some cash out of my side hustle so it's finally time to rebuild the transmission. That's my next major task for the car.
With that two post (still super jelly.), it’s not to bad. Just a lot of unplugging and hanging things out of your way@RaggedGT How much of an ass-kicking is it to drop the sub frame on these vehicles?

Dang man, I didnt see this in time or I would have looked for you. Should have PMd my number. Did you end up going?Hey man, I should be there Sunday! if I see your car I'll say hello. I wont be bringing my car this year since it's not ready but hoping to join the fun next year. This will be my first Fox show so I'm pretty stoked.
No, sorry. I have an assortment bag and I just dug around until I found one that fit.Do you recall the o-ring sizes you used?
That was Mike Dula - aka House of Dula on YTI'm liking that four-eye parked to the left (its left) of your car.
It was stupid hot. Today isnt much better. Burned my feet walking in the garden.That's awesome, I'll be there in a year or two when I have my car back and ready. Yesterday was super hot, and I was outside in the heat for most of it.
I was gonna ask if that was his 4-eye…That was Mike Dula - aka House of Dula on YT
it's ok, you're out of focusPro photo with my ugly mug in the background:
The collector car insurance agencies seem to want no more than 2500 miles a year..... Thats been my experience....I'm in a pickle. I've been driving my car a lot lately, especially with the road trips. I only have liability insurance on it. So, I decided to get a quote from Hagerty for full coverage and they turned me down because I drive too much - I put 8k miles a year, which may be a little high but not by much.
The carrier that insures my other vehicles wont insure anything over 20yrs old on full coverage.
So, what now?
