My Fox(es) In Surgery - Looking Like A Car Again,sort Of

[Steel1]

Wow..... those are some eye opening images, definitely a lot of long hours of rust repair going on there.
You said your friend is doing the work, hopefully they cut you a deal on the cost of repair.

And I thought mine had some issues, wow, surprised doors still worked.Nice that you are saving her.

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

Just to think.....I junked my favorite car ever for less rust than that.

Makes me feel a little bad for letting her go. I actually watched the crusher smash her...surprising how well the roll cage held up at first.

Glad your in it to win it.

That rust looks scary.....but imagine if you hadn't found it. That car was a rolling death trap. At least, its in an area that won't really be seen.

Me too, but I sold mine

brought my 86 up to the shop to do some routine maintenence.. took some more pics today...

 

[mikestang63]

changed the oil, trans and rear end fluids on the 86

My friend and owner of the shops 93 convertible. It has a 427 cubic in Dart motor with AFR heads and a Kenne Bell Mammoth blower along with Nitrous. Our best estimate is somewhere around 800rwhp

He has lots of gauges!

 

[Mustang5L5]

Wow. There's just a lot going on there.

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

Kind of ridiculous

 

[General karthief]

Busy,
Who cares, I bet its fast!

I like the hockey stick stripe but with less lettering in it. Interior isn't my style but not my car and I can appreciate all the work and money that went into it.
Are raised white letter tires making a comeback? They were popular in the 70s-80s.
Love the Mach I front bumper.

 

[General karthief]

Tire stickers?

 

[mikestang63]

Tire stickers?

Yes.. they are coming back. Brian ( ny friend) knows he went over the top with guags and we kid him all the time. He has gauges that measure, rpm, vots, speed, water, oil, trans, and rear temp along with boost pressure, AFR, exhause gas temp, boost and a clock. lHe prbably has over 75k in his car as like most of us, he's on his 4th motor, 2nd trans, etc.

His brother has been doing body work for 40 years and he does the paint. They are both a rare find these days in that they treat your car like it is theirs.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Tire stickers?

Yeah tire stickers are becoming a thing now.

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

We fixed a Mini Cooper at the shop that had some goodies done to it that had em, looked kinda cool actually.

 

[Steel1]

Oh ok those are stickers, got it.

Getting close Mike.

Thank God you forget to put in the hood pins, in a way, sort of.......

Who made the thread with the big pile of removed parts from his Fox?

I thought it was Mikestang... I think it was a 4 eye getting the DD treatment.
