Hi everyone. New to the Mustang forum from Florida. I have read many posts from this forum in my search for my first fox body. I'm sure all the great people on this forum will be able to help me with the journey.
It's nice to be here and I appreciate all the help that can be obtained from the seasoned members.
Thanks again.
Patrick

Hey Patrick, welcome to Stangnet.

What year of fox are you looking for?

There are a number of guys from your area of the country on the forum. Someone might be able to chime in if they see something you might be interested in.

It’s good to have you with us.

I suppose you already know, but just in case, look around our ‘79-‘95 subforums. That’s where us fox crazies hang out.

Thanks Guys. I appreciate the welcome. Yeah...I look on Craigslist all the time. I have seen some descent hatches for a fair price. It's always a toss up between what's been added or done to the engine vs. the condition of the body. I'm kinda of on a budget now after having some medical issues , so I am trying to be real careful about what I get to start working on.
Any suggestions would be of great help. Thanks again for the warm welcome.

One of the biggist problems I've found when looking at fox cars is hacked wiring, second on the list is hacked bodywork.
What part of Fl you in

Patrick you definitely don't want a molested fox body try to get close to stcok as you can. The engine is super easy to work on if you have some mechanical knowledge. I would go for the better body condition vs the engine.

No doubt. I would rather have a nice straight solid body with some needed mechanical work than the opposite.
I'm on the hunt. I'll find something sooner or later.
