Hi all. I’ve had 4 fox bodies in my younger days and decided that my sons first car should be a Fox. He is 15 and ready for his first car. I got him a 1993 GT convertible with 95k on it. He and I have gotten it nice and ready for him to drive soon.

Problem is, I was having such a good time working on his car that I decided I needed one for myself. So I found a 1988 LX 50 convertible for sale in Denver and bought it. Working on getting it painted now. Stripped out the entire interior because of some electrical issues. These are so much fun to work on. Hope to hear from all of you. The teal GT is my sons.

Get on over to the fox forum and start a thread on your progress with the vert, there you can ask questions if/when you stumble on a problem.
I miss my vert.
Good to have you here.

You're a good dad

Like JR said, look around our '79-'95 subforums. There's a really great group of guys there with loads of knowledge.
