Post pics of how your foxbody currently sits

Noob here. This is my ‘85 getting ready for her 40th birthday (6/8/85 purchase date). I’m the original owner, it’s been in storage since 1987. 24K miles on the car as I used it as a daily driver for two years.

She’s in the capable hands of Fox Mustang Restoration in Charlotte getting the major mechanical stuff out of the way. The interior (other than the headliner) is in great shape and still smells new : )

Sweet!

They thought hard when drilled those wheels.

You need Raised White Letters and a half-inch drop IMO

Wrapping up my front end refresh and I thought I’d snap a picture of the Steeda sway bar mounts compared to the stamped factory sway bar mounts. Woof

I'm the original owner of an '82 Capri RS and have been daily driven for 43 years. Clocked 374K miles and mine doesn't smell new!

Finally got her back today. Enough work it should qualify as new : ) Uneventful 93 mile trip home. Honestly, ran, sounded, and felt new. I’ll put the center caps on after I check/retorque the lug nuts and get it aligned.

Now, to work on detailing the engine compartment and work on little details. Planning on taking her to a car show over Memorial Day weekend.

With the owner of Fox Mustang Restoration, Matt. He did a GREAT job getting it back in shape!

The little things make a [huge] difference.

Yes, it does. I switched from single to dual, and I have similar wheels.

Been up on stands since Thursday afternoon. We had great weather in NC (low 70s, low humidity) over the weekend so, it was a good time to be in the garage. Been raining the past two days but, temps are still nice.

Replaced the quads with OEM-level Gabriels and started detailing the underside. This was a daily driver for two years back in the 80’s. Very little surface rust, mainly on the unpainted parts (differential and crossmembers), and a coating of southern road grime.

Is cleaning up nice. Who needs dry ice blasting

I remembered this….. didn’t realize it was in this same thread. You should start one of your own. Plenty of us would follow along!
