No actually joined to see about what others are doing with their cars. Take advantage of peoples knowledge since the last fox body I owned was in 1988.
and more than likely use the classifieds to source parts.
Thought it might be fun to blog on it.

Yeah i think 40 stands for one of the previous owners beer drinking habits. Found a hair pick in it today with a fist for a handle. Who ever has owned this car sure treated it like $hi+.

You get the prize for nastiest carpet in a picture!

The body looks straight. Will be decent project to work from.

Some day it could like my old droptop which was bought from a junkyard and redone.
