Found my first fox on Craigslist a couple weeks ago. It’s not in the shape to be worth buying back. Still want it though

Neither was mine. Bad Motor, bus seats and some nasty grey interior. Trans was also busted. But thats all correctable. I'd buy it. Those chances usually don't come around a second time.

I still have my first fox, kinda like 'the girl at the other end of the couch' I get attached to things, she mentioned a newer car and the discussion was going well until she said 'and get rid of that one'.

Those are the original BBS RK wheels you widened, right?

Little rear end narrowing, big 9 inch ends and custom made control arm brackets for the 93 project car.
Gotta make a lot of room for these

Thanks man! 345s on 18x13 BBS RKs are for the 94 Cobra.
The 93 Coupe gets 15x12s with 325 50s. 17x4.5 for fronts.

Bodywork was long since done. Last body work was on the T-1 spoiler. I did put some paint on the car, decided it wasn't what I wanted so I'm changing it now.

Changing it? Lol, I understand the desire for that myself with my car.

So what color are you going with?

It's been long enough now since I lost the last one in the fire, so this car is going paint code JA. Besides I have 3 black cars already.

I remember when Ford came out with that paint code. I painted my masking machine that color so no one else would try to grab it!

Pretty color, and yeah, it has been awhile since your fire. It’s good to hear that your able to get past it a bit now. That had really sucked.

Sapphire Blue for the win! You just completely restored my interest in your car. Back when you started this, I still had my Sapphire '95 and wanted to snake your Saleen wing from your original car. I sold that car thinking it would never be anything special to me, but of course miss it now.

I knew you of all people would approve of and love that choice. Once you go Sapphire Blue, it's hard to go back. I almost bought a low mile 95 sapphire blue GT when the light bulb went off and I decided to just go with my gut and paint mine back to JA.

I still need to send you pics of my headlights. By the time I get home each day, I keep forgetting. I apologize for reaching out about it and then dropping off.

But back on topic, when do you think you will start on the repaint?

It's no problem. I can knock headlights out pretty quick. I'll be squaring away a lot of items like cutting the rear end and finalizing the chassis, but I'll be piece painting all along the way. You can expect painted pieces to start in the next few weeks.
